Former Town (Mafia Deception)

that name is pretty lame, it doesnt describe a specific person or occupation >_>

Attack: None

looking good

Defence: Basic

hell to the   n o

Abilities: Disguise as a town member.

n o p e

Attributes: Your Former role was. You get to perform all of the same abilities your former role has (ex. if your former role as sheriff, you get to interrogate people each night).

OP

Investigation Results: Investigator: Doctor, Disguiser, Former Town, or Serial Killer.

2-2-0-0

which is pretty ehhhhh

Sheriff: Your target is the member of the mafia!

finally something that doesnt nerf sheriff

Consigliere/Witch: Your target used to be town. They must be a Former Town!

extremely boring - pls change

Mechanics: While your former role can still perform the same abilities, there are some flaws that can expose your role. If you are a Vigilante, you have an infinite amount of bullets, and you won't commit suicide. While you are Mayor, there can be another mayor in-game that reveals the day you reveal. If you are Jailor you have an infinite amount of executions. If you are a doctor you can heal yourself 3 times instead of 2. If you are Veteran you get infinite... you get the idea.

that makes it a little less op but this is still a   v e r y    powerful role

You can get unique town roles as your former role.

Summary: You used to be a former town that now works for the mafia.

borrrrring Main points:

-Name really isn't great should be changed along with some of the invest results imo

--Quite OP. this role can do pretty much anything that a town role can do, and possibly multiple abilities at once. Sure, mafia does need some help, but this role is just too good

--In my opinion, making a role that takes abilities from townies just isn't good. It's pretty much just rehashing what's alrady been done for town roles and is very confusing for new players

+It is something new, at least. You can expand on this or make another similar role, though it would have to undergo many changes.

I'd give it a: yeah lets not/10 IGN

Remember that even some of the best role ideas don't get into the game for the simple reason of it just being extremely difficult to get your role into the game. Just don't be discouraged if some of your ideas aren't received too well :)
