Oh, so it's a worse SK. My apologies for misunderstanding the role, I guess I was in a rush.

SK controls completely who it kills and when. It kills hi it wants every night. Your role, however, only lets you kill who you want once every other night. Your bat does fix the KPN issue, but then what? What if your target isn't a PR? What if your target doesn't want to visit? What if, the next day, someone is close to finding you out and you can't kill them? These are final question is the largest issue which most creators encounter when making NKs. Most new mechanics for NK don't have a steady 1KPN every night, since that's just copying SK. So, they use unusual delays, and new mechanics which generally go as far as that issue. The thing with Arsonist is that it has superiority over every NK in terms of deceptive abilities. It isn't seen by Sheriff, the town won't know of its existence until around day 3, when nobody has been killed by NK, debateably easier claims, etc., so its lack of instant killing is more or less balanced out. Think of a way to get past the "What do I do not Person X suspects me and I can't kill", then it could be a great role!
