This name is SOOOO very much like Investigator+Sheriff, I suggest a new name

Alignment: Town (Investigative)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique Role: No

Priority: 6

Abilities: You can check a dead player at night up to 3 times and have it narrowed down to 4 people to see who killed them

If your target was killed by 2 different people your ability will fail and not be used

If your target was incinerated by an arsonist your ability will fail and not be used

If your targets killer is dead your ability will fail and not be used

For the above 3 lines, it will instead say something like this I think "There were no clues as to who killed {insert name}" Something like that you know

Attributes: None

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious

Investigator: Invest/Consig/Mayor/Tracker/Plaguebearer/Detective

Consig/Witch: Your target investigates dead bodies. They must be a detective!

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.

Wins with: Town/Pirate/Survivor/Guardian Angel

Must Kill: Mafia/Coven/Neutral Killing/Vampires/Plaguebearer

A future tip for future suggestions, just put "Same as Town" if they are town ETC. Anyway... lets pick this one apart, first lets go over the details first, instead of issues this could cause. Also The name could be changed if you feel like it is too close to Invest/Sheriff kinda mix, but Idk. You could call it a Coronor or something along those lines.

First, for the Consig/Witch results, saying they Investigate someone is very similar to Investigator, that could be tweaked a bit. You can put Same as Town for Win Conditions/Goal Etc. Your ability description is a little off, are you saying that you can use this ability 3 times or use it on a specific perosn 3 times to narrow it down to 4 possible killers? Suggest tweaking that.

Alright now to gameplay issues, if it can narrow it down to 4 people that are possible killers this could be a little powerful considering if someone on that list dies you can easily narrow it down... I suggest that either 5 people or the ability has only 3 uses, which may be what you mean, Description is just a little confusing. I imagine that the results would be completely random, however probably the Jailor/Mayor will not show up on those results, same as they cant be the Executioners Target. Overall I dont see any major problems with this, except that it could appear to some/most people as a Psy/Sheriff mix/rehash. Great Idea though!

I think this is a great idea though, and it certainly can help Town and is something we dont see often, which is interacting witht the dead, which only Ret, Med, and Necro get. Good Idea and Description, not too OP or UP in my opinion, but we will see what more experianced Editors say
