Knoify wrote: Roll: Detective

Alignment: Town Investigative

Summary: A member of the law enforcement agency whose job is to collect information

Goal: Lynch all criminals and evil-doers

Wins With: Town, Survivors

Abilities:

-Choose one person at night to see if they are doing any suspicious activity

'''Hmmm... alright, I'm ready'''

Attributes:

-Choose someone at night to visit and see if they stay at home or not

Okay, it's a good idea, I guess, but it does seem underpowered

-Certain messages will pop up such as:

-Your target chose to stay home tonight!

-Your target chose to leave their house tonight!

-Your target cannot leave their house at night!

The messages will pop up for certain roles:

Your target chose to stay home tonight! (If they choose to stay home)

NK               TI                      TS              TP                       TK                     Other

-Arsonist    -Investigator      -Escort          -Doctor             -Vigilante             -All mafia except GF

-Serial Killer  -Lookout                             -Bodyguard        -Vampire Hunter   -Witch

-Werewolf     -Sheriff

'''Is this supposed to be a table? Because it's very disorganized, please edit it.'''

Your target chose to leave their house tonight! (If they choose to leave their house)

All roles from above

Your target cannot leave their house tonight! (If the role cannot visit)

NK                      TI            TS             TK           Other                Mafia

-Werewolf          -Spy        -Mayor         -Jailor       -Jester                -Godfather

(odd number days)           -Medim                          -Executioner

-Retributionist                -Survivor

-Transporter                     -Amnesiac

Same thing here

OTHER:

The Godfather cannot leave their home if there is a mafioso. If the mafioso is dead or roleblocked, it will say: "Your target chose to stay at home tonight!" or "Your target chose to leave their house tonight!" Depending if the Godfather attacks or not

'''Um, I don't think it should do that. You are watching your TARGET after all, not the Mafioso.

Investigator Results:

Your target sticks to the shadows. They must be Lookout, Forger, Amnesiac or Detective

Consigliere Results:

Your target watches for suspicious activity. They must be a Detective!

Is dis a good role or a bad one. Let me know  :D

I like the idea, but I feel like it's underpowered. I think this has actually been suggested before, with a different name, and as a replacement for the Sheriff.

I also feel like the name should be changed. It doesn't necessarily show the effect of what the role does, and I think it's also a synonym for Investigator.

I like the idea, in general though. Good job!

Also, NotWaffle, it's not a "Reverse Lookout" because it doesn't watch who they visit. Only if they leave home, or don't leave home.
