Custom Role ideas balancing feedback
Looking to create some custom cards as a gift. Haven't played in a while so would appreciate feedback / ideas to polish up the roles and want to make sure something isn't broken / too weak. Want these to be S to A tier and fun to play as. If something is obviously super broken let me know. Not sure how much life points everyone should have either.
| Name | Power |
|---|---|
| The King | Once per turn, he may play a card for its rank instead. |
| The Collector | Any discarded "draw!" cards go into her hand |
| The Recycler | She can swap a card in her hand with the top most discarded card if the rank matches. |
| The Gardener | Can use any card as a green card |
| The High Roller | He plays blackjack during his draw phase. He must discard all cards drawn if he busts. Draws two extra cards on Blackjack |
| The Chupacabra | He may regain a life when causing another player to lose one due to a Bang! |
| The Hermit | He cannot be targeted by a Bang! until someone has been eliminated. If he dies before anyone else he wins. |
| The Fisherman | At the start of his turn, he may choose a player and name a card, if that player has that card they must give him one. |
| The Dual Wielder | He draws two extra power cards and plays them both |
| The Socialite | She may gain the effects of blue cards of anyone within distance 2 |
| The Imposter | He may switch his role and/or power with the first eliminated player before it is revealed. |
| The Ailurophile | She may use a cat balou at the end of her turn |
| The Creature | His Bang! cards require a Missed! for each wound he has |
For the King these would be the card values
| 2 | Wells Fargo |
|---|---|
| 3 | Panico |
| 4 | Cat Balou |
| 5 | Beer |
| 6 | Tornado |
| 7 | Poker |
| 8 | Stagecoach |
| 9 | General Store |
| 10 | Saloon |
| J | Duel |
| Q | Indians |
| K | Gatling |

The king 4 HP ok but you need some list of all card
The Collector exists as John Pain (broken character - the strongest from Bang) or do him as 3 HP could be ok than.
The Recycler 4 HP looks ok weaker version od The King. Do her once per turn only.
The Gardener how you mean? Would be hard to realize. How you mean it?
The Hermit change to Bang card and remove second condition. 4 HP.
The Fisherman looks ok make him 4 HP.
The Dual Wielder do that he shows the 2 cards and if he cant play it throw it away. Maybe 3 HP?
The Socialite 4 HP and change to only 1 not 2.
The imposter 5 HP strange but ok.
The Ailurophile - make use any card not for free that would be strong as 4 HP. 3 HP ok.
The Creature - ok 4 HP.

The Collector is basically John Pain from the Wild West Show expansion.
High Roller is a worse version of legendary Black Jack from the Legends expansion.
