- On the third day you gain Detection Immunity

ex.)

n1 -  x died. x was buried. y died, they were killed by mafia. y was doctor

n2 - t died. t was buried. u died. u was buried. v died. v was buried

n3 - l died, they were killed by a mafia. l was sheriff

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is a Gravedigger!

Investigator: Your target is, , , or Gravedigger

Consigliere/Witch: Your target works to bury dead bodies at night, they must be a Gravedigger

Goal: Kill all who oppose you.

Wins With: NE, NB

Must Kill: All else I like this a fair amount as a role.

• The Investigator's result could use some work, but in the end, it doesn't really matter– in Ranked the Gravedigger could just claim the role of one of their victims. It will nerf the and, which is going to be painful, so I guess for this it might be useful to move the result to one with more valuable roles.

+ This role does nerf the a whole lot by making it so they can't fully rely on roleclaims, which will also help the  which is good.

+ It also does a good job of balancing itself, only having a Basic attack, and only being able to attack 2/3 of the game.

• I'd add in a little more flavor text: "Cotton Mather's house was found empty. They were buried by a Gravedigger." "Alice Parker was killed by a member of the . They were buried by a Gravedigger." Reading "Mary Eastey died. They were buried by a Gravedigger." is a little boring. Thanks! I will change the role to Spy/Blackmailer/Jailor

But also, about the last bit, one of the abilities as the Gravedigger is to eliminate the knoledge of who killed a person.

If Cotton Mather died to Mafia/NK/Town, the town will never know. If three people died the night the Gravedigger buries, you won't know the third way.
