The Assassin stalked through the night.

The full moon's light danced along the streets of Salem, summoning shadows that crept through the town as if terrible beings from another world were coming into this one. This was were the Assassin did his work.

The Mafioso was, revolver in hand, sneaking up to the Sheriff's house. The old cop had lynched the Mafia's Consigliere the previous day, and this family wasn't going to let one of their members die without some revenge.

However, the Godfather thought the Bodyguard might be guarding the town hero, and he didn't like to take chances. For that reason, he had a mission for the Assassin, the newest member of the Mafia.

The Bodyguard was there, though the Mafioso couldn't see him. Watching for movement around the Sheriff's house, he was a valiant protector, and would do anything to stop a killer- even sacrifice his own life. The Mafia knew this, and it was a problem. Getting rid of that problem was the Assassin's job.

Jumping onto the roof of the Sheriff's house without making as sound, the Assassin prepared to strike. He loaded a bullet into his rifle, and set himself in prime shooting position. The Bodyguard's back neck was wide open. This is too easy, the Assassin thought, I could snipe that guy with no problem.

Tilting his trusty weapon just a degree or two down, he fired a single shot, slaying the Bodyguard instantly. The poor guardian never even suspected there was someone watching until he died, a single bullet piercing his neck in just the right place, splitting his spine.

The Mafioso walked in with no obstruction, and they found the Sheriff and the Bodyguard, two heroes of the Town, dead the next morning.

Attack: Powerful '''Oh. This is unnecessary; change it to Basic.'''

Defense: None

Unique Role: Yes

Priority: (Optional) I don't know what Priority is, but I this guy is pretty high, I think '''​​​​​​​Priority is the order in which actions will occur throughout the night. For example, the priority of a Transporter's transport is 1, the priority of an Escort/Consort's roleblock is 4, and the priority of /most/ killers is 5. You can find out more about that here. Because the priority of a Bodyguard is 3, I think this should have the same priority of an Ambusher, which is 1.'''

Abilities: Stalk someone, and if they are visited by a TP or Lookout that night, you will attack them '''So...an Ambusher but better? '''

Attributes: You can only stalk two times. '''Whoa. That's too UP. Change it to 3 times.'''

Mechanics: (How It Works)

You stalk someone

Bodyguard try guard them

You kill Bodyguard, guard fail, Mafia kill with no problems Brilliant.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Sus

Investigator: Vig/Vet/Maf/Assassin '''2-3-1-0. I'd change this.'''

Consigliere/Witch: Your target stalks and murders silently to clear the way for the Mafia. They must be the Assassin! A bit long but that's okay

Goal: Mafia

Wins With: Mafia

Must Kill: Not Mafia

Anything Else: Nothing

Purpose/Reason: (Optional) While not mandatory by any means, it is a big help to show the reason of the role's creation.

This may be too OP, but it should help counter the Jailor meta since it kills Bodyguards and Lookouts, and it also basically gives the Mafia the ability to bypass protection, only twice, though

I have a couple questions.

If multiple TPs/LOs visit the same target, will the Assassin attack all of them, or just one?

Will the Assassin prioritize LOs over TPs?

What is a Potion Master is healing a target? Will the Assassin attack the Potion Master?

The thing about the Mafia is that it's supposed to be about deduction and deception, unlike the Coven, which is basically a killing machine. This is a good role idea, but I feel like it would be better suited for Coven, not Mafia.

Overall, this just feels like an Ambusher rework. It's a good rework (and Ambusher really needs one), but it's a good rework.

Good job! Is this your first role idea? It's not bad!
