here's a good idea:

Role Name: Thief

Summary: you are a skilled thief who will steal items to use during the night.

Alignment: Town support

Abilities: (night) Steal an item belonging to your target. you can steal infinitely, but you can only steal from one person twice (meaning if he was a serial killer and you stole his knife, you could steal that knife one more time and move on to someone else). The person who you stole from will get the message "a valuable item of yours was stolen!" The effect of said item differs depending on the class. if you can't steal from the target, you will get the message "your target has no valuable items to take!" the person you attempted to steal from will get the message "someone tried to steal from you, but you have nothing for them to take!" this steal ignores night immunity, but not veteran traps. once you use the item, you will return it.

Bodyguard/survivor's vest: steal a bulletproof vest to use during the next night.

Godfather/Mafioso/Vigilante's gun/Serial Killer's knife: attack someone at night.

Lookout's binoculars: watch a person for one night.

Veteran's trap: go on alert for one night.

sheriff/investigator/consigliere's magnifying glass: investigate one person for a night. this investigation works the same as an investigator's.

doctor's medkit: heal someone once.

escort/consort's makeup kit: distract one person for one night.

medium's crystal ball: speak to the dead for one night only. this is accessed as a day action.

janitor's cleaning kit: clean someone who dies at night.

witch's spellbook: control someone at night.

arsonist's gas canister: douse someone at night or clean off someone who has been doused.

vampire hunter's stake: protect yourself from a vampire for one night.

medium's crystal ball: speak with the dead for one night.

anyone not listed is immune to the thief's steal.

Story: An unsuspecting teen wanders through the town with an upset look on his face. The other townies are certain that the so called doctor is a friendly man, but the boy knows better. "That man is the serial killer, and he needs to be lynched!" he had cried out just yesterday, but no one listened, and a poor medium had been hung because of it. If they weren't going to do something, he might as well take action. For this boy had a secret. Before his family had moved to town, he had trained to become a master thief. He had read all the books, studied the tricks of all the masters, and had conditioned himself to the point of stealthy perfection.

That night, when the town was asleep, the thief sprung into action. creeping across to the serial killer's house, he checked through the windows, and he sighed as he found that no one was there. Picking the lock on the door, he made his way through the hallways, and eventually in the killer's closet.........he found a stash knives. all them were covered in the blood of his victims. that was all the thief needed. taking one of the knives as evidence, the thief went back the way he came, making sure no one noticed him. The following day, the thief revealed the knife he had taken, and demanded that they search his house. The sheriff found the knives, the SK was hung, and the thief was celebrated as a hero, keeping the knife just in case he needed to attack someone.

Attributes: Lookout immunity.

goal: see every criminal and evildoer dead.

so? how does this look?
