The "I need this role to be defined somewhere" thread

[TemporalLich]

My normal role proposals:

Superstar

- Reveals their own role (but not alignment) publically

Moonlight Dancer

- An IC/Superstar with no useful info. Like Named, but confirmable.

Shield

- Attempts to roleblock a kill, dies if it successfully roleblocks a kill.

VIP

- A Bodyguard with the caster and target flipped. Protects self from a kill, and attempts to kill the target if the VIP is targeted by a kill.

Modifier Cop

- A limited Role Cop that will only find modifiers (parts of a role that modify the base role but can't stand alone. Also note that modifiers can modify modifiers).

Reporter

- Learns if a target has acted. An imprecise Tracker.

Inspector

- Learns if a target has been targeted. An imprecise Watcher.

Security Guard

- A Watcher that gives its results to their target.

Visionary

- A Voyeur that gives its results to their target.

Role Guard

- A Role Watcher that gives its results to their target.

Electrifier

Defining some "Combined Goon X" combos here - which will also allow them to be on Serial Killers:

Enforcer - A role that roleblocks as it performs a factional kill (Combined Goon Roleblocker)
Squelcher - A role that rolestops as it performs a factional kill (Combined Goon Rolestopper)
Vaporizer - A role that uses alien ability as it performs a factional kill (Combined Goon Alien)
Wraith - A role that commutes as it performs a factional kill (Combined Goon Commuter)

[TemporalLich]

Combo Cop

- A role that investigates for how roles are combined together in a role card.

Results are this, in increasing order of priority:

Vanilla - No role (e.g. VT, Goon)
Singleton - A single base role (e.g. Cop, Ascetic, 1-shot Doctor, Multitasking Roleblocker)
Hybrid - Multiple base roles (e.g. Cop Doctor, Mason Jailkeeper, Bulletproof Vigilante)
Combined - Multiple base roles, one action and one target (e.g. Combined Cop Doctor, Combined Vigilante Roleblocker)
Split - Multiple base roles, one action but targets must be different (e.g. Split Checker Doctor, Split Neighborizer Neighborizer)
Multitasking - Multiple base roles, can use more than one (e.g. Multitasking Cop Doctor, Multitasking Roleblocker Rolestopper) - note that Multitasking Roleblocker is still a Singleton role.

Pseudomason

- A group of players who know each other's alignment and can talk via Private Topic.

The list of role modifiers that are variants of Strong-Willed:

Unblockable - Can't be blocked, can be protected from or redirected.
Unprotectable - Can't be protected from, can be blocked or redirected.
Unredirectable - Can't be redirected, can be blocked or protected from.
Strongman - Can't be blocked or protected from, can be redirected.
Empowered - Can't be blocked or redirected, can be protected from.
Piercing - Can't be protected from or redirected, can be blocked.
Strong-Willed - Can't be blocked, protected from, or redirected. Roles like Commuter or Enchantress will still affect even Strong-Willed roles.

Pseudomason

- A group of players who know each other's alignment and can talk via Private Topic.

Coworker

- A group of players who know each other's role and can talk via Private Topic.

I think [it] would be helpful to define how these are not just Masons with a rename.

[edited]

Masons are a group of players with access to a PT and who are guaranteed to not be Mafia. Pseudomasons are a group of players with access to a PT and knowledge of each other's alignment.

Mafia Mason isn't possible (outside of a bastard game), Mafia Pseudomason is known to be Mafia-aligned to the other Pseudomasons.

Notifier

- Each night, you may target a player. That player will learn if anyone else targeted them or not.

Inspector equivalent to a Security Guard.

Some derived role ideas:

Immune

- A derived role. You are immune to the referred role. If Immune refers to a modifier, you are immune to all roles with that modifier.

Avoiding

- A derived modifier. Your action fails when targeting the referred role.

Locked

- A derived modifier. Your role is unusable until the referred role dies.

Supervisor

- Checks if a player chose not to act when they could have acted or not. (Factional actions count unless this role is Personal. A negative result is given if a player has acted or could not have acted (this can be due to being limited by schedule restriction modifiers, X-shot type modifiers, or having no active abilities at all). Note that if a player has multiple actions, only one action is sufficient to yield a negative result.)

Alternately, the Supervisor can check to see if a player has an active ability but didn't attempt to act or not, which would mean that active abilities limited by schedule restriction modifiers or X-shot type modifiers would still yield a positive result (player has an active ability and didn't attempt to act).
