Yes I&#039;m single wrote: This is an idea I made long ago with a few tweaks:

Patroller (Town investigative) Could be a sheriff replacement

Abilities: Visit one person each night to see what roles visit them. '''Huh. So instead of Lookout (which sees users), its one that sees roles.'''

Mechanics/attributes (don't know difference lol, someone explain that to me pls) same man

I mean it's pretty simple. That's it. But here's some more info:

You are not unique

You will see failed attempts (remove this?)

I think remove this, cuz it doesn't make sense.

You will die to vet/ ww as normal.

You will not see yourself but can see other patrollers

You will see self visits (like doc or surv) (remove this?)

'''So would it say something like "Your target healed themselves!" Or like the message below? '''

You cannot see framers or werewolves but you can see arsonists. '''Arsonist just got a buff. I think we can leave it alone for a while. However, I like the framer and WW incorporation. '''

Messages:

Your target was overseen by a surgeon last night. A doctor visited them

Your target was protected last night. a bodyguard visited them

Your target has a window frame chucked at their ass. A framer visited them.

'''I've read this five times now, and it still makes me laugh. However, shouldn't this be countered since as you said, this was supposed to be a Sheriff replacement? Framer's right now... honestly, still no one bothers with it.'''

Your target got a spell casted on them. a witch visited them.

'''I'm pretty sure Witches don't visit their targets. Only Veterans are affected.'''

Not sure what the message for self visit should be, but yeah there are some examples

Immunities: None

Invest results:

sheriff: ns

invest: Your target sticks to the shadows. They could be a Lookout, Forger, Amnesiac, or Patroller.

'''I like it. Doesn't seem to unbalanced.'''

consig: your target is a patroller

Maybe like, "Your target watches events unravel under his eye. They must be a Patroller!"

goal: town's

win condition; town's

I'll let the goal, win condition slide, but make something creative for the Invest, Consig and Goal.

Before you bitch "this is too similar to a lookout", remember that it is bascially sheriff and invest. It had different mechanics and a different strategy.

'''That's true. Now the question is, how would the Lookout and Patroller finding each other affect gameplay? Sort of like the Invest + Sheriff strategy.'''
