Alignment: Town (Killing)

Attack: Basic

Defense: None

Unique Role: Yes

Abilities: Smite one person in the night time

Attributes: You have one smite. When you smite a role, if it is evil, you gain back your smite. If not, you lose your smite permanently. Vampires cannot convert you, but you will not attack a vampire who tries. You cannot be revived. Attacking someone with temporary protection wastes your smite.

Mechanics: While being similar to the vigilante, the main difference is in their kill. If a vigilante is revived, they come back with bullets. You cannot be revived. Your ability to constantly kill as long as you attack evils is very useful, more so than the vigilante. However: if you miss once, or if your target is healed, jailed, or vested, you are now only an extra vote.

Investigative Results:

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious

Investigator: Your target is a Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf, Poisoner, or Paladin

Consigliere/Witch: Your target is divinely sanctioned to eradicate evil. They must be a Paladin!

Goal: Same as town

Must kill: same as town

Wins with: same as town Hm...

Pros:

- not too powerful

- can't go through any type of defense

- requires caution

Cons:

- can't be revived. I understand why you made that decision, but maybe make it just an extra vote for town

- invest result isn't great

- apparently from a different game???

I don't have any real issues with this role. Go bananas. I looked up if it's from Throne Of Lies, and it's not.

I agree, it should be alowed to be revived.

As for everyone saying its up (and a nerfed vig), here's a reply I made on discord: ''I thought it was a nerf and up at first as well, but over time I figured that if you were careful enough you could technically take out all the evils with no defense. Vig can attack a townie and die, or it can kill 3 evils. Paladin could kill a townie and not die, or he could kill 1 - all of the evils. If you run the math, paladin is actually more powerful than vigi. As for its similarities to vig, yeah, it's it is close, but that's because vig is the most basic tk, and every other tk is similar too it in some way. Other than that, there are so many roles in the game, some already so similar too each other that it's basically impossible to make a good, original role, but I think this comes pretty close to it.''
