Mechanics
The Shapeshifter can deal a powerful attack to a player on the first night, and the first night only. Their target's role will only be revealed to them, and dependant on it, they change their winconditions. The Shapeshifter takes over their target's ability aswell as most of their attributes, except for suicidal [Jester,Vigilante,Boyguard] or faction-Based ones
[Mafia Promotion ,Executioner's Target Vampire Convert, Jailor's Execute-Loss]. They retain their Original Role and Alignment during the entire game, though *
Additional Information(*)
I. Plaguebearer is listed as a Neutral Killing role here, because pest is an NK.
II. You cannot shapeshift into the Mayor, as revealing yourself with its ability Will not only Probably break the game, but revealing yourself to the town as a guaranteed evil is also plain Stupid.
III. The Shapeshifter also takes over their target's ATK/DEF Stats.
Lore
Making lore for a role as complicated as this won't work for now, sadly. I may update this later though.
