Associate (Mafia Support)
Posted: Wed May 12, 2021 9:00 pm
Role Name:
-Associate
Role Alignment:
-Mafia(Support)
Abilities:
-Choose a mafia member to accompany during the day.
Attributes:
-When you accompany a mafia member their abilities will be enhanced for the night
-You can choose between three different enhancements: Alibi, Efficiency, or Stealth
-You can accompany a member multiple times but you cannot use the same enhancement on them more than once
-You will visit the same target as the member you accompany
-You may instead select yourself during the day to become detection immune for the night
-If there are no kill capable mafia roles left you will become a Mafioso
Notifications:
-You have decided to accompany [member] tonight.
-You have instead decided to accompany [member] tonight.
-You decided to enhance them with [Alibi/Efficiency/Stealth].
-An Associate is accompanying you for the night. Your abilities have been enhanced!
Goal:
-Kill anyone who will not submit to the mafia.
Win Conditions:
-Same as mafia
Special Attributes:
-Unique
Investigator Results:
Sheriff -Your target is suspicious.
Investigator -Your target could be a Spy/Blackmailer/Jailor/Associate
Consigliere -Your target works closely with the mafia. They must be an Associate.
Additional Information:
The different enhancements work as follows:
-Alibi: That mafia member becomes detection immune for the night and their visit is hidden from spies.
-Efficiency: That mafia member can select two targets to perform their action on that night. Cannot be used on any Mafia(Killing) role.
-Feedback: That mafia member will receive any feedback that their target received, similar to a witch.
-Stealth: That mafia member's visit becomes astral that night.
(As the Associate visits the same target as the member they accompany, if they choose the Alibi enhancement their visit will also be hidden from spies. Otherwise that ability would be pointless)
-The Associate needs to visit the same target as the member that they buffed in order for the effect to go through. They will auto target the same person at night, so the only way for this to be changed is to be jailed/rbd/witched. If this happens, or the buffed member is prevented from visiting, the given buff is still used up and cannot be used again.
I was thinking about how there are only a few Mafia Support roles so I wanted to try to create a new one. I figured the best way to support the mafia would be to buff their abilities so I threw this together.
Thanks runningwiththepower for the suggestions! Also added some suggestions from the TG discord.
Edit: Removed the Feedback ability as after hearing some critiques I agree that this role should buff mafia members but not give them whole new abilities.
