Will do

Role Name: Soul Eater

Alignment:

Attack: Powerful

Defense: Basic

Good NK stats

Unique: Yes

Duly noted

Abilities: Consume someone’s soul to make them a soulless husk.

I’m interested...

Attributes:


 * You may consume someone’s soul to make them a husk.
 * If someone is a husk, it will be as if they were dead (talk to dead chat,, etc.

I notice that this does not specify whether they can still take actions/Reveal as Mayor/Plunder/Be lynched as jester/Jail/Other things that help then win etc. 


 * Husks cannot talk or vote.

Uh oh, can they use Death notes?

”Ok guys, the sheriff says that the Med claim is lying”


 * You will kill anyone who visits the husk.

'''...Thaaaats a little TOO powerful. So you create WW minions?'''

'''Wait a sec, would TP stop people from becoming husks? If not Jailor might be in trouble...'''


 * You may choose to kill the husk to make consume a different soul the next night.

You’d want to do that a lot


 * You will not attack visitors on nights that you consume or kill husks.

Yeah that’s for the best


 * You cannot consume anyone with defense.

(Scratch my earlier Jailor remark)


 * there can only be one husk at a time.
 * anyone you kill will have their missing. (So people can’t immediately find the husk)

What about DN?

Goal: Kill all who would oppose you

Please specify (NK goal works)

Results: Your target is suspicious!

You tell em Sheriff!

Investigator Results:, , ”, Soul Eater, or.

Ooooh, I like that...

/ Results: Your target consumes others souls, they must be a Soul Eater.

Other:
 * husks will show as dead in faction boxes

'''So they disappear? Won’t factions figure out who the husk is easily then?'''

'''Wait, bigger problem. That faction has a stay at home WW... that’s pretty exploitable, especially for Vampires (Welcome to the Vamp family *husk*! (VH visits Husk) )'''


 * this messes with voting a little, since, say there are 15 players, one being a husk, there will still be 8 votes needed to lynch. But since there can only be one husk it’s not a problem. But it means this role has to be unique.

'''Ah, that’s...

Well honestly that drags the game a bit, I see some pros though'''

Example of play:

(You can stop reading now but below is just another possible example)
 * N1. Soul eater consumes A’s soul. For A, it says their soul was consumed by the Soul Eater, they can now talk to the dead chat, etc.
 * D2. A is still in the town looking alive, but they cannot vote or talk (to alive chat) because they are dead inside, they are a husk.
 * N2.the Soul Eater cannot do anything except kill the husk, which he won’t. B & C visit A’s husk.
 * D2. B & C were “Devoured by the Soul Eater.”
 * N3. The soul eater will kill A’s husk. D visits A but does not die.
 * D4. A was “devoured by the Soul Eater”
 * N5. Soul Eater consumes E
 * N6. F kills E. F & E both die
 * N7. Soul Eater consumes G....

I appreciate the examples

Hm, will post a fuller review when I get to a more functional device, this has issues though...
