And then again, you only can do it twice. If you do it in the beginning of the game, sure, you have a larger chance of a Townie, but it won't have much effect as that Townie may not have much info for the beginning of the game. Plus, you can possibly choose a Mafia member or a Neutral, wasting a change, but knowing their possible alignment.

It for changing helpful roles into less-helpful ones, if an Investigator is the only one left who can find evils, he is now a Spy who can only prove who isn't Mafia and who is immune. A late game changer.

Lookout still sees it, and Unique Townies can't be changed. If he goes for a Veteran, he dies and the Vet stays normal. Only a maximum of two Townies can be changed, usually they might just edit their will to:

Lookout

N1: Betty Parris: No visits

N2: A big guy: David visited

-Changed into a Spy-

N3: Bugged Jeff: Nothing

Mafia visits: David, Molly

Plus, those who get their role changed aren't leaving much anyway, due to possible gamethrowing and the leaver-timer system.
