Additional Notes:
Overpowered killing mixed with only being able to kill select groups of people and having to eliminate people you can't directly kill makes for an interesting role.
The ability to fake a Cause of Death message makes it so the Purge can fake the existence of a NK role, however the Town can spot a pattern that these kills only happen to evil roles and people who visited a specific person. It can also be easily revealed if the victim's role shouldn't be able to die to the chosen cause, such as a role with Basic Defense dying to SK (as Purge does a Powerful Attack).
