I'm not as convinced as some others.

I will admit, I like this role's concept, it's unique and its power is balanced.

I especially like the way it counters the more powerful random mafia such as Janitor and Consort with downsides like Abolishing an escort or visiting a person who will die making yourself look suspicious to a lookout.

I do have some problems though, the Consigliere is one of the most powerful RM and it is not countered whatsoever. Also, a dual-edged sword, this role does absolutely nothing against NK.

Last, but most major, issue, every role should be able to play the game. Every game there is 2 random mafia, for a total of 8 possible roles. 4 out of those 8 are not affected by the Abolisher, so that means that if there's a 50% chance to get a random mafia role actually affected by Abolisher, you must win the 75%, even if you do, there's a 50% chance out of the 75% that you are only countering one role and some town. It's a clear rule on this wiki you don't want to have roles that specifically target other roles like the dreaded Vampire Hunter.

With that, I rest my review, this is still an excellent idea for a role. It just faces some problems and could often be useless in games. Although some of these problems you can't fix, and I originally praised this role for buffing Framer and Disguiser, two of the worst Random Mafia.

So it's your choice. Overall, fine role.
