Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-28092296-20190831143330

You are an inspector with access to government documents

Huntsman - Town (Investigative)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Abilities:

- At the beginning of the night phase, you may decide to read documents about a faction (Mafia, Coven, NKs, Pb/Pest or Vamp). At the end of the night phase, you will be given a hint as to who may be in that faction

Attributes:

- You cannot track the same faction/role twice in a row.

Hints Mechanic:


 * At the end of every night, the Huntsman will be given a hint about which player is in the faction.


 * For example, if John Hathorne was the Mafioso, then the game would give hints like “You are getting a hint about the Mafioso! Your hint is: Giles Corey is not your target’s neighbor” or “You are getting a hint about the Mafioso! Your hint is: Your target didn’t say anything yesterday”


 * (A full list of the hints is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SZLlPHfWQQEJG_CMEBVQd8OEsY2eqruDa1cSxiO-2oM/edit)


 * (To anybody who has concerns about this role’s ability being unbalanced, I have a document listing things such how the game chooses who the Huntsman gets hints on, and so forth. It’s a confusing document, so read at your own discretion: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CBVQkL64mX9yQ5Q_SXBsoZcriLqofO5Z-RSIPUw2x9A/edit)

Goal: (Town Winning Conditions)

Investigative Results:

Investigator: Your target could be an Investigator, Consigliere, Mayor, Tracker, Plaguebearer or Huntsman

Sheriff: Your target is innocent

Reveal: Your target uses government documents to hunt their enemies. The must be a Huntsman.

Already Known Problems: (I know these problems exist already, so don’t comment about these problems existing in my role unless you have a suggestion to change it or provide some kind of insight)
 * There’s RNG in this role. The point of the RNG aspect was to prevent people from targeting ‘valuable roles’ (players would target roles like Consigliere, Plaguebearer and Arsonist first), however the fact that RNG is needed to balance this role is a problem
 * This role takes a long time to explain to new players.
 * The hints are not balanced. Please give suggestions for new hints!!!
