Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-36558623-20181016230526

Name: Tactician

Alignment: Mafia (Deception)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique Role: Yes

Priority: 4

Abilities: Plan every move the Town will take and counter it

Attributes: Mafia targets are immune from the town's forces at night.

Mechanics: (How It Works)

- Target a member of the mafia

- They gain detection immunity, their visit is not seen by a Spy or Lookout

- Investigators will get a result that the Tactician chooses at the beginning of the night from the role list (i.e if he selects a role, that role's investigation result will appear)

- If the Godfather and Mafioso die, the Tactician takes over as Mafia Killing. The Tactician does not gain defense, but does gain permanent detection immunity is unseen by visit Tactician may only kill after being converted, they are no longer able to protect another mafia from the Town.

- Targets are also control/roleblock immune.

- The Spy sees the Tactitian visit other mafia members.

- The Tactician may select themselves an infinite amount of times.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target is a Spy, Blackmailer, or Jailor

Consigliere/Witch: Your target has planned for any and all interferences with their plans, they must be a Tactician.

Goal: Kill all who do not submit to the Mafia.

Wins With: Mafia, NE, NB

Must Kill: All else

Anything Else:

Sheriff - Is nerfed enough, but its primary goal is to find mafia, so I didn't counter it too much

Investigator - Finally, mafia may claim outside of its investigation result without being immediately outed. Remember that Investigator finds Town just as much as it finds Mafia, it doesn't hurt them too much.

Lookout - A way to finally counter this busted role.

Spy - Not only is the "Cognito" Mafia member immune from spies all-seeing eyes (eliminating the n1 escort confirmity). But also, you aren't confirmed 'non-mafia' if you are visited, because the mafia can be visited by tactician. Spy needed a nerf, and this is it. Seeing Mafia visits is still very powerful.
