Town of Salem Wiki

 Elected with the Mayor during voting season, the Sheriff is an expert at his trade: reading people. A mere glance at his target tells the Sheriff everything he needs to know: whether or not the target is suspicious. He knows all of the law abiding citizens and seeks to take down the only criminals that elude him to this day: the Godfather and the Arsonist.

Stats

Role Name: Sheriff

Role Alignment: Town Investigative

Abilities: Check one person each night for suspicious activity.

Attributes:

  • You will know if your target is a member of the Mafia.
  • You will know if your target is a Serial Killer.
  • Cannot detect Detection Immune roles

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.

Note: The Godfather and Arsonist are detection immune. They will appear non-suspicious for you.

Strategy

-Same as the Investigator the Sheriff uses their powers of deduction to lynch all Mafia, Arsonists, and Serial Killers.

-Unlike the Investigator, the Sheriff can determine whether his target is evil or not; lacking the vague answers received by the Investigator.

-BE CAREFUL. The Godfather of the Mafia (as well as the Arsonist) appears as "Not suspicious" to the Sheriff, so work in conjunction with any Investigators to narrow the pool of suspects.
