Name: Threatener (Name could be improved upon)

Alignment: Mafia Support (Could be Mafia Killing) there shouldn’t be another mk

Attack/Defense: None/None

Unique Role: No

Priority: 3 (I suppose? Not really sure what the optimal priority would be so I'll go with the same as BMer) priority doesn’t really matter for most roles.

Abilities: Send an anonymous death threat to someone each night, this player will get an extra vote against them the next day. Ok..

Attributes: If there are no kill-capable Mafia roles left you will become a Mafioso. You can talk with the other Mafia at night.

Investigative results:

Sheriff: Your target is suspicious.

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

Consigliere/Witch: Your target spends their nights threatening others. They must be a Threatener.

Goal: Kill anyone that will not submit to the Mafia.

Wins with: Mafia, Survivor, Witch

Must kill: Town, Vampires, Arsonist, Serial Killer, Werewolf, Coven, Plaguebearer, Pestilence, Juggernaut Nice and simple, which is great! What everyone above is saying is that it instantly confirms it exists, but.. of course it does, so does bmer, but there’s no way of finding who it is.

That aside, it may be negative utility, since anyone can claims bmed, no one can claim threatened, so therefore anyone who is threatened is obviously not mafia, so it instantly confirms someone everyday, especially if nk is dead. It’s only other option is to barely ever use it, only for giving mafia an early majority, but it’s useless in helping the mafia get to that point.

So it’s more useless than disguiser in most cases. UP. So my suggestion is to make its targets less confirmable, but even then, it’s ability is only useful in the endgame.
