Overview

The Consigliere is an Investigator affiliated with the Mafia. The role can investigate a target every night to determine clues pertaining to the target's role or be revealed the role itself depending on the settings.

Strategy

• The primary strategy for a Consigliere is to determine which players are in possession of investigative roles for the Town, and thus have them killed at night.

• A Consigliere may also choose to act as an Investigator on behalf of the Town, hence revealing people's roles or stipulating that perhaps the player with knives is a Serial Killer, or the player with weapons is a Mafioso as opposed to a Vigilante. It is generally difficult to out players unless they are guaranteed Neutral roles such as a Executioner or Jester. A Consigliere choosing to utilize this strategy must be wary of Sheriffs as they can investigate you and lift your facade.

• Advanced/Situational strategy: Depending on game settings, it may be useful for a Consigliere to claim there is a Framer in game (say a target came up as having weapons when they clearly can't) before anyone claims to have targeted the Consigliere as a Sheriff. This will allow him to potentially delay until an Investigator and Sheriff target him on the same night. Either he's done sufficient damage, or he can try getting one last Town lynched by bandwagoning the real Investigator.

• If the Mafia also has a Janitor, then the Consigliere may also investigate the person marked for death to determine a safe role for the Mafia members to claim when on trial or tell when a Town Power role dies so the Mafia members can be more outspoken during the day.

• Advanced/Situational strategy: If a Consigliere finds someone with knives the first or second night, he can reveal as Investigator and PM the target (or reveal it publicly depending on the circumstances). If he is convincing, he may have himself a pocket Doctor until the end. Even if his target was a Serial Killer, any other doc will probably heal him and the Serial Killer will have to avoid hitting the Consigliere unless he wants to reveal himself.

• If the ability for the Consigliere to detect exact roles is enabled, be sure to act like a normal Investigator if you choose to go public with your results. Even if you know for sure someone may be a Serial Killer, you may inadvertently expose yourself if you are too confident of this fact, as a real Investigator would see the player as either a Doctor or Serial Killer and not be so sure.

• If you have convinced the Town that you are an Investigator, you can use your authority to clear other Mafia when they are detected by the real Town Investigative roles by claiming that must be proof of a Framer. For example, if your fellow Mafia is discovered Night 3, you can claim that you checked him Night 2 and he was clean, so that's evidence of a Framer and your fellow Mafia must be innocent. This information can also throw off the Town into believing there is a Framer when there may not be, thus confusing their attempts to deduce the Mafia.

Options

• Replaces the Godfather - (Default: Off)
• Detects exact role - (Default: Off)
• Becomes Mafioso if alone - (Default: On)

Notes

• If the "Replaces the Godfather" option is enabled, the Consigliere will become the new Godfather if the current Godfather dies.
