Alignment: Mafia (Deception)

Unique Role: Yes

Attack: None

Defense: None

Description: You are a crooked bankteller who is employed by the Mafia.

Abilities: Each night, you may visit a Mafia member, or a person that is not a Mafia member. You will bribe anyone who Investigates your target.

You can only visit members of the Mafia 3 times.

If you visit a Mafia member, you will change their investigative results to the following:

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target could be a Survivor, Vampire Hunter, or Amnesiac.

If you visit someone who is not a member of the Mafia, you will change their Investigative results to the following:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target could be a Briber, Vampire, or Jester.

The person investigating your target will NOT know they were bribed.

The Framer has always been a role that does (90% of the time) more harm than good. The Briber seeks to change this. Being able to hide your fellow Mafia members helps eliminate the biggest obstacle the vanilla Framer has: a Spy. Unless they're communicating with an Investigative role, they won't know if the person you are visiting is a Mafia member or not.

On the flip side, protecting your fellow Mafia from the prying eyes of the Sheriff and the Investigators can be a huge boon, particularly with roles like the Disguiser, who can disguise their visits as a Vampire Hunter trying to find Vampires.

The role does have some weaknesses, though. The Spy, while not nearly as much of a threat to Briber as it is to the vanilla Framer, can still see through the Briber's tricks if they are being aided by a Sheriff or Investigator. The Briber also suffers the same weaknesses other visiting roles do, such as being killed by a Serial Killer if they visit one.

This is the first role I've made, so any and all feedback is welcome! This is pointless to investigator in Ranked, consider amnes/surv/vampirehunter result doesn't exist in ranked.

This also only counters two roles, similar to I was considering changing what Roles can show up, depending on the mode you're playing, but I didn't know if complex mechanics like that were allowed.
