Regarding you stating that more Town roles give more roles to claim. Indeed, they would give more roles to claim however having more claims would not really help Mafia's win rate get any higher. This role could even possible limit it even further. In addition, more Town roles just means more threats to the Mafia and when roles get confirmed as easily as they do now, claim space narrows down FAST, regardless of how many Town roles are in game.
Regarding this role specifically, John Proctor is the Mafioso and claims a role that can visit (for this example we can say Sheriff, but any visiting role works). They claim throughout any portion of the game and if the Sleuth checks one of their visits which haven't visited John too throughout the game, they will see that it is completely fabricated which would restrict evils claim space to those they could/can actually visit.
Am I making any sense?
