Vampire Faction

[TheFluffyWaffleV2]

You heard me right. Vampire Faction. Let's go. This is a whole ass faction, btw. Lot's of roles.

There can be a maximum of 4 Vampires at a time. After a Vampire dies, this number is lowered to 3.
Amne obviously breaks this rule.
If the game starts with 2 Vampires, there is guaranteed to be a Vampire Hunter.
And yes, some of these roles aren't "vampires", but they are undead nevertheless. And coming up for names for these roles is hard. Feel free to suggest any.

Phew. That's a lot. Jesus christ. Why did I make this? I was bored as fuck. Try to read it I don't care. This was fun as hell to make.

Edit1: Nerfed maximum Vampire capacity, nerfed Wrathman, nerfed Succuba, adjusted Ghoul, nerfed Revenant.

This seems like a lot of hard work was put into it, well done!
Unfortunately though, I think this is too powerful.

The vampire faction will become way too overpowered. Also, this is taking already existing abilities and making them more powerful. If anything, becoming a vampire should make your abilities weaker.

Highlord = Converting Godfather(copied from mafia + vampire gimmick)
Drudge = Converting Mafioso(copied from mafia + vampire gimmick)
Wight = Lookout with BMer's passive(Too powerful, perhaps remove BMer''s passive)
Lich = Astral Framer(Remove astral part, also copied from mafia)
Ghoul = Secondary Drudge(Mafioso), also slightly more powerful than drudge when promoted(tbh I just don't like this one, Sorry!)
Wrathman = Crusader with additional abilities(tbh i just dont like this one, Sorry!)
Revenant = Necromancer/Retributionist(limit usage to vampire-only)
Succuba= Buff'd Consort/Escort(maybe change it to Escort/Consort being able to block Succuba)

Sorry to shut you down like this, but this is practically the Mafia faction with better abilities and a converting attribute to recover lost teammates. Vampires are OP to begin with.

To end this on a good note, I love the way you colored everything and put so much effort into this! It was amazing and fun to read.
I'd suggest you could work on balancing and buffing mafia roles. Maybe even create new Mafia roles if you're confident!
I appreciate the amount of effort you put into this, thank you, and I'm sorry for shutting you down in this post

The vampire faction will become way too overpowered. Also, this is taking already existing abilities and making them more powerful. If anything, becoming a vampire should make your abilities weaker.

Isn't the process of becoming a vampire also making one stronger? In actual folk lore, I mean. However, I see what you mean.

Highlord = Converting Godfather(copied from mafia + vampire gimmick)

Basically. However, it's easily countered if the Vampire Hunter finds them, as they can kill them easily (see VH buff for this specifically)

Drudge = Converting Mafioso(copied from mafia + vampire gimmick)

Yes but they have even less rights! And usually, if the Highlord is alive, its used like the "tactical maf kills".

Wight = Lookout with BMer's passive(Too powerful, perhaps remove BMer''s passive)

This role is the Vampires prime source of information. They can find TP easily with it. Remember that the Vampires will likely not get this role unless they convert a powerful TI.

Lich = Astral Framer(Remove astral part, also copied from mafia)

The Lich is another source of information, but with a mix of deception. It's a Consigliere and Framer combination. And as I stated, it is not an astral attack. When attacking, you will simply not be seen by Lookouts and Trackers. Bodygards, Trappers, and Crusaders will still stop the attack.

Ghoul = Secondary Drudge(Mafioso), also slightly more powerful than drudge when promoted(tbh I just don't like this one, Sorry!)

I just wanted to give them a Killing role, if they converted a killing person. I may change the powerful attack. (Edit: I did).

Wrathman = Crusader with additional abilities(tbh i just dont like this one, Sorry!)

This one is another one I'm split about. The counter attacking part seems off. I might make it so you get trapper results when you protect your ally. (Edit: Changed).

Revenant = Necromancer/Retributionist(limit usage to vampire-only)

Not the same. Instead of the dead target visiting, you visit. Also you read dead chat at all times! (Edit: No longer gains Basic defense when being the Drudge).

Succuba= Buff'd Consort/Escort(maybe change it to Escort/Consort being able to block Succuba)

Agreed. Probably will change that. (Edit: Changed).

Sorry to shut you down like this, but this is practically the Mafia faction with better abilities and a converting attribute to recover lost teammates. Vampires are OP to begin with.

If this is the case, I may make it so there can only be 3 vampires alive at a time. (Edit: Adjusted.)

Thank you for the feedback!

[OreCreeper]

Uh what does Survivor, Amnesiac, and Jester convert into?

[Mystoc]

vampires arent a balanced faction expanding on them when they are meant for fun custom game mode this isnt really needed

vampires can only be balanced if conversion is removed

sure this faction would be great for custom modes but conversion roles can never be balanced
