Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-40246208-20190908212126

Name: Magician / trickster / another name that would fit more in that time period

Alignment: Town investigative

Unique: yes

Summary: You are a magician that uses his dissapearing act and leaves a decoy in its trail

Mechanics: You have 2 uses of your ability. You may only use it on yourself. There are 2 ways I can perceive this would work

a) You get basic defense when you use this ability. If you are attacked, there will be no message displayed to your attacker (as if a doctor healed them). You will receive pretty much a spy's bug on yourself

b) You get basic defense when you use this ability. If you are attacked, there will be no message displayed to your attacker (as if a doctor healed them). You will receive the roles of the people that visited you.

Whenever you use your ability, for the night, your investigative results are as follows

Sheriff: you could find no evidence of wrongdoing. Your target seems innocent

Investigator: Your target is either a jester, framer, or vampire

Consigliere: (Depending on what you guys think)

a) Your target is a jester

b) No results shown / The decoy fell apart on you as you checked it out!

If you don't use your ability, the sheriff results remain the same. but

Investigator: Your target is either a investigator, consigliere, mayor, or magician

Consigliere: Your target is skilled in the art of trickery. They must be a magician

If you gett attacked by a killer with an attack higher than basic, then the decoy is destroyed for all. You will die. You will get a special death message for these characters

Werewolf: The werewolf destroyed your decoy and then found you.

Arsonist: The arsonist's raging fire destroyed your decoy and killed you

Pestilence: The pestilence obliterated everything in its path including your decoy. The plague allowed it to find you.

etc for any other ones with higher than basic attack

Tell me what you think or whether or not I should just scrap this idea. It sounded good in my head at first.
