Spy(Overhaul/Buff)

Postby cob709 » Sat Jul 04, 2020 11:06 pm

We all know Spy is absolute garbage. I'm here to try and make a good Spy role.
This version of Spy gives it more specific information, such as mafia roles and each individual target.
I tried to make this somewhat similar to the current spy.

Spy
Town Investigative
Abilities:
- You may choose to Lurk at night.

Attributes:
- If you choose to Lurk, you will learn all Coven and Mafia roles and their targets.
- You will not see Coven and Mafia roles if they do not use their ability.
- You may only Lurk 3 times.

Notifications:
[Spy]: You have decided to Lurk tonight.
[Spy]: You may Lurk [Amount] more times.
[Spy]: You saw a [Random Mafia] visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Disguiser visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Forger visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Framer visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Hypnotist visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Janitor visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Ambusher visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Godfather visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Mafioso visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Blackmailer visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Consigliere visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Consort visit [Player] last night.
[Spy]: You saw a [Random Coven] visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Coven Leader visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Hex Master visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Medusa visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Necromancer visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Poisoner visit [Player] last night.
      You saw a Potion Master visit [Player] last night.

Too much like the current spy. Constantly seeing Mafia targets is what causes most of the Spy's problems; seeing all Mafia targets 3 times (so about half the time in an average game) is still too much.

Also, in the course of fixing Spy, it's preferable to make it a role that targets to get info rather than just getting all info of a certain type.

(Have you seen the other recent proposals for fixing Spy?)

I'd still rather have them check a player to see if Mafia has ever visited them. Though that may be too weak. Not sure but as brilliand stated this is still too strong.

Escort claims.
Spy uses their shot.
Escort confirmed.

Sounds great.
