I believe the role works very well but I don't think that the book-vest is necessary and this is also a buffed Consigliere; because it sees the role of the first-checked.

Possible suggestions for the role:
Make it also swap night notifications.
Remove the Consigliere check.
Remove the auto-vest.
Put it in another Investigator result, Lookout with 2 MD's and an NE just doesn't work.

This would be 2 minor buffs and 2 major nerfs. I think that is enough to make it on the same level as other MD's.

Oh and Consigliere result and Summary could be subject to change but they don't matter much

Or Silver because of my old discord name. Or Mikan because of my new discord name. Or Julian as that's my actual name
