Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-38593192-20200213132837/@comment-32881402-20200215223752

so yeah it's very overpowered

some general rules to follow when making roles:

1. avoid giving mafia and extra kills per night (this is problematic because it disrupts avg KPN and can potentially eliminate the most important town members (TP and Ti) which are necessary for town to win, in 1 night, making the game less skillful)

2. avoid roles which are based on someone else visiting someone (there are exceptions where this has been done well, but these roles tend to be very inconsistent and luck-based which is what the game should be steering clear of)

but the idea of getting stronger as the game goes on is a cool mechanic, since it promotes strategic play to live longer, just maybe not done in the best way here
