Milkman [Town Support]

[RotomDex]

Role Name: Milkman

Role Alignment: Town Support

You are a young student who delivers cold glasses of milk to keep people alert.

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.

_____________________________________________

Attributes/Abilites:

The Milkman is a new role that has a special drink that keeps you awake and aware! Every night, they can deliver milk to someone which will make them more alert.

Then, that night, if they are attacked or roleblocked, then they will react due to the cold drink and use their role on their attacker instead of what they were doing originally.

For example, an aware Escort will roleblock their attacker, meaning they survive. The attacker would know they were roleblocked but not that their victim was the one who did it.

There are some slight special cases.

_____________________________________________

Role Interactions:

An Escort, Consort, Blackmailer, Disguiser and Framer will use their role on their attacker.

A Transporter and Witch will change their first target to their attacker.

A Vigilante, Mafioso, Godfather or Serial Killer will attack their attacker, killing them if they aren't immune.

A Veteran will go on alert if attacked, killing the Milkman too.

A Jailor will execute their target if a Serial Killer or Werewolf lashes out.

A Doctor, Bodyguard or Survivor will protect themself, losing a self-heal/vest.

All Town Investigative roles have a special interaction. They will still die, however they will know the name of the person who killed them.

_____________________________________________

Investigative Results:

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target sticks to the shadows. They could be a Lookout, Milkman, Forger, or Amnesiac.

Consigliere: Your target struggles to stay awake. They must be a Milkman!

_____________________________________________

Additional Information (comments):

So, the Milkman plays slightly like a Town Protective role, trying to find people who will be targeted. It works well against killers by redirecting abilities onto them if they can guess well. The role has quite a wide spectrum of play due to working with each role individually, making it quite interesting to play.

What kind of idea...
Is coffee.
Coffee.
Like... what?

It's a name that can be changed. Focus on the actual role itself.

Still.... Coffee....

Seems a good role... Limit amount of coffees tho

[NopeTooFast]

good role idea. i hope spectre doesn't shred it :^)

also, coffee boosted escort/consort. i can't imagine that happening without laughing. the attacker is caffeine-rush fucked so hard they can't attack them.

[Spectre0]

Good role?

It's just a weaker protective.

[NopeTooFast]

oh wow, spectre was wrong for once.

i do feel that this is in need of a slight buff, but this is a pretty difficult role to buff.

[RotomDex]

Good role?

It's just a weaker protective.

You're so critical of every role, i'm sure you'll end up hating whatever is added in 1.6 anyway.

Regardless, it's not just a weaker protective. Sometimes, it happens to protect, but that's not for every role. By it's very nature it works differently with every role it functions with and of course it works protectively when it interacts with a protective role.

[MreowMreow]

This role could go two ways. Either messes up town (aka bad transporter) or it could prove useful as a weaker protective when roles are confirmed. I like the idea, though I'm not sure if town would need something in particular like this at the moment.

[BlazinIce]

Town Support is supposed to be weaker than Town Protective, Spectre.
As for the role itself, a nice way to buff it would make it so it gets an additional target. For example, the attacked doctor still protects their target, and uses a self vest, or the attacked escort roleblocks both it's target and the attacker. Obviously this wouldn't apply for Transporter/Witch. Or it could give two coffees per night. Also, make the Ability/Attributes this:
Spoiler: Ability:
-Give coffee to someone each night
Attributes:
-Your target will target the killer if attacked.
-If your target is attacked and able to target themselves, they will.
-If your target is an attacked Town Investigative role, they will know the attacker's name.
-Roles with two target buttons will make their attacker their first target
(Also just make Bodyguard self-vest for the sake of consistency)

Yeah I love cappuccino with croissant on Sunday BUT not in Role ideas and please pass the sugar.
Please read this before post, bros or something

This isn't a joke. Did you read the post? It has an unorthodox name but that can be changed.

Ok what ever you said, you are not joking is ok (thought there were lots of meme in the forum). I did read it, fine concept ^^! Keep trying next times.

[SERVAT]

Change the name

[BlazinIce]

Why dont you call it PERFORM ENHANCER? Seems like a better idea

please no

[khakha1036]

It's still the same.

[Spectre0]

Good role?

It's just a weaker protective.

Town Support is supposed to be weaker than Town Protective, Spectre.

And yet, this attempts to function as a protective, has next to no utility outside of protection, and is weaker than any other protective.

That doesn't negate my argument.

I'm going to focus only on interactions with town, for obvious reasons.

An Escort, Consort, Blackmailer, Disguiser and Framer will use their role on their attacker.

Doctor effect

A Transporter and Witch will change their first target to their attacker.

No noteworthy or predictable effect.

A Vigilante, Mafioso, Godfather or Serial Killer will attack their attacker, killing them if they aren't immune.

The only situation where this role is more useful than any pre-existing role.

A Veteran will go on alert if attacked, killing the Coffeemaker too.

At the very best, town protective and one evil die. Realistically, more will and they are more likely to be town.

A Jailor will execute their target if a Serial Killer or Werewolf lashes out.

More time-efficient than if a Doctor was on the Jailor, but not any more useful.

A Doctor, Bodyguard or Survivor will protect themself, losing a self-heal/vest.

A doctor interaction, but weaker.

All Town Investigative roles have a special interaction. They will still die, however they will know the name of the person who killed them.

Useless without medium or retributionist, game-breaking with them.

I'd take Doctor or Bodyguard over a protective that's a doctor for some, better than a doc/bg for one, and pointless with most.

It's also a protective, and not in any way a Town Support. The only non-protective interaction is with TI's.

Of course it does.

Doctor effect

Unless it's a SK/WW

A Transporter and Witch will change their first target to their attacker.

No noteworthy or predictable effect.

Excluding that they don't die, their second target dies.

A Vigilante, Mafioso, Godfather or Serial Killer will attack their attacker, killing them if they aren't immune.

The only situation where this role is more useful than any pre-existing role.

Yeah, and this happens with 4 roles, 2 of which are in every Ranked game.

A Veteran will go on alert if attacked, killing the Coffeemaker too.

At the very best, town protective and one evil die. Realistically, more will and they are more likely to be town.

Town Support, and some evils may die too, you don't know.

A Jailor will execute their target if a Serial Killer or Werewolf lashes out.

More time-efficient than if a Doctor was on the Jailor, but not any more useful.

I'm pretty sure killing both the target and the jailor is more useful. An evil for a jailor is worth it, especially NK.

A Doctor, Bodyguard or Survivor will protect themself, losing a self-heal/vest.

A doctor interaction, but weaker.

Of course it functions like a protective with protective roles.

All Town Investigative roles have a special interaction. They will still die, however they will know the name of the person who killed them.

Useless without medium or retributionist, game-breaking with them.

Or a doctor/bodyguard.

I'd take Doctor or Bodyguard over a protective that's a doctor for some, better than a doc/bg for one, and pointless with most.

It encourages deeper play. You have to find out somebody's role, and utilize how they interact with you.

It's also a protective, and not in any way a Town Support. The only non-protective interaction is with TI's.

It protects 8/32 roles. The other roles have more unique reactions.

Funny... Milkman? Ahahaha

[khakha1036]

Funny... Milkman? Ahahaha

??? Wow now I understand what you guys talking about

[HereThereEverywhere]

A Transporter and Witch will change their first target to their attacker.

No noteworthy or predictable effect.

Excluding that they don't die, their second target dies.

Lets see, you go to Transport Bill and Bob.
You get attacked.
You transport Jim the SK and Bob.
You still die.
So sure, this role helps save Witches.
