Game Information/Background: (optional) A journalist whose favorite thing to read is wills. Attack: None Defense: None Unique Role: No Priority: (Optional) 3 Abilities: Attributes: Mechanics: (How It Works) The Journalist can choose a player and read their wills 3 times. Once you do that, a button will appear on the top of the screen that looks similar to the Last Will button, but with a number one it (example: the 1st will you read will have a number 1 on it, the 2nd one will have a number 2 on it, and 3rd one will have a number 3 on it. When you click on those buttons, you can read their will again. If they have edited the will, their will will be updated. -Investigative Results-
 * Choose a person and read their before they die at night.
 * Your target will not know their was read by you.
 * You can re-read your target's at any time.
 * Your target's will be updated whenever they edit them.
 * You can only get from 3 targets.
 * You can talk with the other at night.

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia! Investigator: Your target could be a, , , , or Journalist. Consigliere/Witch: Your target likes to read. They must be a Journalist. Goal: Kill everyone who doesn't submit to. Wins With: ,, , , , , ,.

Must Kill: ,, , /, , , , . Anything Else: I can't quite tell if this role is overpowered or underpowered... the overpowered fact is that it can just gather multiple information each night, but the underpowered fact is that it can only read 3 different player's wills, and if they die the night the Journalist read their will, the Journalist would just become useless and wait until the dies to become useful again.

use tabs please x_x this role is UP, ti's are the only town roles that would have any valueable information for Mafia are ti's, any others would just kinda be useless.

Add the fact that this role could do absolutely nothing for mafia if it gets bad luck, and does only fine if gets amazing luck, one of the reasons disguiser is so bad is because at its best it confuses town and at its worst it does absolutely nothing but take up one of mafias rm slots.

good try, and I hope you make roles in the future, but this role personally doesn't work for me.
