BONE, I see your points and have fixed some issues. I have mentioned when certain features can be removed if the person(s) reviewing feel so.

Name: Hitman (Sniper when joining Mafia)

Alignment: Neutral Killing (Mafia Killing when joined)

Game Information/Background: In another Town, far far away and more hostile than the insanity of Salem, there lived an assassin for hire, who enjoyed executing his targets. After a huge failure of his latest mission, he ran into hiding. Yet he had a constant impulse... for murder. He began to hallucinate and vision scenarios where he would attack someone he had known, whether it be a random encounter or a close relationship. Soon, however, his delusions became a reality.

Attack: Powerful (when sniping); Basic (on alert)

Defense: None (when sniping); Basic (on alert)

Killing Unique[*] [like the Juggernaut, this role is intended to be secretive and rare] | Priority 4

Abilities: Snipe your “target”, or go on alert at home.

Attributes:

- When sniping, you deal a powerful attack to only your target.

- When on alert, you shoot anyone with a basic attack, and you gain a basic defense. [there can in theory be a message the Godfather can receive, saying “this boi is a sniper” for example]

- Fighting the Godfather on two alerts will let you join the Mafia, yet you will lose all of your alerts.

- Sniping three players of the same faction will give you a Spree ability for one night.

Mechanics:

- The Hitman can snipe or alert whenever they feel.

- If a Town Protective uses their ability on you whilst you are on alert, the ability fails and they are killed (unless they are healed by an external host). [failure meaning if they intended to (e.g.) heal you, they won’t (irl the hitman says “no” *bang*)]

- If the Godfather chooses to attack you whilst you are on alert twice, you will be promoted to a Mafia member as a Sniper (the only way to retrieve this Mafia role). [the reasoning only the immune role can promote is bc the Godfather is the leader of the group in reality (they will kill a mafioso, but the second time around they won’t (too much?))]

- When promoted to a Mafia member, your investigative results are changed, and you can only snipe, not alert, for as many nights needed [until the game ends].

- Sniping three players of the same faction (e.g. 3 Townies) will grant you the ability to use Spree, allowing you to deal a basic attack to two people who have not yet been shot in one night (Spree can only be used once). [I nerfed this one a bit, which simultaneously made it more complex and less simplistic]

- You cannot be blackmailed. If you are blackmailed, the Blackmailer will receive the message “Your Target seems to know you more than you know yourself. You let them be, seeing yourselves as equals.” [this was designed to fit the/a Hitman’s persona/character more accurately; it is a fine feature but is argueably useless, I understand. Remove it from your eyes if you want]

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your Target is not suspicious. (w/o Mafia); Your Target is a member of the Mafia! (w/ Mafia)

Investigator: Without Mafia: Your target is mysterious and holds no items that can show you any information. || With Mafia: Your target could be a Vigilante, Veteran, Sniper, Pirate, or Ambusher.

Consigliere/Witch: Your target is an elite sharpshooter who’s kills are enjoyable. They must be a Hitman.

Goal: (without Mafia:) Execute everyone on your target list. [this relates to the backstory “mission” bc they’re delusional and can make a list up, which thusly means kill everyone] (with Mafia:) Kill everyone who would oppose to the Mafia.

Wins With: Survivor; Witch; Pirate; Mafia (when joined).

Must Kill: Town; Mafia (when solo); Coven; Arsonist; Serial Killer; Werewolf; Plaguebearer/Pestilence; Vampire; Juggernaut.

Anything Else: This role was originally designed to be a Special role, similar to the Juggernaut in the chance of receiving it. It has the design of an inverted, if you will, vigilante fused with veteran. It has the unique ability to join the Mafia on a rare occasion, and has minor attributes that are designed to fit the persona of the character.

Color: Pink? Forest green?

Killing messages:

You were shot by a Sniper!

Someone attempted to snipe you but failed!

(For TP:) Your target refused any protection and swiftly shot you down.

You were shot while visiting your target! (While Alerting)

[*Yes I did screw that one up.]
