Sheriff	Mafia When Immune to Detection: Not Suspicious
Investigator	Your target owns all sorts of illegal or dangerous objects, with no clear pattern; they are almost certainly a Framer. When Immune to Detection: You discover nothing of importance, suggesting that your target is as unsuspicious as a Citizen, Survivor, or a bedridden Amnesiac.

Overview

The Framer is a particularly powerful role capable of discrediting Sheriffs or Investigators as well as being capable of deceiving the Town into lynching a Town member. Attempt to frame players you think will be investigated.

A Framer is capable of framing a player at night. If a Sheriff investigates your target, he will appear as "a member of the Mafia" or a Neutral Evil roles. If an Investigator investigates your target, his role will appear to be one of the currently living Mafia roles or Neutral Evil roles.

Strategy

• Do not frame players already cleared by Sheriffs or Investigators as they will not be checked again. If they are checked again, it may prematurely given away your presence in the game, thus rendering you much less effective.

• It is not uncommon for player's roles to come into question during a trial, these players are the most likely to be checked the following night and should consequently be framed.

• Once a player has been successfully framed and lynched the Mafia then has a pseudo-control over the Sheriff as the Town’s trust for them would have dwindled significantly; this is particularly evident if a Framer has been selected at random.

• The Framer may appear as not suspicious to the Sheriff and Investigator (depending on the settings) so this can allow him to draw a little more attention to himself or even pretend to be Jester.

• If the Framer is not immune to detection, then a possible strategy can be to claim being Framed if a Sheriff or Investigator has investigated you, or you could pretend to be a Jester. You may have more luck acting as a Jester, as the Town may find it hard to believe that you were framed, and if it's the only lead they have, they are likely to lynch you if they do not think you are a Jester.

Options

• Becomes Mafioso if alone - (Default: On)
• Immune to detection - (Default: Off)

Notes

• When immune to detection a Framer will show up as a Citizen to an Investigator, potentially revealing the Framer to be Mafia if there are no Citizens in the game.
  • When immune to detection a Framer will show up as inactive to Detectives, unless the Detective's "Ignore detection immunity" option is enabled.

• Sheriffs that investigate a framed player will see them as a member of the Mafia, or as one of the currently living Neutral Evil role.

• Investigators that investigate a framed player will see them as one of the currently living Mafia roles or Neutral Evil roles.
