can use ww potion to kill mult ppl has arsos powerful attack on any player can hide in the shadows claim really anything they want "confirm" themselves as doc AND give them selves powerful defence a good balance is to give him no defense just saying

Hmm.. are you intending to keep this role only in coven? If no, then /nosupport because it will be a dead giveaway that there's a mad scientist present. Is there going to be a cooldown for some of the potions (like you use explosive potion and you can't use it for the next 2 nights)

A more diverse and powerful set of attacks alongside no defense is not balanced. The player has to predict exactly when they will be attacked, and even if they do so successfully, they are completely vulnerable on the next night because they have to restock their potions. Basic defense for a Neutral Killing is a necessity.

Other parts of the role that need changing:
- Incorporates Rampage, an extremely swingy and unbalanced mechanic.
- Shares an invstigative result with another Neutral Killing.

It can give itself a doc heal which is a powerful defense

by doing that he would likely waste a killing night. besides, he can get killed randomly, others NKs could survive that but this role... well RIP
