'''imo, the name doesn't really fit into the theme. it isnt that magic was unheard of in salem, since the game is literally based off of witch trials, but you dont see any other roles like this. the town roles are mostly occupations, and even coven roles do make sense within the world of Salem. This is just my personal opinion, but referencing ice just seems completely different to the lore of the coven.'''

Alignment: Coven (Evil)

okee

Abilities: Freeze a target once per night

oh noes

Attributes: n/a

Attack: Basic

sounds good

Defense: None

Freeze Ability:

Frozen targets are roleblocked. This does not trigger anit-roleblocking mechanics (Sk/Ww)

'''So does it kill or roleblock? both are rehashes so far o.0'''

Anybody that visits a frozen target has their ability 'deflected' (minus attacking roles). (They will see: "Your target was frozen and you could not perform your night ability.")

'''sounds okay, I guess. It makes sense, at least'''

Frozen targets thaw after two nights. If the frozen target thaws this way, they are dealt a basic attack every night until they die.

'''so two nights of roleblocks and then permanent death. that is so op'''

Frozen targets thaw if they are attacked.

'''and die straight away. awesome.'''

Frozen targets know they have been frozen ("You were frozen in ice.") ("You could not perform your ability because you are frozen.") (Somebody tried to freeze you but you were freeze-immune!")

' You were frozen in ice'' doesn't exactly sound grammatically correct but ok, and which roles are immune to freezing..? '''

You cannot freeze an immune role.

aka who?

Frozen targets gain basic defense. makes sense

Necronomicon ability:

Frozen targets are dealt a Powerful attack after two nights.

buffing something already op as heck awesome

Investigation Results:

Investigator: Doc, Disg, Sk, PM, Ice Master

1-1-2-1, sounds pretty ehh to me

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Coven! (Necronomicon: NS)

lets not nerf sheriff even more, please

Reveal: (I don't know)

thats just lazy, man, its your role >_>

Additional Notes:

n/a Main points:

-The lore and flavour of this role feels off to me, but that's pretty much just my personal bs

--Something that I don't think is just my personal bs is how powerful this role is. Dude. You take the consort from a faction that's supposed to be about as powerful as the one that this role belongs to, buff it really hecking hard and give it a killing ability that no other roles has. Please no.

+It is a unique type of role, and the way you merge abilities seems interesting at the very least

Just remember that it really isn't easy to get your role to be approved my many, so if it doesn't get into the game, don't be too discouraged because very few actually do. Even with that I have to say that your idea is better than quite a lot of the roles out there :P

If you haven't already, please take a look at this page, it helps a lot when creating roles: http://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Making_New_Roles
