Chaos Gamemode: Modifiers

[cob709]

Overview
It's time to introduce something new to Town of Salem, players want new and exciting content. One way to do this is to use role modifiers. Basically, modifiers change the way a role acts and interacts with other roles. It's practically a "second role," or rather modifies how roles interact. It will definitely add a new aspect to the game and greatly change various playstyles and strategies. Some roles will become entirely useless if paired with the wrong modifiers, while others might greatly enhance them. This game mode is expected to be incredibly swingy, chaos modes are generally difficult to balance.

Note: Classic Chaos, not the Coven DLC.

Here are some modifiers and descriptions for them. Most of these were pulled from Mafia Scum and other forum mafia sites. There may be some more out there that I haven't added in yet.

Sounds like fun. /support.

[Robbytherobot]

This does sound really fun but also sounds like a nightmare to program, TOS is already too hard for new players but this might work in a more locked down gamemode like classic classic ++
