Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-29669939-20161219134205

So, some months ago I made a survey on TOS, what role should be buffed/nerfed, and thoughts on the community. One role that stood out was the Retributionist. Many said that it could confirm a lot of roles and townies (E.g Medium could've talked to Ressurected Player before, limiting claimspace in TS, and could confirm the medium). So I want to give my thought on how it could work.

Abilities: Once dead, can ressurect another townie from the graveyard. If hanged on trial, the Retributionist must revive someone that night, or not revive anyone at all.

For me, this nerfs the role quite a bit. Firstly, instead of the role being a "Waiting until someone important dies, and hope not to die myself", it changes into a decisive role that HAS to die to use its ability (like a Medium's Seance).

It makes it so the Retributionist is a good thing to claim, espicially when no important Townie roles have died. People won't be so trigger happy on you, so they will keep you alive for a while.

Compared to Current Role:

Scenario 1: Jailor dies

CRetri: Revives him this night.

NRetri: Useless - Needs to die, which means the Jailor can't use his abilities (again), and the town has a less chance of winning.

Scenario 2: Consigliere finds Retirbutionist

CRetri: Will probably die tomorrow, unless he has already revived someone.

NRetri: They won't kill you, and not need to use up their killing nights.

Feel free to comment your thoughts on it.
