- You said you changed the Mutations system, but what you typed under Devout doesn't... sound like English. It makes no sense. And you didn't change the Mutations tab down lower either, so I have no idea what you actually did.
- As for the Necromancer... the name implies that they bring people back from the dead. If you're actually going Greek, can I suggest the name Ferryman or Charon instead? Charon was the Ferryman that took people into the Underworld over the River Styx, in Greek mythology. Not a big deal, just a thought.
- As for the Necromancer's other ability... I dunno. I see you have nobody that can hear whispers, maybe give them that ability... aaaaand... one other low-level ability. Basically make them a listener to Whispers, Cult, and Dead chat, with some other minor ability? Not sure man.

- I reworded it for somebody of a... "lower IQ" :lol: It might not have made since but I understood. Basically you can get 1 mutation for every 2 deformities, then you can delete a deformity every non-full moon, no numbers and the mutations were updated...
- Well the name should be representive of what they do. Like naming a role Jesus, and can bring people back from the dead, instead of Retributionist. Like you are that role not that player, or at least that is the style currently in game.
- I like it, it's the Listener! xD I'll think of a better name but basically they hear every talking in game.

It's just for communication. How do you know that's not what the role does at night? Spoiler alert: you don't.

Ah, the spirit, not the body. They are a dead person so the way i would picture that is with a ghost floating around or something. But yea i saw the definition and thought of that. Do you think it would be ok still to be a Necromancer and be able to hear all whispers?

If Necromancer can read whispers as well as see the dead chat, I think that's plenty strong.

As a listener: maybe they can hear anything said by anyone during the night phase, but it is in the order it is said and the "name" always just says "Voice" - so they can hear jailor chat and dead chat and cult chat and whispers (and maybe anything people say to the darkness in general at night) but they have no indication who said what.

I don't think that's a good idea at all. For one, no role needs to see the Jailor chat, and for two, I think whispers and dead chat is enough. If people could talk at night even without a night chat then they could completely render the Necromancer useless, or gamethrow easily.

So he's talking on the dead chat with people who have their dead names and stuff acting all medium. Voices also talk too.
"Role"
"Escort"
(Tells the mafia that they should mutate the ability to not be roleblocked)
"Say the word waffle in chat if you trust me"
Next day: "Waffle"
(Now the Jailor has been found, and the escort is useless)

So then the meta of confirming the Jailor is destroyed, which I think is fair, and this becomes an investigative class as it can find information. I feel like tis could be good, but maybe can only hear Jailor on full moons? Because being a medium, hearing whispers, AND jailor chat could be too powerful. What would you guys think after that?

I mean why not hear the jailor chat? Why would people talk? About he also gets the ability to scare the jailor, maybe he doesn't want to make any players at night because then the Cult might know if they have a Necromancer. Kind've like the anti-spy

It doesn't need to hear the Jailor chat.
Medium is fine as is, and you copied the Medium, why isn't your role fine then?
I get it, since Town has a majority and whatnot, the role could be stronger. So whisper reading.
That's enough.

Alright since you get it. :lol: You have a point

So the only things I have left that I'm not confident about, other than more roles:
- Check out my investigative results in the faction info, might make it by itself because it is really big.
- What do you guys think about the lore i have at the bottom?
- Do you guys think that having the Enforcer(Mafioso) replace your role after the killing dies is a good thing or not? It is basically a direct copy from the mafia, not proud of it but it works. Any better ideas? Or ok?
- Does anybody have anything extra that could be put into the mutations? Right now there are only 4 each, so it is easily possible that the Devout will run out of things to mutate.
- I doubt anybody will care about this one but, any roles? Or really role ideas I could work around to create a new role? I'm a bit dried out, I was never too creative.

I can't find the invest results. maybe I'm not looking in the right places

The lore: just replace Syncja with Hekate and you're probably all good. Ultimately, this is faction design, not creative writing so its not really a massive issue.

enforcer is OK until/unless someone has a better idea. I feel like the name "Cutthroat" fits with the cult better, but otherwise, mafioso is a tried and tested role. It works. that makes it a decent stand-in.

Mafioso works until you realize it doesn't, because Tactical Mafia Kills should be a feature.
Cutthroat sounds like bandit or pirate to me, and those don't sound like what you'd want in a cult.

The investigative results are in the faction info at the very top, at the bottom of that section.

Ywa then it's all cool? Did you see it or just saying?

I like that name better, but yea I agree

I see them now.

Makes sense, but... why is the mafia there? is it that you want to leave it unclear whether a particular game has mafia or cult?

I also feel that one of the Cult roles should go in with Spy Bm and Jailor, or, when the town finds out its a Cult game, that invest result will be a guaranteed (and sometimes very powerful) townie.

Ill put the Necromancer there then. And I have the mafia there because a gamemode could exist with both mafia and cult, like all any(Not ranked or anything). But investigator cant confirm literally anything if he finds it like that so yea it stays unclear

Oh and I do want to point out that the way I see it is that I'm 4 roles short of total completetion. 1 role for each investigstive result without a Cultist in it, so don't be super worried about there being unused ones as they will be filled by the time of completion.

You're not four roles short. You have seven roles, Mafia has nine. I wouldn't worry about making sure every investigative result has one; they could very well change the way investigative results work at some point, rendering that moot. I'd just make sure you have the same number as Mafia to make sure it will always work. Only two short.

Comparing Cult roles to Maf roles, and assuming that each Maf role has a rough equivalent in the Cult, what you're missing is a Forger equivalent (something that messes with wills) and a Disguiser (kind of replaced by Sophist)

He shouldn't just try to copy Mafia roles. I didn't do a Forger or Disguiser in Bratva either. I did things that made sense to balance within the faction.

I understand, and if there are better ideas, then that's GREAT. But working with modifying and renaming existing roles is something that you could do to fill roles when you're short on ideas - they're already decently balanced and you don't have to make up mechanics from scratch.

Alright so what do you think of this idea? No name yet, just the idea.
At night my choose 1 player. May guess 2 roles that this player is. If one guess is right, then the player will night be ablw to use his night ability.
For example:
Jailor will still jail because it is a day ability, but cannot kill anymore.
Wont affect the mayor because he only has a day ability
Doctor can no longer heal
Escort cant roleblock
Investigator cannot investigate

I was thinking either having 4 uses, or giving 2 and you dont lose a charge if you are right

Do you mean they'll never be able to use their night ability, or is it just for that night? If it's never, then hell no it's way too OP, and if it's just for that night then it's way too UP.
