Overview

The Coroner is a rather limited role in the fact that its uses stretch from critical in setups with Janitors or Clue Variants to rather underwhelming in other setups. The role has the ability to view the roles of dead players and see their last target depending on the settings.

Strategies

  • The most prominent purpose of the Coroner outside of Clue Variant is the ability to determine the roles of sanitized players. By determining the roles of players cleaned up by a Janitor, the town can make more definite decisions on who's lying and who's not.
  • Additionally, with the ability to reveal a player's last target, the Coroner can help with the town's investigations. For example, if there are fewer deaths than normal and an Escort died on that night then investigating the death of the Escort may reveal a killing role that was blocked that night. Investigating the death of a Vigilante or Serial Killer may reveal an attempt to kill an invulnerable Godfather, Serial Killer, or Arsonist.

Clue Variant

Clue Variant is a game setup style that is fundamentally different to other setups with Mafia. In this variant roles are not revealed upon a players death in much the same way as a sanitizing from a Janitor. This makes it obscenely difficult to determine whether or not players are telling the truth and adds a general aura of confusion to the game. The Coroner has a niche purpose in this variant to act as a unique style of Sheriff or Investigator who can determine if players claiming power roles are telling the truth.

Options

  • Discovers all targets - (Default: On)
  • Discovers Last Will - (Default: On)
  • Discovers death type - (Default: On)


Notes

  • The Coroner cannot be selected through Random Town or Random Any unless there is a Janitor or Disguiser in the game.
