Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-36252454-20180719182717/@comment-28092296-20180725185104

1. This is a side note right? I'll fix it later...

yes

2. Maybe not NK, but some kind of Neutral, as agreed to by S0meguyyoukilled. And remember, this effect only lasts one night, not perminantly. Vigilante only gets stronger, but still suicides if he kills town due to reverting back to a normal vig the next night. This role may not affect unique roles, giving a special message that will be listed in another message sometime.

I know this. Situations like an Investigator finding the Framer/Jester/Vampire thingy means they're probably gonna get killed. Sheriffs finding anybody that's not underneath the "NS" category means that the person will die—people don't account frames (and hexes) really. Giving people killing power means that the person will promote their own interests, and not Malice's interests.

3. The maf could also be resitant to malice (showing "Your target wants to kill everyone! (Except mafia of course [This text in parenthesis is not shown]) It's imposible to direct their malice. also, who cares who gets eliminated, you are Neutral. Probs not NB as you can add a death toll to the town, like you said, not a reliable NK, NE doesn't add to the death toll, but maybe an NC?

Neutral roles were supposed to add a death toll to the Mafia and Town, and not just the Town. They're supposed to balance the Mafia's killing power and cooperation with the Town's numbers.

4. Yes, I would appreciate an explination on the difference betwwen an ability and an attribute.

An ability adds a new mechanic to a role. So, like, Escort being able to roleblock would add something to the role.

However, an attribute would affect an ability So, like, an ability would be that the Jailor can jail people. An attribute would affect the Jailor's jailor's ability (Attributes affect the role indirectly). Ex: Your jails will roleblock a target would be an attribute.

(You can say that roleblocking people as a Jailor is an ability if you were to no longer tie it in with the jail ability entirely. If you wrote "Select somebody to roleblock them at night." that would be an ability, since that's not tied in with any other ability.)
