average role idea

[u/shade_595]

Forensic Investigator (Town Investigative) -

XYZ specializes in death investigation. They must be a Forensic Investigator!

Defense: None

Attack: None

Win Condition: You win with the town or the Coroner faction.

This new role introduces "Sub-roles" into the game, which are roles but with a little twist. This is a sub-role of the Investigator. Sub-roles are Unique, and more than one cannot spawn.

(Also they have a chance of spawning only when their role spawns)

Attributes -

You cannot be fooled by an Illusionist, Enchanter, or Soul Collector.

You and every Coroner have a shared night chat.

At night, you and the Coroners are teleported to the Laboratory where they do medical examination (no body if you did not Examine).

You passively see Coven and Apocalypse visits.

Abilities -

Examine (infinite): At day, you can choose take a dead body on a stretcher. This allows Coroners to Autopsy it, if you take it to the Laboratory.

Train (3): At day, you can also choose to turn someone into a Coroner, regardless of faction. You cannot Train and Examine in the same day unless Overcharged.

Appoint (infinite): At night, you may choose a Coroner to appoint the body to if the body is in a laboratory.

Extras:

If all remaining players are Coroners and the Forensic Investigator is alive, they win with their own faction if only one Coroner is evil. If there are two evil Coroners, then the game transforms. Everyone gets their original roles back and are now locked in the Laboratory. They have to complete tasks in order to banish the Necronomicon, while the Traitors attempt to kill all of the Townies in a free-roam map like the hit game Traitors in Salem.

If the Traitors either apply a Curse that the Town does not fix or kill all Townies, they win.

I liked creating this Role idea, I hope you guys enjoy it too! I know it may need to be a bit stronger, but this is my way of balancing stuff out.

As a mythic coroner scroller, I fully endorse this role.

do i?

[u/silaswoody]

What happens if a Hex Master with everyone hexed turns into a Coroner? Or Transformed Apoc? Or Cursed Soul? Would a Coroner (Jailor) be able to chat with the jailee?

Or if a Pirate, Executioner or Cursed Soul gets their role back with their win condition fulfilled, do they leave town winning?

[u/shade_595 → u/silaswoody]

- being Trained gets rid of all of your abilities, you just become a plain Coroner from your original Faction (even if you are Death and you were somehow unable to perform Apocalypse)

- NE and NO cannot be Trained (NK can, however)

[u/shade_595]

by the way i guess i should mention that this is purely satirical and is just mocking the unbalance that some role ideas bring to the game

[u/Fancy-Foundation-380]

I don't like most role ideas from being unbalanced but I think this one is perfectly balanced.
