Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-44917313-20200123202146/@comment-27575896-20200123204414

For future reference, please take a quick look at the Making New Roles page for recommendations on creating new roles.

A Neutral Killing role has the ability to kill nearly or about every night. Each Neutral Killing role is entirely neutral and is only aligned to themselves. So, the main issue with this role is that it switches to any faction if it chooses to when all Doctor’s are dead. The problem with that is it’s a huge and massive buff to the faction he chooses simply by giving them another member. That helps vote majority, and then he has his own abilities to play into effect. This ultimately destroys the other side or the enemies of the faction you choose and limits them entirely from being able to win the game with their own standards, because now suddenly there’s another evil or Town to look out for that will hinder them even more.

Neutral Killing roles should never change their role or alignment no matter what. That type of stuff is left for Neutral Chaos roles and sometimes Neutral Benign, because a sudden faction change does indeed cause a lot of chaos to everyone else.

The other main issue with this is that it is a direct hardcounter to Doctors and mist kill each one in order for their ability to work, or they lose. The Doctor is a role that is generally hard to confirm, hard to trust, and is balanced on its own because it only simply saves one target from death. It’s vulnerable to everything else and isn’t exactly a role you’d trust upon hearing it be claimed, no? Especially when nobody has been healed and/or some slots are taken up by other Town Protectives.

There is just very little reason to have this role, and I don’t see it becoming a huge wannabe role people would want to play. You kill all Doctors, then change your entire role and help out another faction as the given role. And it’s pretty rare to get more than one Doctor in a game, so you’d pretty much have nothing happen other than you being a different role for a few nights, then spend the rest of the game as the role of the faction you chose.
