Why I think Medium is very useless:

Let's take a look at the med's abilities:

Abilities
When dead speak to a living person at night.

Attributes
You will speak to the dead anonymously each night you are alive. You may only speak to a living person once. At first it sounds like a decent role to me, but just really think about it. You can talk with the dead at night anonnymously, meaning your name won't show up. That means in order to have the dead know who you are, you have to say your name, which takes precious time to talk to the dead. What if early game the person you're talking to is the witch? You're basicially just talking to someone who wants to have a conversation instead of just help out. Next up, you're just useless Night one, as obviously no one is dead. So if you die N1, you're only special ability is to send information to the living. And also the fact that there could be a Disguiser dead, which means they can easily manipulate you if they claim so and so is Mafia and they disguised as Sheriff. And then the Medium organizes a lynch against the Bodyguard. Then the Medium has a chance of being executed by the Jailor, shot by a Vigilante, by the mafia that choose to kill them even though they're suspicous. Like WHY DO YOU FUCKING DO THAT IF THEY'RE GONNA DIE ANYWAY YOU STUPID-- * please stand by*. Then your ability to seance someone. To coding, the medium visits who they seance, meaning if a witch controls medium, then the following could happen: The Veteran pops their ass, the Werewolf mauls their ass, or get lynched by a lookout, and in this situation, the only person to confirm that you were witched is that if another lookout was watching you. Then if you're dead and you prep up a seance, you could end up seancing someone who is either afk, a evil role who wouldn't do anything to hurt the team they are on or are siding with, or would just won't agree with what you say. And with accusations, what if you put down your accusation because 'I am the med and the sheriff said so and so is mafia'. The chances are you may be accused of a executioner. And when there is a Janitor, you're gonna suffer a nightmare, because a invest may assume you're a medium. And then you're soon lynched. And if a Spy dies and you do a 'Medium spytest', you are then possibly going to be accused of bmer unless a sheriff or invest confirms this. Your only hope is having investigatives save your ass. That's why I think medium is useless and should get a overhaul, but try not to risk increasing town's win rates. Signed, Ghosty.
