Board Thread:Role Ideas (Rework)/@comment-35167105-20180418033130

What if I told you that the medium and retributionist could be fixed in one swift rework. And what If I told you that the medium and retributionist could be fixed in the ' 'same' ' rework (yeah I pretty much just said the same think I know). Well I am just about to tell you how...

Ok, so first of all, I think that we need to go over what makes the medium so underpowered and what makes the retributionist so booooring. The main ability of the medium (talking to the dead), on the one hand, is ' 'extremely' ' situational. Usually, dead people either immediately leave (lesser so in ranked but still a problem) or don't have any valuable information to give. The only situation in which the medium is somewhat important is if there is a janitor in the game that has cleaned a target, but if you reveal as medium in a janitor game then you will likely be sleeping with the fishes, so even then medium isn't nearly as good as any other town role in the game. Retributionists, on the other hand, usually revive the first semi-important townie they see on the graveyard list and are essentially an extra vote for the rest of the game, making for an extremely boring round. And just because I said that the retributionist wasn't extremely underpowered doesn't mean that it's particularly strong; it could use a buff as well.

So anyways, here's my idea: why not ' ' 'combine the medium and the retributionist' ' ' into one fun, balanced role? It really is that simple. Since the medium has no abilities in which he is required to click on a target, the added ability to revive someone would fit seamlessely. In terms of a name for the medium-retributionist combination, I think that the medium name should be retained in this new role because it is shorter and more catchy than the retributionist (and has a shorter nickname as well).

However, there is one small change that I would maketo this medium-retributionist combo: eliminate the seance. The seance is A) rarely helpful, B) extremely annoying if a jailor or mafia member or vampire or coven member are seanced on top of the private conversation that they're already having and C) would give the medibutionist too many abilities.

So yeah, there you have it. Let me know what you guys think of this role rework and whether or not you would like to see it implemented into the game. Personally I don't think that the medibutionist a.k.a. medium is too OP but I am open to different opinions. Toodles.
