Board Thread:Role Ideas (Rework)/@comment-70.133.176.206-20170521044954

Even though the Retributionist role is a powerful one, I feel as though their role becomes almost pointless after they have brought someone back to life.

Yes, they are a town vote and they are considered to be a unique, distinctive Random Town role, but I feel like there can be more to the role.

I understand that it is similar to the Executioner in a way. After an Executioner gets their target lynched, they remain Executioner for the rest of the game with no real objective, similar to a Retributionist. However, as an Executioner, you automatically win the game after lynching your target and you are able to become a vote for any party (Mafia, Town, etc.); they also remain immune at night. The Retributionist only wins after all non townies die, and the Retributionist is not immune at night. After they've resurected someone, their role is practically useless in the sense that they cannot help town during the Night.

I think it would be a great idea for a Retributionist to become Medium after they have successfully brought someone back to life. Becoming a Medium after resurrecting someone sticks with the characteristics of a Retributionists since both roles rely on people dying and staying in the game after they've died.

Basically, I feel as though the Retributionist role should have something more to do in the game. That is my opinion on that, though.

Thanks for reading!
