Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-38113970-20191228175258

Name: Larcenist

Alignment: Mafia Support

Attack: None

Defense: None

Abilities: You can steal from other players each night and keep their items for your own use.

Attributes: If you die, all the stuff you stole gets returned to their original owners.

Mechanics: You can steal: Heals, Bullets, Potions, Traps, Vests.

You can only steal one thing per night, whichever is highest in priority. The Priority list goes from Traps, Bullets, Potions, Heals then Vests.

You will steal Traps from either a Trapper with an unplaced trap or a target with a trap. If you steal a trap from a trapped target, you will be dealt a Powerful Attack, meaning you only get to keep the trap if you are healed by a Doctor, Guardian Angel or protected by a Bodyguard. Once you have a Trap, you get to replace it somewhere where it will hurt anyone but Mafia.

You will steal Bullets from Vigilantes and Veterans. The Vigilante won't shoot that night if their bullet is stolen. Veterans will just kill you if you try to steal from them while on alert if they aren't, they lose one alert. Using a Bullet acts like a second Mafia Kill. It will be a Basic attack, no matter where you got the bullet from.

You can steal Potions from the Potion Master or the targets of Potion Masters. If you visit a target, you'll get the potion used on them. If you visit the Potion Master, you will steal the Attack Potion, if there are no attack potions, you will steal the Investigation Potion, if there are none of both, you will steal a heal potion, if there are no potions, you don't steal anything. You use Attack Potions for Basic Attacks, you can use Investigative Potions to find out someone's role, and you can Use Heal Potions to Heal. The Potion Master will fail to cast the potion if stolen.

You steal Heals from Doctors or their target. If you visit their target, you will prevent them from healing. If you steal it from a Doctor, you will steal their Self-Heal. You may use the Heals to heal anyone you choose.

You will steal Vests from Bodyguards and Survivors. They will still be able to vest that night. You may use them to give Basic Defence to yourself.

You may only use one stolen thing at a time.

Any unused items will be returned to their original owners. Vigilantes and Veterans can get both kinds of bullets. If a Vigilante with a stolen bullet dies before the Larcenist dies, then the closest alive Veteran gets it. If a Doctor's target had their heal stolen from you, then they get healed the night after you died. Traps get returned to their original target, trappers will not get their own trap back. You will return all the potions you stole back to the Potion Master. All vests are returned to the Survivors and Bodyguards.
