[Ambient]

Imba.

[Muso]

This is like a 10x more powerful janitor.

[Ash]

This is like a 10x more powerful janitor.

Why Janitor? don't you mean framer?

[Dust]

This is like a 10x more powerful janitor.

Why Janitor? don't you mean framer?

Don't you mean both?

Don't you mean both, but 10x?

[Ambient]

Basically no. Not ever.

This would never work. The intelligence in the pubs is already low enough. This would throw the game into permanent chaos. Except for the fact it would never be used.

Notice its suggested for Forum Mafia.

I imagine the Coroner could discover the switch by examining one of the bodies. So if the coroner suspects something is off he could check to be sure.

So long as the Coroner can correct the false information this role could work... Although Coroners these past few games tend to die early for some reason.

And if for whatever reason the Coroner fails, the game is thrown into complete and utter chaos and town automatically loses.

You're assuming people don't know of the existance of the role. Its not a surprise if what the role does is known to everyone in the game.

Although a permanent swap is a bit too powerful, it should have only 2 uses and can be used at night or at day to change the role of the person who died or was lynched to that of the second target, but the second target's role won't change. If used at night he can fake the dead person's last will, but if used at day the last will won't change and will be shown to everyone.

If its done like that it is more balanced, right? The coroner will know the true role once he takes a look.


And a real name suggestion for the role: Magician.

Description: A performing magician who has fallen from grace and now owes a huge debt to the mafia, in desperation he had no choice but to join the organization and use his skills for the sake of the Godfather. Using his sleigh of hand skills, smoke and mirrors he can trick even a whole crown to mistake one person for another.


Or maybe something else: Ex-CIA Agent.

Description: A skilled agent who was left to die for the sake of the mission. After returning alive he decided to work for himself, and was hired by the Godfather to serve the mafia's interests. An expert on forging dental records and ID's he can make one person appear to be someone he isn't, even in the midst of a crowd by using a well-planned distraction.

Hmmm I like that idea, makes the role alot better, and a good name

[Muso]

I am not convinced. It sounds so OP.

The repercussions of somebody who's been lynched flipping anything other than what they are would be absolutely catastrophic for Town.

it should only be a forum mafia role, and it gives more incentive for more coroners

[Dust]

Also more incentive to not lynch claimed coroners because they "might" be the cult leader....
