Role Idea: NK, The Thanatologist[name pending]

Postby jeremy456 » Wed Oct 06, 2021 8:24 pm

I keep hearing about roles that change cause of death, mainly for the mafia, but I feel that if the mafia dont kill and someone dies, they could suspect it's actually mafia and ignore it. So what if it's just basically an SK but with this abiliy. Well here you go!

Role Name:The Thanatologist[Name Pending]


Role Alignment:Nuetral Killing


Abilities:
Kill someone and disguise their death.
Basic Attack
Basic Defense

Attributes:
Every night, kill someone and change their cause of death


Notifications:
You have decided to kill [Player name]
You decides to make them die by [Insert a Death]

Goal:Be the last one alive


Win Conditions:
Must Kill: Town,Mafia,Coven and other Nuetrals minus Benign

Special Attributes:
Priority:Same as SK
Not Immune to RB/Control

Investigator Results:
Sheriff - Suspicous
Investigator -Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, Potion Master, or Thanatologist
Consigliere -Your target messes with death, they must be a Thanatolgist

Achievements:
Uncertainty: Win one game as The Thanatologist
Deceit:Win five games as The Thanatologist
Bamboozle:Win ten games as The Thanatologist
Master of Deceit: Win twenty five games as The Thanatologist

Frame Job: Disguse a kill as a Mafia kill(Mafia knows of your existence, Town, if there was 2 "Mafia" kills
Fake Justice: Disguise a kill as a Vigilante or Jailor (Jailor can CC, and you will be revealed if the target killed was a Townie, and no Vigilante dies)
New God: Disguise a kill as Pestilence(immediatly reveals you if there is no Pestilence)



Additional Information:
Has a death note
Can use ANY death measage [haunted by Jester, Obliterated by Pestillance, Killed by Jailor, etc]

If using any TK[minus Jailor], doesnt show Death Note(since they dont have one)
If using Jailor, use their Death Note, only on the Default Option


Lore:
The Thanatologist was, at first, a normal Doctor, healing wounds every other day, until finally, he saw a victim of an Arsonist, how easy it would be to burn someone, how easy to fake someones cause of death. He had an idea. He always was near dead people, and saw people's injuries, so he knows what they look like. At night, he walks to a random townies house, and subdues them. He then messes with their body, adding fake wounds, and kills them, then leaves. The next morning, the Town is now thinking a new Serial Killer is about.

Any suggestion, Underpowered? Useless? Other suggestion, or questions.

Yeah this is functionally very similar to Serial Killer and I don't really see a reason to vouch for it.

Also, in win conditions you should just say "kill Neutral Killing and Chaos", you still win with Jesters/Exes/Witches
