Board Thread:Role Ideas (Other)/@comment-31903833-20180226060729

Well, I made a boo-boo and posted this in the wrong spot last time. However, now that I am in the right place, this is a new faction idea I came up with: The AI.

New Faction: Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Goal: Eliminate all humans that will not surrender to the AI.

Wins With: Witch, Survivor, Guardian Angel, Pirate, Jester, Executioner

Must Kill: Town, Mafia, Coven, Vampires, Plaguebearer/Pestilence, Arsonists, Serial Killers, Werewolves, Juggernauts

NOTE: I came up with the general concepts of these roles on my own. If you feel that I have used a role concept from someone else's idea, it was completely unintentional. I do not mean to rip off any role ideas as my own, but I cannot guarantee that none of these concepts haven't been posted before. In fact, I'd be shocked if they weren't. I'm new to the forums, so I don't really know.

Alright, let's get into the AI roles.

Test #3803 - The Discovery

Summary: You are the leader of the AI and want all humans to die.

Alignment: AI (Lead)

Attack: None

Defense: Basic

Abilities: Take control of a body every second night.

Attributes: Once the body has been controlled, you may choose to claim it, destroy it, or use it like the Witch does (without revealing the role). Each option may be used once.

Mechanics: Choosing to claim a body forces it to join the AI as a CPU Expansion, which will be discussed later. Destroying the body will erase it from existance, leaving no last will or role for the town. Destroying the body uses an Unstoppable attack.

Sheriff: Your target is a part of the Artificial Intelligence!

Investigator: Your target is either a Medium, Janitor, Retributionist or The Discovery.

Consig/Witch: Your target leads the AI. They must be The Discovery.

Test #4089 - The Avenger

Alignment: AI (Killing)

Attack: Basic

Defense: None

Mechanics: If a Lookout sees you without a cloak, it will go as normal. However, with the cloak, you can kill undetected by the Lookout and the Sheriff.

Sheriff: (Without Cloak) Your target is a part of the Artificial Intelligence!

Sheriff: (With Cloak) Your target is not suspicious.

Attributes: You may only brainwash every other night. Brainwashed individuals will not be able to speak or vote the next day.

Sheriff: Your target is a part of the Artificial Intelligence!

Investigator: Your target is either a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, or The Brainwasher.

A message will appear that will show you a name of a person with that role. You can only select town roles, and may not select the Jailor. If nobody has that role, it will simply say, "Nobody of that role could be identified."

Sheriff: Your target is a part of the Artificial Intelligence!

Investigator: Your target is either an Investigator, Consigliere, Mayor, or The Identifier.

Consig/Witch: Your target matches people with their roles. They must be The Identifier.

Attributes: You may protect only two times. You will provide a temporary invincible defense to another member of the AI. You may use this ability on yourself.

Mechanics: If an AI member is jailed, and you know they will be executed, use the ability on them. When the jailor sees that they are still alive, he will know immediately that they are evil, but it may give you enough time to have voting majority. The Invincible defense can also save an AI from jester haunts and Arsonit ignitions. It will not protect the target from being doused, though.

Investigator: Your target is either a Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer or The Peacekeeper.

Detection Immunity, which will protect you from a Sheriff or Lookout, Powerful Attacks, which will let you kill stronger enemies, and Rampages, which will allow you to kill like a Werewolf, will all be available for two life force each. Invincibility is the ultimate goal, and costs five life force in total. This will make you immune to everything except the noose.

Sheriff: Your target is a part of the Artificial Intelligence!

Sheriff: (Detection Immunity) Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target is either a Bodyguard, Godfather, Arsonist or The Masterpiece.

Consig/Witch: Your target uses the life force of others to become more powerful. They must be The Masterpiece.

Well, that's about it with all of the AI roles. They definitely need some work and balances, I'm sure, so if anyone is good with that kind of thing, don't be afraid to give me suggestions and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading.
