Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-31939005-20170513205742

Name: Lumberjack

Alignment: Mafia (Support)

Goal: Eliminate anyone who will not submit to the Mafia.

Attributes: -Can read (and speak in) Mafia chat.

- Turns into a Mafioso once all Mafia (Killing) roles are dead.

Abilites: Decides whether or not to cut down the gallows at night.

Mechanics:

- Cutting down the gallows makes it so the rest of the town can not lynch during that day. The voting stage of the town will turn into 15 seconds of extra discussion time for the town.

-  This ability may only be used once.

- The night following the day without the gallows, the gallows will be rebuilt.

- If a witch controls you and makes you target your self, then you will cut down the gallows (if you still have your ability remaining). If the witch controls you into anyone else, you will not cut down the gallows. If you do not have your ability remaining, then a witch does nothing to you.

Investigative Results:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target is waiting for the right time to strike. They could be Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf or Lumberjack! OR Your target sticks to the shadows. They could be a Lookout, Forger, Amnesiac or Lumberjack!

Consigliere/Witch: Your target hacks at the gallows with his trusty axe. They must be a Lumberjack!

Spy: A member of the Mafia visited the gallows last night! (although that is kind of self explainatory)

Other Notes:

- When the gallows is chopped down, the message "The gallows have been cut down by a Lumberjack! They will be unusable for the rest of the day!"

- Along with the message, there would be the gallows lying chopped in half the next morning. The following day there would be no message, but the gallows would look just as they do on a normal day, indicating that they have been rebuilt.

- This role will be unique. The reason for this is because taking away the ability to lynch for a day is a pretty big hit to the town already, and there is no need for a second day where the town can not lynch someone.
