This really doesn't help Town that much. An extended discussion phase does not equate to the death of someone from Town Support. Since you can still talk in Voting phase, it really isn't that big a deal. I understand that you can get 2 lynches in a day and you only sacrifice one Town member for it, but it then makes it extremely powerful, with the ability to rid the Mafia of half of its members. The role is extremely unpredictable - it can be really powerful, or really harmful - for only its day ability. Its night ability harms Town more than it harms scum. Town has more PRs than scum, so Town will be burdened more than Mafia. Sure, this might buy time, but ultimately, it kills a town member anyway, so scum's job is done for them without risk of being killed by TPrs.

This role could not function as an NE, as it dies in the process, killing its NE wincon of "Live to see the town lose", or whatever. It could not function as a member of the Mafia, as it dies in the process. This greatly harms Mafia, as they are a member down, and Town has an opportunity to lynch them. The role is too swingy and we are unable to balance it without testing it.
