Visual representation of limted ability usages

Visual representation of limted ability usages

It's not very hard to keep track of the amount of usages you have left if you're playing a role like with limited usages of their ability. But it'd still be nice to have a visual representation. Something like this is what I have in mind:
http://prntscr.com/9p8an8
Of course, this is shitty, but I am sure the developers have more than 2 minutes of time on their hands to make something cool.

The roles this would involve would be:
  • The Bodyguards bulletproof vest
  • The Doctors self heal
  • The Jailors executes
  • The Mediums seance
  • The Retributionists revive
  • The Veterans alerts
  • The Vigilante's bullets
  • The Disguisers disguises
  • The Forgers forgeries
  • The Janitors cleanings
  • The Survivors bulletproof vests

Please vote on the poll above if you think this is a good idea.

Please note that I [i]know that this isn't what the developers should be focusing on, and that this idea isn't even something that the game deperatley needs. It's more like a patch to make the game feel less clunky and more smooth.[/i]

This would be cool.

But

Make each role's ability counter different.

Janitor has three mops
Veteran has three guns
Bodyguard has a vest
Doctor has a red cross (the symbol)
Disguiser has three... somethings?
Jailor has three guillotines
Vigilante has three pistols
etc.

This would be cool, but I don't think it's really needed

Oh yeah, that was my intention actually, I thought that the Veterans alert = an exclamation mark :D

This might be a good idea since you only see how many actions you have left at night, while with this update you would see it even during the day.

This would help mafia plan accordingly based on their limited abilities. Sure. You have my support.

I like this, but I'd change some of the symbols.
Vet might get a crosshair symbol
Vig gets bullets
Disg gets a mask, like the one on the character image (the one on the Disg scroll)
