Overview
The Coroner is a rather limited role in the fact that its uses stretch from critical in setups with Janitors or Clue Variant 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, Arsonist or Mass Murderer.
- By using the Coroner's ability on a dead Mafia role like Framer, Blackmailer, Consigliere, or Consort. You would be able to see they're targets and clearly say these targets are not member of the Mafia, cause they can't target they're teammates, unless a Witch or Bus Driver is in play.
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
- There is a very small chance for a Coroner to appear through a Town Random or Any Random slot, even if there are no Janitors or Disguisers in the game.
- The Coroner will only spawn from random if one or more of these conditions are true: [1]
- There is a Janitor in the game.
- The mode is the Clue variant.
- All options for the Coroner are enabled.
- Coroners are considered always to be at home, for Mass Murderer purposes.
- If you perform autopsy on a living player (only possible due to a Witch), you will be notified with a note saying "The player is still alive", therefore revealing there's a Witch in the game and you were certainly controlled by him (even if the victim doesn't know he's controlled). Notify the Town immediately.
- Coroners are among the few roles that cannot die to a live Veteran if forced.
