New NK Role Idea - Devil (Possession ability)

Postby illiagorath » Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:50 pm

Had the basis of an idea that I feel would be very fitting to the theme of Town of Salem. The Devil (Possesser)
Essentially their night ability would be to kill whoever the player was before and jump to a new body (Basic attack, Basic Defense)
The Devil would then have the will of the player they jumped into and know the role they were after possessing them.
The Devil can only possess Town members, similar to vampires. Mafia, Coven, and other non-town members will be attacked rather than possessed.
From the possessed member's perspective, they would die as soon as they are possessed. To the rest of the town, the Devil would talk in the name of the person that got possessed. The Possessed townie will still keep their name in dead chat.
After the Devil moves on from their target, town would see the will as written by the original Town member (Devil will not have Forger-like ability)
Similar to old SK rules, an escort or consort that rb's the Devil will then become possessed/killed rather than the Devil's target. A witch or CL would control the Devil as normal.
Sheriff would see the Devil as Susp, both the person that had been possessed as well as the newly possessed townie.
Invest I feel would see Devil added to the Doc,Disg,SK,PM list.
Lookout can see the Devil visiting their targets as normal.

Ideas like this cannot exist. I'm sorry, but there are too many issues that come with this. Incase you didn't know, this is how the Disguiser used to work. They changed the role because Disguisers could get away with racist and other prohibited remarks and not be penalized, but the person he is disguised as would be reported instead.
