Alignment: Mafia (Deception)

Unique Role: Yes

Attack: None

Defense: None

Description: You are a crooked bankteller who is employed by the Mafia.

Abilities: Each night, you may visit a Mafia member, or a person that is not a Mafia member. You will bribe anyone who Investigates your target.

You can only visit members of the Mafia 3 times.

'''The Spy will NOT see you visiting a non-Mafia target. However, they WILL see you visiting a Mafia  member. (This eliminates one of the main weaknesses of the Framer, which is getting yourself and possibly other Mafia members busted by the Spy. However, to make it balanced, the Spy will see you visit a Mafia member, so they can still catch you in the act if they correlate with a Investigative role.'''

If you visit a Mafia member, you may change their Investigative results to that of another role. ​​​​​

If the Mafia member you visit is visted by the Sheriff, they will appear NS.

If you visit someone who is not a member of the Mafia, you will change their Investigative results to the following:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target could be a Briber, Vampire, or Jester.

'''The Lookout will not see anyone visit your target. However, if multiple people visit your target, the Lookout will still see each visit.'''

The person investigating/watching your target will NOT know they were bribed.

'''The role utilizes a custom UI (similar to the Hypnotist) where you select what set of Investigative results an Investigator will see when they visit the Mafia member. While this does lock down a Mafia member to one claim, their claim becomes hard to break, unless a crafty Spy correlates their results with an Investigator.'''

On the flipside, while changing the Investigative results of someone to that of a Briber isn't too useful, it can make the Town lynch someone if they claim something that is easy to fake, such as Medium, or cause the Jailor to execute a possible Jester.

'''​​​​​​​The role does have some weaknesses, though. It has no night immunity, so it can be killed by NK roles and the Vigilante. It can be killed by Serial Killer if they visit them, or, if they visit the same target, the Werewolf (The Serial Killer is too bloodthisty to care about bribes, and the Werewolf is too feral to care about who he's killing.) The role also cannot make itself look innocent, so if you're busted by an Investigator or Sheriff, your only choice is to claim someone framed you. This can be more plausable if the Investigator or Sheriff has checked out a Framed target beforehand, but it's hard to pull off, particularly if you've claimed a role like Doctor.'''

I've decided to change some things about the role, including the details about how the role helps the Mafia. The things I've changed and added are bolded, and as always, please leave any feedback you have. (I'm worried that psuedo Spy immunity may make it too powerful, so if anyone has any alternative ideas to subvert the Framer's Spy weakness, it'd be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone's wondering, I will update the role and the guide to reflect the Coven expansion at some point.)
