Enchantress (Coven Evil)

Postby Cookazoo2 » Mon May 10, 2021 8:59 am

Enchantress (Coven Evil)
ATTACK: None (Basic with Necronomicon) || DEFENSE: None
— Dazzle someone at night, convincing them they were roleblocked.
Code: Select all
Someone occupied your night. You were role blocked!

— Their night action will succeed, however, any night feedback, related or unrelated to their night action, will be sent to you instead.
— With the Necronomicon, your roleblock becomes real and you will steal any night feedback that they might have gotten should their action have succeeded.
— With the Necronomicon, you gain a coin ability to also attack your target.

Sheriff sees: Suspicious // Not Suspicious (with Necronomicon)
Investigator sees: Escort, Consort, Transporter, Hypnotist, Enchantress
Consigliere sees: Your target is able to convince people of anything. They must be an Enchantress!

-----

Example:

Enchantress Mary Warren targets John Hathorne the Investigator, who was poisoned and targeted Giles Corey the Werewolf. Enchantress is attacked by a Mafioso but the Potion Master healed Enchantress.

Enchantress sees:
Code: Select all
You were attacked but someone nursed you back to health!
You stole the following information from your target:
Your target could be a Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf, or Poisoner.
You were poisoned! You will die tomorrow unless you are cured!


Investigator sees:
Code: Select all
Someone occupied your night. You were role blocked!


Werewolf sees:
Code: Select all
nothing


Mafioso sees:
Code: Select all
Your target's defense was too strong to kill.


Potion Master sees:
Code: Select all
Your target was attacked last night!


Enchantress survives.
Investigator is poisoned but doesn't know.
Mafioso fails to kill the Enchantress.

The purpose of this role is to give Coven a proper Escort fake claim, something which they have never had. In all non-Mafia Coven modes, Escort and Transporter claims are guaranteed to be Town if they can roleblock or transport a confirmed Townie. This is part of a greater problem with Coven but I attempted to solve some of it.

I am open to this role being added to the Role Idea Championships. PM me if you'd like to nominate it.

this is a nerfed CL...the only thing that MIGHT make it preferable over CL is the roleblock message, which isnt worth it

currently no coven member can claim escort.

that in of itself makes it preferable.

Why not make a Coven role that actually roleblocks? Like Hypno, this role can't really do anything. All it could do is roleblock TI roles, which makes it somewhat strong against TI roles but weak against everything else. Aside from being weak, that doesn't fit well with the Coven theme since it has no kill power without the Necronomicon and stealing TI results can be considered a form of deception, which is the Mafia's strongsuit.

But this role is different from that one. Personally, I prefer the version that I linked since it's more powerful, but all Coven roles should have some inconsistent kill power without the Necronomicon imo.

I like this role in regards to the whole "stealing & knowing night information" but I will echo the others insofar that I think it is a bit UnderPowered

Maybe you could keep the base idea but Orient it in a way to make it more akin to a Coven!Hypno? Like for example maybe Enchantress can choose what message will be displayed to their target, just like the actual Hypno. And with the Necro, that action becomes real??

Just brainstorming. Like I said, I think the idea has potential--with some edits :)


Also. I LOVE that you gave an Example <3 super useful, thank youuuuu :D
