If a Lookout could predict the future and know who was going to be attacked, they would be a Visionary. Yes, absolutely too overpowered. Remove this.
 * This may be too OP, but they see who visited the target to kill them, and whoever else visited as well (just like the Lookout).

This is almost to close to the medium as well in a way.

I completely agree.

Mediums are expected to ask the dead if they have any information before or when they died (and therefore couldn't write this in their will). This is literally exactly what the Visionary does. However, dead people will often quit the game, go afk, not remember things correctly, take too long to respond, are unable to read their messages, cannot express themselves correctly, or gamethrow. In all of these cases, a Visionary would be a much more reliable role.

The Visionary and Medium almost completely overlap in their contribution to the Town. Therefore, this idea will most likely not be accepted in the forum as-is. Some advice, pick one or both:
 * Change the role a bit. Show us (and the BMG forums of course) why this role can handle certain situations better or worse than the Medium!
 * Balance the role versus the Medium. Give it some additional strengths and weaknesses!
