Postby Kinh » Fri Mar 06, 2020 10:15 pm

Diabolist (Coven Evil)

Attack: None
Defense: None

Unique: Yes

Ability: You may revive a dead Town member.
Attributes:

- The player you revive will be reborn into the Coven as a Coven role.
- You may only resurrect a Townie once.
- You can hear dead chat during the day and night, but you won't be able to talk back with them.
- With the Necronomicon, the person you revived will get the Necronomicon themselves.
- With the Necronomicon, you will deal a Basic Attack to whoever visits you.

Mechanics:
- When reviving, you'll get a UI with a list of all the available Coven roles to choose from.
- Coven roles that are living will not be available to choose from, as they are unique.
- Yes, this makes it possible for Coven to have 5 members at once.
- Just like the Retributionist, the town will be alerted of a revived person but they won't be able to differentiate between a Retributionist revive or a Diabolist revive.

-Investigative Results-
Investigator: Medium, Retributionist, Janitor, Necromancer, Trapper, or Diabolist.
Sheriff: (Without Necronomicon) Your target is suspicious! (With Necronomicon) You can't find evidence of their wrongdoing, your target is innocent!
Consigliere/Coven Leader/Potion Master: Your target reborn town members into a devil family, they must be Diabolist!

This might cause some problems, but it gives Retributionist a much needed nerf. What changes should I make?

This is very much the wrong way to nerf the Retributionist. Most importantly, it only applies to Coven games, not to Mafia games.

Faction-changing roles are a bit of a problem also. Yes, Vampire exists, but there's a reason Vampire stays out of Ranked. They tend to promote mild gamethrowing.

Any role with the Necronomicon should be able to reliably kill every night (barring other roles actively blocking you). This role's "counterattack" power doesn't meet that standard.

This is abusable. If a retri claims and revives, since the Necro gets pushed onto the revived, the Sheriff can just check you and bam found out. If a Retri doesn't claim, then the revived would be revived by a Diabolist and then lynched.

Also Last Wills will destroy the killing here, unless you remove Last Wills and then it'd be a way better Medusa.
