Summary: You are a vengeful chemist working for organized crime.

Attack: None

Defense: None

Abilities:

- Change someone's visit to another's

transporter...

Attributes:

- You cannot be role-blocked or controlled.

no mafia is immune to being controlled but I guess this is ok.

Mechanics:

- Select two targets. Those targets will appear to have their visits swapped (i.e. You target A and B, A visits C, B visits D. You swap their visits, so A would appear as having visited D, and vice versa). Note, your target will won't be affected by you, but the people around them will.

- For example, if you target a Sheriff and Mafioso, and the Mafioso visits someone protected by a Bodyguard. The Sheriff visits a different player, and would still get the results of that player, but would trigger the Bodyguard, killing the Sheriff, because they got swapped.

so what about results

if invest visits A, but A and B were switched, does the invest get A or B's results.

Investigation Results:

- Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

- Investigator: Your target could be a Lookout, Forger, Witch/Coven Leader, or Cloaker.

- Consigliere: Your target uses hallucinational chemicals to thwart others' senses. They must be a Cloaker!

Why Its Not Like Transporter:

- Trans swaps visitors, this swaps who you visit.

no, you said in your explanation that Mafioso kills the person but Sheriff dies to Bodyguard.

- Trans directly impacts their targets, this role impacts those who rely on visits more. 

Heres A Better Explanation:

- Basically, your targets aren't affected, but if there's a role that depends on visits like Spy/LO/Vet/BG, you will swap who they see/perform ability on.

No, here's a better explanation:

switch the visits of two people.

a wants to visits b

c wants to visits d

you switch these so

a visits d

and c visits b

bodyguard should not kill b in this situation, it wouldn't make sense

This is a very interesting concept, i like it a lot

but I still think it's sort of a transporter rehash, not directly changing the roles you choose, but swapping two roles nonetheless

even if it wasn't, i feel it is slightly UP, because it doesn't affect some roles (non-visiting) and it only saves mafia from a handful of things.

Sorry, the quote got messed up from me about to post something earlier, then having dinner, then knowing it would fail so i copy and pasted it. still works though
