The chat log would then pop up instantly*, allowing them to see exactly what that player did since Day 1. The Medium is also able to exit and bring up another player's log at will.

'''But aren't they in the chat log anyway? Or is this like a log of movements they made at night? If the last one, kind of OP tbh.'''

'''It's a log of movements they made at night, and they will have access to any night chats the dead person had. This includes being jailed - but the Medium will see the Jailor as "Jailor", and any evils as "Mafia" or "Vampire" like the Spy used to.'''

I suggest this buff since, let's be honest, Medium relies entirely on dead people. If everyone who dies leaves immediately, this role is left completely useless - it might as well be a civilian. This buff allows the Medium to be its own role, able to gather information by itself instead of going off what the dead say.

'''Yeah, but that's not a problem with the Medium tbh. The Medium can change a game, it's just the players that need to improve.'''

''' That may be so, but it's the nature of humans to be imperfect. We do need players to improve, but there will never be a 100% skilled fanbase, or even one with a slight idea how to use the Medium properly. The role itself is fine, which is partly why I want this buff - it's often useless through no fault of its own. A game is meant to be fun, is it not? '''

If a person is cleaned or stoned, the Medium will not be able to read their log or will. If a person is forged, the log will still be available, but their will won't be.

K.

An alternate idea would be to make it take one night to bring up a log, and then they could read through it the following day or night. Or both! I think this is an OP idea, and besides Medium does not need a buff.

That's just my two cents though. Others are welcome to debate.
