Alignment: Town (Support) should go in the role ideas (Town) board

Attack: None (Basic, if you refer to mechanics.)

Defense: None

Priority: 2

Unique Role: Yes

Abilities: Reveal as a Dictator. Also refer to mechanics. So like mayor?

Attributes: You can listen to whispers. Seems a bit random

Mechanics: Every lynch, you can kill one person who voted the other decision as you. For example, Wooloo gets voted up, being accused of being Coven. 7 people vote guilty (including you), 3 people vote innocent and 1 person abstains. You can choose to kill one of the 3 innocent voters, and vice versa if you vote innocent but the target gets lynched. Abstains do nothing. The attack does not count as a visit in the eyes of the Lookout. The target will appear to be executed by the Jailor.. Targets in jail cannot be executed by the Dictator. Shouldn’t it be Town Killing 

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: The target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Bodyguard, Godfather, Arsonist, Crusader or Dictator.

Consigliere/Witch: The target seems to believe they're better than anyone else. They must be a Dictator.

Goal: Lynch all evildoers.

Wins With: Town, Survivors.

Must Kill: everyone else

First role, please don't kill me.  let’s get vert  First of all, it should definitely be Town Killing, second, I agree with Alfie, it should commit suicide or at least lose its ability after killing a townie. Now onto the review.

Town Killing is a hard Alignment to make roles in as a lot of suggestions I see are often too similar to vigilante, and same goes for this. It is basically another vig with less people to shoot.

I would suggest making it do something other than kill its target, such as Investigating them in a way, or doing something the next day. However I don’t see this concept becoming interesting no matter how you put it, since whatever you make it do. It would just be a rehash of a role, but with limited possible targets. Good luck with making further roles.
