The Magician had talked to the Medium. Learning everything there is to know about magic. When the Coven heard about this new Magician, they had to come and see. The Potion Master was suspicious. That night the Magician performed his infamous Switcheroo act. Swapped around the Potion the Potion Master had set out. The Potion Master drank the whole bottle.

Then town cheered for the Magician, yet when the Transported went to transport him, the Transporter instead transported himself.

Edit: To clear confusion, the backstory was merely for fun, and not an in-game summary.



Description:

Alignment: Town Support

k.

Attack: None     Defense: None

Type: (ideas?)    Priority: 1    Uses: 2

'''priority 1? Interesting'''

Investigator: Your target could be: Ma gician,  Trapper, Ambus her, Medusa, or Poisoner

Consigliere: Your target has many magic kits. They must be a Magician!

'''sheriff? i know it would be not sus but you have to include it anyway!'''

Game Info:

You are a magician who uses magic against your enemies.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Abilities: Choose whether to perform a Switcheroo at your house.

'''*laughs* What? A switcheroo?'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Attributes: Any visitors to your house will have their ability used on themselves.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''So a switcheroo basically means that anyone who visits you will, for example, investigate themself? This seems like a buffed veteran with infinite uses.'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Stragedy: You want to be very careful to make a name for yourself. As Switcheroo can be as good for the town as it can against. For example, a vigilante payin g a visit can be a very bad t hin g if you are performin g a Switc heroo. You want to make sure t he Mafia wants to kill you so you t hen can swap it around. You can be a very valuable asset if t here is a Pestilence, as a pestilence, or any attackin g t hreat will instead kill themselves. You can also confuse people like Investi gators, so be careful. You could very easily save, or destroy the town.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''A vigilante getting switcherood would be good for town because it would be one less dead town member. There is no real downside to this apart from messing up the investigative roles. You could indeed save the town, but you'd have a hard time destroying it.'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Trivia: You  have roleblock immunity so you can still Switc heroo if a Pirate plunders you, or a Jailor  hauls you off to jail and decides to execute you.

'''You can switcheroo through jailors and pirates? That's straight up OP.'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">If t he Jailor executes you w hile you Switc heroo, t he Jailor will be executed.

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> Also OP. And really the only downside of this role, but only a gamethrower would even do this in the first place.

Rejected because it's a bad role. Normally I like to say rejected with tweaks, or that it could be accepted if you do certain stuff, but this is just not a good role. I dislike it and think it is very OP, with no obvious downsides. It also feels too much like a buffed Veteran. All in all, BAD.

Rejected.
