Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-31919347-20180909120540

This role is from my 13 role ideas in 1 post, but with balance changes, new name and fixed abilities and attributes with 1 buff (if a member of the mafia receives an invest result, they know the target)

Name: Magician

Alignment:

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique: No

Priority: (Optional): 2

Abilities:

Each night you can swap two people, you can also target Mafia.

Abilties:

Swapping people swaps all night results they would receive.

If a member of the Mafia receives an investigation, they will know who was the original target.

If there are no other killing-capable Mafia Killing, you will become a Mafioso.

You can talk with the other Mafia at night.

Mechanics: (How It Works): Every night you select 2 ppl. All messages they would receive are swapped. However sometimes you would know something is wrong, like a Doctor is getting Sheriff results sent to them! If one of the targets was in jail nothing happens.

-Investigative Results-


 * Your target is a member of the Mafia!


 * Your target is Escort, Consort, Transporter or Magician! (or Hypnotist!)

/: Your target uses tricks to confuse townsfolk. They must be a Driver!

Goal: Kill anyone who doesn't submit to Mafia.

Wins with: Mafia+Survivor+Witch+Guardian Angel+Pirate

Must kill:

Town+Vampires+Coven+Plaguebearer/Pestilence+Arsonist+Serial Killer+Werewolf+Juggernaut

Strategy: You could just cause confusion, but you could also use it for investigating purposes! If you suspect someone is Inv, you could swap the Inv and the GF! The GF would get the result and could confirm it rlly was Invest, and the GF would know somebody with that result was ingame.

Msges:

'You have decided to drive Deodat Lawson tonight!' 'One of your targets was in jail so nothing happened.'

Example game:

N1: You decide to pick the Sheriff and the Transporter. Currently the Sheriff picks the Forger and the Escort picks the Transporter. The Sheriff normally would receive the msg that their target was a member of the Mafia, but now the Transporter gets a msg that their target is a member of the Mafia. Currently, the Sheriff receives the msg that they were roleblocked but immune. In this situation the Magician wasn't very usefull, but it still causes chaos.

N2: You decide to pick the Forger and the Investigator. The Investigator investigates the Escort, while the Escort roleblocks the Forger. The Investigator would get a msg they were roleblocked, while the Forger receives the Investigation result of the Escort. Now the Investigator thinks he was roleblocked, while the Forger actually was, and the Forger can fake claim Investigator now! So this role is a support role that also causes confusion to the town.
