Burglar

Summary: A professional robber who excels at stealing documents.

Abilities: Choose a person and gain a copy of their will at night.

- o -

Investigation Results: ''Your target sticks to the shadows, they could be a Lookout, Forger, Amnesiac or Burglar. ''("Knows your darkest secrets" might've been more accurate, but you will fail the spytest and end up being executed by the jailor, and no fun in no counterplay)

Why?

- Well, having a single investigator who pinpoints everyone's exact role can get kind of boring.

- Can be stronger than Consig in some ways, and weaker in others. Say, burgling an Investigator N4 will give you 3 investigations. Or burgling a doctor can help you see who they've been targeting lately etc. But burgling an NK who keeps a fake will can be a setback, or burgling the jest with the will 'I liek waffulz'... you get the idea.

If you find this overpowered here are some adjustments:

-The target will know that they've been burgled. While people can erase their wills entirely to completely render the role useless, as all night abilities this one takes effects at the end of the night: That means you'll have to keep your will empty until the end of the night and risk your information get buried alongside you. So it doesn't completely ruin the role and lets town decide.

-Limited amount of uses.

-Change investigative results. (That'll completely wreck the role imo, but I'll let you guys decide)

I'm relatively new to the game. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
