Summary: You are a burglar who takes people hostage.

Attack: Powerful usually an MK shouldnt have a powerful attack

Defense: None

Abilities:

- Kidnap someone each night. Ok

- Execute a hostage each night. Oh, no

Attributes:

- Executing a hostage would replace the factional mafia kill. So then this is just an NK hardcounter

- You have 2 executions. Ok

- You may not kidnap and execute at the same time. You may not kidnap the night after you execute. What?

Mechanics:

- Kidnapping someone will make them your hostage. They will not know this. Doesn’t really make any sense but ok

- The night after you kidnap someone, a "jail" scene will be simulated. The hostage would see the typical jailed messages and you would show up as Jailor to them. Once you have finished your interrogation, the hostage will be released and you may choose a new target the next night. Feels kinda OP with the power to kill

- If you are jailed the night you are supposed to interrogate your hostage, the interrogation would be forfeited and the target released. Ok

- You WILL roleblock your target when you interview them, but you will NOT prevent any visits OR give your target defense. Ok but why

- If you choose to execute your hostage, you may change the form of kill. The default would be "Killed by a Kidnapper". So med can just rat you out

Investigation Results:

- Sheriff: Your target seems innocent.

- Investigator: Your target could be a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Guardian Angel, or Kidnapper.

- Consigliere: Your target is a master of torture. They must be the Kidnapper! Tbh this role would be way better if it was an MD and not an MK the ability to kill is kinda OP since you already have the ability to get someones role

Also what about SK / WW on a full moon kidnapped It replaces the factional mafia kill.

Also oh yeah its the same as jailor, if you execute them, you don't get attacked, but if you don't, you do.

About the medium thing, of course, if you suspect there's a medium in the game, you would choose jailor, but if you don't think there's a medium in the game, you can make it look like a vigilante or something shot your hostage, and you can confirm a member of the mafia claiming vigilante or something idk.
