Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-37896447-20181223140536/@comment-23865306-20190130191147



Name: Puppet Master  | sure why not

Alignment: Mafia Support | okay sure we need more mafia roles.

Attack:None | I would be really shocked if it did.

Defense:None

Unique Role: Yes  | Oooh.

Abilities: You may turn someone into a puppet. Puppets will either use their ability on a person that you wish, or you can use them as a meat shield by making them visit you. '''| So Witch that can give you defense. Right.'''

Attributes: Detection immunity, roleblocking immunity. ''' | Uhh... Detection immunity? That should be reserved to the Godfather and the Godfather only. Roleblock immunity I understand but I do not agree with detection immunity.'''

Mechanics: You may only have one puppet at a time, and they can only be townies.''' | So you can't use NKs or NCs or Covens. Great. |''' If the puppet visits yourself, and you get attacked, they will instead attack the puppet. ''' | Now this is pretty OP giving yourself defense at night. I don't agree with that notion. Also, do the puppets do their night ability if you meatshield them? | '''Your puppets will then turn back into normal townies at the end of the night.  | That's the least you could do.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious. | Should be.

Investigator: Your target could be a Transporter, a Witch or a Puppet Master. ''' | Excuse me what? What are you doing mending the Invest results? Unless you give an Invest result rework, then don't do this.'''

Consigliere/Witch: Your target turns people into puppets. They must be a Puppet Master. | Fine

Goal: Kill anyone who doesn't submit to the Mafia.  

Wins With: Witch, Survivor, Mafia.

Must Kill: Town, Vampires, Arsonist, Serial killer, Werewolf, Coven, Plaguebearer, Pestilence, Juggernaut

Anything Else: No. I don't like this role at all. We don't need a Mafia Witch because there already is a Mafia Witch, and the meatshield aspect of the role is utterly broken. I don't know how to criticize this role because I don't know how it can be salvaged with this concept. Maybe if you took my Hypnotist idea (chooses someone at night - they will be roleblocked the next night and you get to perform their ability instead) would be more ideal for this kind of role. The least you could do to fix this role is to limit its charges.
