Sometimes people are worried that like if you throw a Body Swap ability into the game....

.....people will use that as an opportunity to say horrible curse words & slurs to get the OG reported O.o

regardless, i do think reviving abilities could work with certain adjustments. this one seems fine IMO.
and i like the ability to talk to the dead too!

I think that is a easy fix by having a message in the trial system say "X swapped bodies with Y"

My main issue with body swaps is that a Town member might not want to "confirm" themselves or even actively contribute to the discussion if they think that an evil role might steal their body and gain credibility. This role doesn't have this issue since the player sacrifices their own body and has a vested interest in blending in with the Town since they want their target to survive.

The reporting thing isn't a huge problem imo since they could add a notification in the trial system or even put some sort of symbol next to the name to indicate that someone else is speaking.
