Disguiser should be able to forge itself at will.

Basically bringing back Disguiser V2, but more powerful than ever before through giving it manual selection (and letting it still do its Disguiser V3 thing). That is, give it the ability to, at any time, pick a role out of a list (your real Will will be used in any case). If it dies for any reason, it will appear to be the most recent role it selected in the Graveyard.

Right now it's nothing but a terrible hard counter that can actively screw the Mafia solely by it being known that it exists in the round. This ability could, in addition to never letting the word "Disguiser" appear in the Graveyard at all, be used either to provide an explanation for why someone was repeatedly getting visited by the Mafia (coordinate with them in Night Chat to have them pretend to be Blackmailed/roleblocked every night you visit them and set your Self Forge as Blackmailer/Consort so that if you die, their story seems to check out, just make sure you don't try this with the Mafioso or solo Godfather or else you'll blow your cover because of Mafia kills not appearing to be visited, though this is still flawed because if they go down before you, the Spy will become sure there was a Disguiser, though if you camped the other RM exclusively this can be mitigated since they won't be able to pin any other Mafia) or to simply screw up the Graveyard (set your self-forge to your claim if you get lynched so the town thinks they mislynched, or set it to Godfather to disperse some heat toward the real ones).

To prevent this from getting ruined up by an Investigator really easily, your Investigator result will always match your current self-Forge. (So if you get Investigated while you've chosen Consort, an Investigator will see you as Escort/Transporter/Consort/Hypnotist). Be careful to not get investigated, change your self-Forge, then get investigated again or that'll spill your real role since the result is suddenly different with no explanation.
I know what I'm doing, generally, but I have no grace at all when things start to spin out of control.

I'd like to address the latter part, but I wouldn't know the first thing about that.

No, disguiser is finally a useful deception role, and its in a very good state, most disg dont even disguise anyone to see if there is a spy, and anyway if mafia plays good then once disguiser dies its too late to check which of the MVs are mafia, or the disg may not even die in first place

I don't believe that it is for the reasons I outlined. It's on par with the Framer because if there is no Spy then its defining characteristic is worthless, and its secondary characteristic is even more clunky than the original Framer.

That, or you just dont understand how it works

Unframing from sheriff mafia is very strong

The invest thing can buy your teammate a day or two if you know who to disguise

Not to mention that it also decieves LO

(You disg mafioso as sheriff
Mafioso visits A
Sheriff visits B

LO sees mafioso visiting B and sheriff visiting A)

You can safely kill a Jailor with LO alive (if tp is dead of course) if you have a Disguiser, so it's a really good role. Forging yourself like the old Disguiser wasn't a good enough ability on its own, but I'd like to see a role able to do this again as it is still somewhat useful. Forger would be way too op if it had this, but framer maybe? but IDK cause it doesn't really make sense lorewise
