NAME

Scientist

Summary

A wandering alchemist looking to study everything.

Win Condition - 

 Lynch all evildoers

Alignment - 

Town Support

Attack -

None

Defense -

None

Unique -

No

Attributes -

Mechanics -

At night, choose someone to take a sample of.

If they have any odd traces on them, you will study it.

After you studying something, you know everyone who has that trace.

DIfferent traces may have different effects. Oh no..

The traces are:

Hexed - You can see everyone who is hexed now. The HexMaster will never be hexed. Oh ok

Cleaned - You can now see past cleaning. Do/can you study dead bodies?

Doused - You can see everyone who is doused. The arsonist is always doused.

Hypnotized - You ignore hypnotizations. Probably not, as hypnotising only happens at the end of the night and makes no other impact

Poisoned - You can cure poison to people you visit. No

Blackmailed - You can tell if someone is blackmailed.

Forged - You see their real will.

Framed - You see if someone is framed.

Add roleblocked

After getting one of these to study, you know more about it. If you are effected by one of these, you will not get effected but will lose the study. Works, but maybe instead, you can just have one study at a time, that way there’s more strategy and you don’t get infoverloaded.

This is meant to be a prime Mafia claim, as you can tell what is happening and prevent it but the Mafia also know what happens. '''Yup, works. However that should never be the main reason for a role.'''

It is slightly harder for Coven because it cures poison.

-Investigate Results-

Sheriff - 

Innocent

Investigator -

Your target knows your deepest secrets. (Spy/Blackmailer/Jailor/Scientist)

Precise - 

Your target studies what they don't know. They must be the Scientist!

-Achievements-

I’d suggest simplifying its ability to one thing: if it finds someone with an effect, it sees everyone else who has/gets that effect.

Other attributes I’d suggest:
 * can only have one study at a time, which makes you see who has/gets (maybe just gets) an effect and makes you immune to it.
 * can target dead and alive players
