Same.

The reason I reject this role as an NK is it has nowhere near as much killing power as the other two do. In fact, this role can only kill 1 member of the town. One of the biggest reasons that town usually only survivors in order for 3 or 4 days is because their are 2 killing roles (NK and mafia) that are systematically destroying the town. With this role, there's only 1, and that's a massive indirect buff to the town, who don't need buffs.

Yes killing power is quite below the potential of other NK's. I think I may change the storyline and balance it out to weaken the Town more, without being too crazy, after all, it is still a neutral role and does not usually side with Mafia.

Let me also say that when people usually ask "why do we need this role" or "what is this role's purpose" they're generally asking what the role will do in the game. I should've paraphrased this better in my earlier comment, but if someone was asking that about the Serial Killer, it'd be a response of: "A neutral role designed to cause chaos", or if they were describing a mayor, it'd be a "powerful role that makes themselves a target".

Anyway, I can't wait to see any more of your ideas, which I'm sure will get progressively better as you become a seasoned role maker on the wiki. '''Much appreciated. Despite all the words being thrown around, I actually am learning a LOT.'''
