Warlock Neutral(Evil) (10,000+) {GET IN THE GAME}

[Parallax7]

With the role's acceptance to the Testing Grounds, and the support shown for this role, I felt it'd be appropriate to "remaster" the role, and update it. Not only to make it more "approachable", but also cover the Coven expansion, Testing Grounds, and vanilla Town of Salem. So without further ado here is Warlock 3.0!

#SideNote: I spent a large amount of time redoing this, so please respect that and me, thank you immensely!

Warlock’s Test Results:
Spoiler: Test 1
There have been additional tests; unfortunately as a result of carelessness and neglect of Testing Grounds host(s) - they have been lost. Warlock has preformed well, and as a former TG moderator, I approve it to be in the game!

Stats
Offense: None

Special Attributes
-Detection Immunity.
How it works Spoiler: There are three processes

• Curse one player, and then select another player. The player on the left of the panel is who you're cursing, the player on the right is your secondary target, who you're tying you're primary target's fate to.
• (Primary) Whatever happens to the secondary target will also happen to the primary target.
• (Secondary) whoever visits your secondary target will also target the primary target.

Additional Information Spoiler:

• Unlike Distributor, this doesnt make both sides have the same affect on the other, it's a one way Distributor.
• Cursing is only in affect the night Warlock performs the curse.
• Warlock is control immune.
• Warlock is curse immune.
• Warlock is a unique role.
• Warlock cannot tie a player to the same player's fate, the curse will fail.
• Warlock cannot curse itself.
• A Warlock may however tie a player to the Warlock's fate.
• Transporter can change both the secondary target and primary target.
• To protect the balance and integrity of the game, some roles will not be affected by curses, they're called exceptions I will elaborate more so on them below.
• It worth noting a player tied to the same fate of another doesn't disregard defense stats. For example, tying Godfather to someone who is attacked will only kill the Godfather if the attack is at minimum powerful.
• Since this role only affects roles that are visit capable, roles such as Survivor being cursed, will still be able to wear their vest, but Bodyguard will not be able to. Although there are exceptions, such as Jester.
• If the Warlock doesn't tie a player to another's fate, nothing will happen. In Layman's terms if you don't select two players nothing will happen.

Exceptions
Spoiler: Jailor
Though Jailor's execution is 5th priority, tying someone to the same fate of someone executed will not cause both to die. This is because a player must be jailed to be executed.
Disgusier
You cannot disguise as multiple roles, can you?
Vampire
This one is situational. Under normal circumstance a Vampire will convert both the primary & secondary target. However, if the conversion will lead to a surplus of Vampires, it will not happen.
Medium
Seancing is first priority anyways, but thought I'd bring this one up.
Veteran
One must visit the Veteran in order to die, it's that simple.
Bodyguard
Bodyguard's counterattack won't kill the cursed player.
Risidual Affects
These are self explanatory. If a role has limited abilities, such as bullets, forgeries, cleans, etc... it will only affect the secondary target (if) they have one of their respective limited ability(s) left. Leaving the cursed player unvisited.

Lore
Spoiler: The Warlock sighed opening a letter, claimed to be from a long lost relative. His eyes widening as his optics traveled through the passionate words. It was a story. A story provided by a sad, ugly, and bitter Witch. One who had endured years of punishment from a prejudiced Town. In an effort to reach her goal of destroying the Town, she used her magic to reach out to a relative. This relative was the Warlock, tied to the same family line as the Witch; explaining his magical abilities. Feeling compelled to help his relative he transversed the land and sea to accompany his beloved long-lost sister. When the Warlock finally reached the small town, it was late and there on platform was a pole with a noose. The male's eyes traveled up the execution device, instantly identifying a gruesome scene. There hang his lost sister, a lifeless Witch. Beautiful in all her hideousness. The Warlock balled up his fist and at that moment he took over her initiative of destroying the town. He'd avenge his sister. Even if it killed him.

I really like this role, and so do other users. It will be tested in TG, and I've asked for it to be tested in FM. Until then keep voting for it to be added! I will pursue its addition more directly once I get results. Please vote in the poll to support this role, I promise will pursue its addition into the game once it's officially tested in Testing Grounds and the results are published!
Thank you so much in advanced, you guys are awesome!

I don't have the time to do a full review right now, but from what I gathered, I think this role is very unique and I like the gimmick, though it is a bit UP and OP at the same time, depending on the situation... Could you give an example of results that investigative roles would see if they visited a vulnerable person along with their regular person, like the sheriff and the investigator?

Also one more thing, this could end up being a bit town sided, giving investigators two results in one night.

Sure!

Spoiler: Investigator
You will receive the normal results you would have had gotten from your target, but then you'd receive the bystander's list of roles they could be as well. (not necessarily in that order)

Sheriff:
Your target was a member of the mafia, *que the bystander message* your target was not suspicious.

