Role ideas: The Juggler and The Sandman

Postby intimacy » Sat Jun 30, 2018 10:53 am

Juggler (Neutral Killing)
Attack: Basic
Defence: Basic
Ability:
- You may choose to attack a player each night.
Attributes:
- You may throw an explosive at a target every night.
- The explosive will be passed to your target's target, and so on, until the chain ends.
- If your target is targeting you, it will explode on you.
- If your target is jailed, it will explode outside of the cell.
Goal:
Kill everyone who would oppose you.


basically, the juggler throws an explosive at a target. the explosive is passed (juggled) from target to target until it explodes. it essentially creates a chain. juggler needs to correctly deciper information in order to kill targets.

example 1: juggler throws explosive at ESCORT. escort is roleblocking INVESTIGATOR. the explosive is passed to escort's target (invest). investigator dies.

example 2: juggler throws an explosive at SHERIFF. sheriff is targeting TRAPPER. explosive is passed to trapper. trapper is targeting DOCTOR. explosive is passed to doctor. doctor is targeting MAFIOSO. target is passed to mafioso. mafioso is targeting ESCORT. target is passed to escort. escort is roleblocking INVESTIGATOR. the explosive is passed to escort's target (invest). investigator dies even if they were targeting anyone.

example 3: juggler throws an explosive at GODFATHER. godfather is targeting juggler. explosive is passed to JUGGLER. juggler lives.

example 4: juggler throws an explosive at JAILOR. if jailor is targeting someone, the explosive will be passed on to who they are executing. if the jailor is not targeting anyone, the explosive will go off on the jailor.

healing roles:
if a doc is targeting someone, the target would still live since they are being healed (unless they were targeting someone, in which case it would be passed on)
if a bg it targeting someone, he would keep the explosive and die rather than pass it on. likewise, if there is a bg on someone who is not targeting anyone, the bg would take the explosive and die in his place.
if a crusader is targeting someone, it would be passed on and the target would not die due to the powerful defense given by the crusader.
if a trapper is targeting someone, the target would die because the explosive is not a person.

Sandman (Neutral Killing)
Attack: Unstoppable
Defence: None
Ability:
- You may choose to throw sleeping powder at a player.
Attributes:
- You may choose to throw sleeping powder, putting players in limbo.
- Each throw results in the player remaining in limbo.
- If you die, the players will be taken out of limbo.
Goal:
Kill everyone who would oppose you.


basically, the sandman would throw sand at the player and the player would be taken into limbo. it would 1) roleblock them, and 2) prevent them from voting/viewing day and night chat. it takes them to a chat called limbo, where they can talk with other people who are also in limbo. the character would be able to leave the house, but the actual player would not be able to see what is going on. they would remain silent for that day.

if the sandman dies, then every player who has been placed in limbo will awaken immediately. otherwise, they remain in the separate chat. townies will be sus of players who don't talk at all, and the sandman will need to keep track of who is in limbo.

I really like the Juggler idea, but in one example the Juggler lived when his explosive traveled back to him. Bit the description states that the Juggler dies if it is passed back. Also, I dislike your Sandman role because it seems a bit too overpowered as he can do this every night, so he can easily put half the town in limbo before they find him. Limbo can be easily faked as well. The limbo chat serves little purpose anyways.
ALSO also, what happens if the explosive is thrown to someone, thrown to their target and their target is targeting the Juggler's original target?

Juggler: I like it
Sandman: I don't like it.

EDIT: Nevermind, Juggler has basic defense. But maybe instead of having basic defense, when he receives his own explosive he throws it to a random target?

This is the last image the brain produces upon death. Could this be God himself?
