I like the concept, but I don't see this role being very useful. Usually when someone visits you it means you're gonna get killed lol. Maybe if this role had more investigative results, since he doesn't actually leave his home to investigate?

I don't like that this role uses RNG. I know Lookout uses a similar mechanic, but RNG should not be used in skill-based games like Town of Salem because there could be situations where the outcome of the game depends on which players someone sees visiting, which is based on luck. Instead, the role should either be able to see all players or certain players based on a priority ranking (like maybe it should see TP before TK but TK before MK for example). Even with that change, this role would basically be an underpowered Lookout. Maybe you can give it more information like the Investigator result of players who visit, but that might be tough to fakeclaim as scum.

This role is really pointless, it's job is to feed info like medium which isn't very skillful, as you can't even do anything but wait. And as Alex said, it's got RNG which is also bad.
