Looks like a buffed Sheriff to me. Anyone who comes up "innocent" to this role is confirmed town (and this role is easily confirmed by attempting to visit it, so it can't be claimed by evils).

Even worse, this role function as a trap for evils: anyone who claims to have visited the Exile and not seen them jailed is confirmed evil.

[FRCFresh]

Slightly changed how it works so that it's more balanced; perhaps the charges have to be removed and only allow visiting per 2 days or something.

[Brilliand]

No, I don't think this role benefits from having its visits limited. That's not a very good nerf for an investigative role.

The obvious way to fix this is to add some uncertainty and remove the self-confirming when visited, but then you just have a Sheriff.

[FRCFresh]

It's supposed to be a Town Support, since it's not an investion type of role.

Potential rework:
- Visit somebody each night to prove your innocence and allow them, and their other visitors to visit you. Players that you have not visited may not be able to visit you.

So the whole point of this role is to be able to prove its own innocence?

But it shouldn't be able to do that, full stop. Townies being able to confirm themselves is bad for the game.

Theoretically the concept was about a townie that was exiled, therefore that's how this was constructed. There was a design dilemma between Neutral and Town, perhaps Neutral would fit better.

Maybe. Seems to me some of the existing Neutral roles can already be roleplayed that way. The Witch in particular has lore that sounds very similar to that.
