Coroner - Mafia (Deception) Attack: None Defense: None

*flashback to Forensic*

Abilities: Mark a target to bury their body at night

Attributes: You can mark up to three targets at night

Marking a Target: Visit somebody at night to mark them Marking a target will hide who killed them (This can be used to hide Town roles that confirm themselves by killing—Vigilante, Vampire Hunter, Bodyguard, etc.; this also causes chaos) Marking a target will last until the Coroner dies (Coven DLC attribute: Guardian Angels can purge and remove a preparation to hide a target) The coroner will know what killed their target Select a target to remove their mark

'''Okay. So a Janitor but for means of Death.'''

Investigator Results: Survivor, Vampire Hunter, Amnesiac, [Medusa], [Psychic], Coroner Sheriff: Mafia Reveal: Your target deals with dead bodies. They must be a Coroner.

​​​​​​​So they claim Psychic, okay.

Goal: Mafia goals It's a nice concept and role, but it's not very strong. I'll explain why it isn't very strong.

Why -

Covering up the deaths doesn't really DO much. have it in their will, and since the person they said would be dead is dead, they're confirmed, through logical deduction. confirm themselves easily, and even if everyone they killed was masked by the Coroner, again, logical deduction would tell that  did it. can only kill, so they get confirmed too, since the role isn't hidden. dies with it's target, so logical deduction would give us that died due to guarding someone. has a special, so there goes that.

As for covering up kills, that doesn't do much either. usually knows which role is by Night 3, so yeah. Covering up does nothing either,  assumes it's  since nobody wants to visit.

Covering up kills does absolutely nothing, they can deduce that it was  since no-one else died.

Covering up kills is a bit redundant, so why would you even do that? Either way, since nobody else died to except for the covered up dude, they can deduce it's from. Same thing applies to the various roles.

Current utility -

Really only covering up absent visits. This way, will say that whoever was rb'd isn't, as they were still maximum  visits, when, in fact, they were.

Suggestions -

Make it hide too. is commonly outed in of, and  only gets away due to their unique.
