Frankenstein - Neutral (Chaos) Attack: Powerful Defense: Basic (One-time defense)

Abilities: Take somebody’s body part at night

Attributes: You can either take somebody’s fingers or somebody’s organs Your role is a unique role

Taking a Finger: If you choose to take a finger, the person you visited will be roleblocked (this mechanic is something I'd like to see people give feedback on. Maybe there's something else I could do to make it seem like a not-Pirate here?). Targets will be notified that they are missing a finger. You can't take any more fingers if you met your goal for fingers.

Taking an Organ: If you choose to take an organ, your target will be attacked. Taking an organ will only count to your winning conditions with you take the organ of a Town member. Targets will be notified that they are missing an organ. (because of this, Frakenstein can only appear with 5+ town members) You can't take any more organs if you met your goal for organs.

Sheriff: NS Investigator: Medium, Janitor, Retributionist, [Necromancer], [Trapper], Frankenstein Reveal: Your target steals body parts. They are Frankenstein.

Goal: Take 2 organs and 2 fingers (this goal may change; the general idea is to collect x organs and y fingers)

Concerns with this role: Welp, since you listed the concerns yourself like a next level creator let's move straight to the thoughts -
 * This seems too much like the Pirate. Please help me with that.
 * I don't like the roleblocking mechanic of the finger-taking ability, because again, it seems too much like a Pirate
 * This role may be used after it wins as a free Vigilante.

On the more abstract side of things, the theme of this role could easily be copyrighted, and I'm not sure if it really has a place in ToS in the first place, but these are minor enough things, so let's overlook them.

It certainly isn't the easiest role to master, but understandable enough even for players who get it on their first time playing the game.

The roleblocking mechanic belongs to so many different roles I wouldn't really accuse this of being a rehash, I'd say the more problematic part is its goal. As different as it is, especially with the variety of actions you have to take to win.

Lastly, power wise, I would say it would be quite a pain in the ass for Town to deal with along with an NK, which I personally disagree with, but clearly, bmg doesn't give a heck seeing as this fits perfectly with other NCs. Also, this ties into the goal nicely since you can't constantly just kill people, and you could easily cooperate with other factions promising not to use your basic attacks against them.

overall, "pretty good I guess"/10 IGN

though I dislike the alignemnt overall quite a bit so yeah
