Would you learn which role corresponds to who? Or just which roles exist? Since I think that's pretty important.

You learn the exact roles of all players who you prayed with. Like a Consig. So if you check Deodat Lawson the Sheriff and Edward Bishop the Mafioso before dying, you will know that Deodat is the Sheriff and Edward is the Mafioso.

So you get the roles in order of who you visited?

You get all the roles and the names of the players they correspond to the night that you die.

This won't be able to accomplish much in small games or current Ranked, because the game is so short there. It's an interesting idea, though, and will probably be able to pull its weight in the kind of game where Town loses its majority N6.

Can the Monk sacrifice and check in the same night? (I think it should be able to, because Sacrifice is almost never worth doing, so letting the monk multitask when using it will soften the blow a bit.)

It says it can't but I would like for it to as well

I dislike roles that have to die in order to be useful, the concept is kinda wacky and doesn't really work well, this sort of role would further make town investigative more imbalanced then it already is, with a sort of role that does nothing but has the chance to give some good information when dead... (It's going to use on Jailor or Mayor or another confirmed townie).

I don't think it was well thought out or really all that fun. It's pretty underpowered for one but has weird Potential to break some games and its very slow. (N1/N2 Gather 2 roles? then die N3, give them to jailor N4 at that point i rather just have a sheriff or Investigator at least they can get consistent information without having to lose a town number).
Favourite Roles (To play)
Spoiler: Town: Jailor
Mafia: Consort
NE: Witch
NB: Guardian Angel
Coven: Necromancer
NC: Pirate
