Attributes: If your target dies you will replace all ways they have died with a role you have chosen

You can only use this ability 2 times

You have decided to chop off your target's head. They were executed by the Jailor!
You have decided to place shotgun wounds on your target. They were killed by a Veteran!
You have decided to make your target die in a mysterious way. They were killed by a Hex Master!

You have decided to place needle marks on your target. They were killed by a Poisoner!
You have decided to light your target on fire. They were killed by an Arsonist!

You have decided to place multiple stake wounds on your target. They were killed by a Vampire Hunter!
You have decided to place katana wounds on your target. They were killed by a Vigilante!



Mechanics and Proposed Strategy: Select a player each night and if they die, you will change the way they died.
This mechanic will override all other causes of deaths
One important strategy is to do surgery on a target to make it seem like they were killed by a vigilante, especially if you have a consigliere to confirm that they are evil
The same strategy can be used to confirm yourself as Bodyguard (If you and another mafia member are "chaining"), Vampire Hunter, Crusader, Veteran, Trapper, Pirate, Etc.
The role can also be used to cause chaos, such as 2 mafia kills, an arsonist kill, a vampire killing a townie (Which normally would confirm a 4 vampire game), etc.
Unlike forger, the ability will fail if the target does not die, therefore keeping you from wasting your abilities

Achievements: Med School - Win 1 game as a Surgeon

Residency - Win 5 games as a Surgeon

Fellowship - Win 10 games as a Surgeon

Certified - Win 25 games as a Surgeon

ah yes, this idea again

i will have to emphasize that this is an underpowered role idea in general. in ranked, only 5 roles can kil): the 3 TK, mafioso, and ambusher. you could maybe fake a vigilante shot or hide a vet kill, but in these situations either mafia would appesr to have no kills or a double kill, which would be rather noticable.

additionally *2 uses* is not nearly enough; this ability is not at all powerful enough to require such a low limit

I could see this as somewhat of a Forger* buff? (if you really needed to)
The idea is actually someone neat like it can work wonders for fake claims, problems are that you could only generally claim veteran with the way vigilante works currently.

It can cause a bit of chaos aswell which i like but the role somewhat niche.