It basically scrambles the results, as now Investigative roles will be unsure which result was their original target. Considering it's first priority they will receive the bystander message then the results of both their target and the bystander. In short, even though it provides another set of results, it's still doing about the same amount of harm by adding uncertainty. I also didn't intend for this to be "swingy."

Example:
"You noticed a vulnerable bystander, so you investigated/interrogated them!"
"Your target owns weapons..."
"Your target is not afraid to get their hands dirty..."
Wait...Which one is my original target?
"Your target is not suspicious."
"Your target is a Serial Killer!"
WHICH IS WHICH?!

This in essence could lead to a mislycnh in desperation. Like all NE roles this makes the town think twice before doing certain actions. It's great at doing so, FYI.

[HereThereEverywhere]

What's the "standard failure to visit message"?

[Parallax7]

What's the "standard failure to visit message"?

"You visited their house, but the vandalism prohibited you from continuing."

Is that your only problem? Lol

[Gooose26]

I dont understand this, "may not be targetted directly" thing. And can you just explain what happens in general. This is really confusing

[Parallax7]

It's simple:

If Serial Killer visits Target A, and so did The Vandalizer, Target A will not be effected. This applies to most visiting role preforming their night ability on a Vandalized target. The only way to successfully use your night ability on a Vandalized target is by using your night ability on either of their closest neighbors. As the same action that happens to them will also happen to a Vandalized target. It's simpler than it's made out to be.

[AegonSnow]

This is a joke right?


A role that solely counters night immunes.

[Parallax7]

You completely, utterly, failed to comprehend the concept of this role. It's role is to increase the town's awareness as well as assist all other non-Town roles obliterate the faction it must kill. Did you even read it?

[Gooose26]

This stops killing from taking place at times, and stops night immunity? Why xD Maybe if he could whisper without spy seeing, because then he can give evils double kills... but this is really a neutral chaos in general

[Parallax7]

I need to know though, is this broken? It doesn't strip night immunity FYI, if you're night immune you can not be killed or converted at night regardless of whether or not you're vulnerable and your neighbor is attacked.
Also, yes it does stop killing. It's done intentionally, as both a protection and strategy.

Doesn't only add double kills.
-Encouraged Vigilantee to Suicide (So three kills.)
-Multiple Douses

It has more uses than just adding deaths.

[Gooose26]

I think this is a pretty good role honestly. Without spy to keep from whispering 100% strategy this could be broken AF, but in general you cant rely on whispering so it wont happen too much. The other part of that is that you cant really find the mafia, but if you do you will win. Same goes with any evil role

But yea this is pretty good though

THIS ROLE HAS BEEN *HEAVILY* UPDATED!

[bintin125]

I'd actually really like to see this role implemented into the game. It's really creative and original, but it's not too outlandish. This could really mess with the Town, but it could still mess with the evil roles a bit. And then there are those "paradoxes". But if you could clean those up and give it a more surefire way to find evil roles and side with them, this would be great role!

Thanks, and I will think of something. I'm not entirely sure how to fix those paradoxes. They'd just do nothing upon there being a bystander in their original target's house. Lol.

[alex1234321]

This role is kind of similar to Windblqde's Distrubutor which nearly made it to the TG. The main difference is that people who target this role's first target get roleblocked rather than targeting both targets, which could allow for different strategies. The reason why I did not support Distributor making it into the TG was because I thought it was too similar to Witch, but now that I look back at my reasons for disliking it, they make no sense.

[Parallax7]

Thanks, I'm guessing you support this role? (':

[Spectre0]

Someone made a role very similar for the role idea tourney, and my issues with this are the same.

This will never be able to reliably help evils. The best it can do is screw investigation results, and mafia already have a person for that.

No, it can't.

Witch has a manner of investigation. It can find evils on its own, and since its ability isn't silenced it can then confirm itself to evil.

Yes. The concept is solid, so if you could give it a reliable way of working with evils this could turn into a top-quality role.

[Fenraiser]

I think it is pretty good.
As a neutral evil, I would say the Vandalizer would be a tad overpowered, but because the role has to use their wits deduce potential allies (as the role has no investigative function), that is not a problem. It would help the evil factions more than it would do the town in that more often than not, it can screw spies, transporters, docs, bodyguards and aid in neutral killing more than help the town. So, it is a role that grows stronger the longer the game gets as it takes up information.

Overall, the vandalizer looks like a great role and addition to the neutral evils.

It is true that the Vandalizer's method for communicating with evils is not so strong at the moment. BUT, I strongly suggest against giving it any investigative action like the witch. It can be subtle like with jesters or executioners

Notes:

1. Can veterans still kill the vandalizer when the Vandalizer chooses to visit said veteran on alert?
2. As for the investigator and consigliore, is receiving 2 results for 2 targets what would occur or am I getting this wrong?[* ]
