Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-36558623-20180815190751/@comment-28092296-20180822120057

I counter your argument—Sheriff is the closest thing to a Consigliere for the town. Most people listen to Sheriff claims and hang who the sheriff accuses anyways. While framers/[hex masters] can fool the Sheriff, Werewolves and Serial Killers have no protection from being found by a Sheriff. Additionally, Arsonists/[hex masters] can fool Consiglieres, so it balances everything out.

Many evil roles claim Sheriff, yes, but evil roles claim Sheriff and never accuse somebody. Legitimate Sheriffs will visit suspicious people and call out if they are actually Mafia or not.

Even if you do find Sheriff underpowered, you can't really balance out the Sheriff by applying a random buff to it—at least, explain how making Sheriff immune to the alarm clock system thingy would be a necessary buff that gives Sheriff an edge over other TI roles, or really, why Sheriff would need this buff while nobody else (like Jailor or Lookout) does.

also lookout doesn't double as a tp role their targets still die
