Role: Perisher

Alignment: Neutral Killing Abilities: Chooses one person to curse each night. Attributes: Cursed targets will know if they're cursed on their last surviving day. People who are cursed die two nights after. The Retributionist, Medium, and Witch die immediately the night they're cursed. If an Amnesiac is cursed, they can no longer remember. Curses are not affected by transports, being jailed, or Witches. Perishers can still attack despite jailed. Lookouts, Bodyguards and Veterans are not affected since the Perisher is a non-visiting role; it targets via magic instead. Doctor's heal cannot save cursed targets. They are unaffected by roleblocks. Dead mediums cannot seance if they were previously cursed. Those who die by curse cannot be remembered nor resurrected.

Investigative results: They're a survivor, Vampire Hunter, or Witch. Sheriff: They're not suspicious. Consigliere/Witch: They're a Witch.

Notes: This was to design a NK role that was non-visiting, which would add new pressure. This also adds pressure for specific people to kill the Perisher, since they don't know if they're cursed.

Here's a few problems though: It is extremely similar to Arsonist. The fact that people don't know if they're being targeted. He few differences, however (which may make the Perisher become independent).

First off, the Arso gets to choose when to ignite. Perisher, on the other hand, has a set amount of time. Second, unlike the Arso, the Perisher doesn't change the investigative results of their targets. Third, doused targets never know they were doused (until they die), while the Perisher gives thirty seconds of awareness to their target, before they've PERISHED. Fourth, Perisher can insta-kill certain roles. Fifth, Perisher is not detected by visiting. Sixth, Perishers can curse despite being Jailed. Seventh, Perishers have a disadvantageous investigative result: they're detected as a Witch, rather than another added into the already existing role list.

Now there are also some new issues: First, what's the effect on Witch being investigative results? Should the doctor get to heal (only on the night they're cursed, not while they're already cursed)? I feel like I wanna add something new for the jailor so I did that
