My take on the evil Retributionist, found this more balanced

[Chemist1422]

By evil you mean Mafia/Coven or this can revive NEs/NKs/NCs/GAs too? I like the idea tho

It can revive any role that doesn’t win with town. So any neutral but NBs/Pirate

[Determinus]

This is literally just Necromancer. No changes other than flavor.

The role idea was used in TG before and didn't work out

[rdoukkali]

I like this role, especially since it acts as a powerful nerf to Retri.
Problem is, RevengeoftheRaccpon is right about it having the same problems as the old Disguiser, as it messes up reports and the trial system.

But from what I understand, does it work like this?

Graveyard:
Andy-Bodyguard
Bobby-Mafioso

You select Bobby and Andy

Then the town gets the message
“Andy has been revived”

But Bobby is in control of his body
Is that how it would work out?

Just wandering, Bobby would still have his ability, right?
Could create a problem with reviving uniques, but that’s a different issue.

I believe that Parallax created a role with almost the same properties (the Necromorph?). The role was once in/is in Testing Grounds already.

I would really like to know why removed roles were removed from TG. It might be useful for most of us to learn from other's mistakes when it comes to making roles, and it would be interesting to see if we can find the mistakes which make a role which looks good on paper bad for the game.

Yes, this is Necromancer, Necromorph was merely channelling abilities through the Necromorph's body. Retributionist is not great anyway, why make a copycat evil role.

This violates the role guidelines, you can't change other people's roles.

This isn’t changing their role, I think its basically an evil revive but it says it’s revived a townie.
Eg
Graveyard:
Susan the Consort
Danny the Investigator

Day 3:
Danny has been brought back to life!
Danny: Hey Everyone, thanks ret.

Night 3:
Susan: Hey Guys, it’s me!
Josh: Oh, a revivalist. Nice.
Bob: Kk, rb the vig tonight.
*You have decided to roleblock Michael tonight*


Well, maf would probably know who you are the second you get revived, but this is how I understand it to work.

^ That.

However, apparently this role has already been in TG, so an RI mod can just shut it down now.
