Role Idea: The Shapeshifter (Coven Evil)

[DiamondRanger8]

Name: Shape Shifter


Unique: Yes



Alignment: Coven Evil

Attack: None to Unstoppable

Defense: None (None to Invincible with Necronomicon)


Abilities:
On full moon nights, choose if you want to shapeshift as a player. This will tell you they're role.
For the next night, you will use whatever ability they have. For example, if you shapeshift as a Serial Killer, the next night you get basic attack.
With the Necronomicon, you will be able to keep the ability for as long as you want, until you change bodies again. Changing bodies with the Necronomicon will also do a basic attack to the target that night.
You will gain your targets base defense the next night. (With the Necronomicon)

Attributes:
You can not use any day abilities.
You can only shape shift as each person once (With Necronomicon, you can only shape shift as each person once, but you can keep the abilities as long as you want before changing back)

The Coven

Someone else had a role similar to this, but I've had this idea for a while, so I decided to post it anyway. I didn't steal anyone's idea even if they are similar. That out of the way, how is this idea?

It's a good idea. I will say, however, that the necronomicon is supposed to give a consistent kill per night, not a large buff. For example, you can be able to target yourself, and turn into a Basic attacker.

I do sort of like the idea, I'm not sure how well it would play though. It would be very overpowered endgame. Honestly, I'm not sure if this is a good idea overall, as in the end, it feels more like a disguiser that doesn't change results or roles. It takes too long to really get much done because of the night wait between using your ability. With changes, I'd say it might work out okay.

Yeah that makes sense. It still wouldn't be as good as the necromancer though with the basic kill, as maybe they wouldn't be able to use it on non full moon nights, and you'll still visit the target.

Yeah this is sort of supposed to be a Coven Deception type of role, like hex master, but I don't think it'd be too OP in the end game unless you shape shift as a NK or something.

You put Pirate in roles they have to kill btw, also I think that they should deal a basic attack to their target with the necronomicon, since they should have a reliable way to kill with it.

Nice idea. Maybe the shapeshifter will attack the target, then steal the role. This would also give the shapeshifter a reason to switch roles with the Necronomicon instead of just keeping the same role for the rest of the game.

Does this role copy an ability from someone, and then uses it the next night?

Well, that means they can only perform an actual night action one every two nights, which seems pretty underpowred.
Also, the Coven Leader already does this same exact thing, but they can do it every night.

Exactly, but this role is really supposed to get useful with the Necronomicon, as with most of the Coven roles aside from the Coven Leader. The Coven Leader still has it's own place though, with it being able to use a players ability on the same night they control them and being more powerful in more ways, but that's really the same with every Coven role compared to CL imo. But the best part about this role is that like I said, this could be one of 2 sort of deception roles the Coven has, the other being the Hex Master. You can shapeshift into someone, and become confirmed as that role. With the Necronomicon, you can kill every other night, or choose to keep one ability for as long as you want, and also gain the defense of the player you shapeshift as.
