Feels basically as an extremely overpowered NE who has enouemus kill potential and 0 chances of backslashing if they play poorly

I could possibly either remove the Bailiff's defense or make it so that the Bailiff has to check to see if their target is town, and then be able to target them. If you're worried about it being an NE.

THE ROLE HAS BEEN CHANGED A LARGE AMOUNT FROM THE PRIOR CRITICISM

CHANGES:

Wincon: Changed to PB/Pest/NK

Warden:
Has unlimited executes
Starts at Powerful Defense

I like the idea of an NC with the traits of a Jailor. However, said role would have to be handled with gloves and finely tuned for balancing issues.

Your visits are direct.

Your attack is astral.

You will perform a visit and an astral attack to a Town member.

Just to clarify: the attack itself is astral, but the visit is not? While this does allow the Bailiff to be checked by Vet and Medusa, it would cause clunky interactions with Crus and BG.

Pest has similar win conditions and therefore has similar raw killing potential that the Bailiff has. However, it is almost always alone in numbers, which is the counter. PB has a "dousing" mechanic that is, in some ways, autonomous. Yes, if somebody visits you, you will infect them. But the PB can also benefit from not using their ability at night to infect somebody else. Most PB/Pest wins are pulled out at the very last second.

Bailiff does not get the benefit of PB's transformation condition. Killing all the town is a cool concept, except for the fact that killing all the town means killing everyone in the uninformed majority. The rest of the evils have most likely figured themselves out by that late in the game, and the Warden becomes an easy lynch. It would likely be prioritized for lynching the same way Pest is: "We're all evil and from different factions, but this one evil can kill us all, so let's take care of that first." By the time you're Warden, Mafia will be saying GG and thanking you for the help.

It wouldn't be so much of an issue if the Bailiff could kill evils, but the way I'm interpreting this post is that you cannot kill any evils at night until you are the Warden, unless you get lucky with a Consort.

The only way that I can see this "evil majority by the time you have all your power" thing being resolved is by giving either the Bailiff or Warden (or both) Rampage. Rampage on Bailiff might work, as it could kill visiting mafia/coven members who had the same target as the Bailiff that night. But by the time you're the Warden, people will know better than to visit you.

This role is quite weird, why bother with town investigator results and stuff like that if you gotta kill all town to become warden? and unlike plaguebearer, once you become warden you KPN is still at 1, the only difference being that you can no kill any player (which didn't matter all that much since you already had a basic/powerful/unstoppable attack as bailiff)

Sorry but as it is currently, I am not a fan of this role.
