Board Thread:Role Ideas (Rework)/@comment-36558623-20180915044121

These are just some ideas I had that shut down before they were finished. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix them? I don't include details like investigator results, just the role at base value, and a general to see if there's a way to fix it.

Preacher - (NE) An advocate who changed people's belief. Makes townies become Followers (Neutral Benigns who can choose to become town after another person becomes a follower) Wins with Mafia and NK

Why I like this role - It gives an opportunity for townies to become neutral, and win with mafia if they think town will lose no matter what. If town is already winning, it blocks out a townies role for a few days at minimum.

What doesn't work - Vampire re-hash

Sailor - (TI) A navigator who watches where people go on his compass. Sees who, people first select at night. If John Proctor selects to navigate Sarah Bishop, and Sarah Bishop chooses to investigate John Proctor, but then changes her mind and instead investigates Edward Bishop, John Proctor would get the results, "Their target is Medium, Janitor, or Retributionist" Even though that's the result for Edward, not John.

Why I like this role - It makes town roles more decisive and promotes mafia to be more unpredictable

What doesn't work - A strategy forms where this role becomes useless in finding any mafia. Tracker re-hash.

Refiner - (TI) Someone who looks at dead bodies and finds observations and details. After someone dies, select them. The next day you'll be able to see their chat-log when you click on their name in the graveyard.

Why I like this role - It makes use of the chat-log, and it's a TI that utilizes the dead.

What doesn't work - I think it's a little UP.

Thanks for the feedback! And remember you don't need suggestions on all the roles, just the ones you have recommendations for. I support you to share roles that you think didn't quite make the cut, and  I will add here more and more about roles I don't exactly thing fit the bill just yet but have real potential.
