Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-34703140-20190402050728/@comment-38965982-20190402172009

I agree that the idea of the "ability-giver" is touchy, but this role does it very well.

First, you people say he giving stuff to retri is op, and I agree: but it says in the role description specifically that retributionist is not applicable to this. It can also benefit evils, which is a good balance to giving Jailor more executions.

It should also be made that the salesman can't give roles stuff until they've used at least one and aren't at max: Jailor can't have 4 exes, for instance. He also can't give it to a Vigi suiciding that or the following night, or a Jailor who exed a townie.

Roles like Retributionist, Mayor, and even roles like Lookout or Medium can be confirmed with general ease: Med can give info from the dead, LO can prove random visits that aren't confirmed or shown in dead last wills. I don't think the "confirmability" of this role is an issue.

Also, as soon as they come out, they'll probably be killed, b/c they're confirmed town but not a high priority target like the Jailor or Mayor.
