Lore:
The lady walked quietly into the first building in her trip tonight with a broom, dustpan, and other such cleaning supplies. Desperate for cash, she had begun work as a Maid, hoping it would pay well enough to keep her life stable. The lady, quiet as to ensure the owner of the house's peaceful sleep was not interrupted, went from room to room, sweeping and cleaning every inch.

It wasn't paying much, but then again, it wasn't the most stressful or difficult job in the town. She was definitely having a much better time then the Bodyguard found dead last night, or the Vigilante struck with grief after shooting a fellow townie.. As the Maid finished up the last room and prepared to head for the next house on her trip tonight, she heard the door to the building lockpicked. Panicking, she rushed to hide inside of a closet. While the darkness obscured the face of the man who entered, one thing was for sure: he was holding a knife, glittering in the moonlight.

Desperate to ensure her pay tomorrow, she readies her broom and charges, shouting at the Serial Killer. Shocked by the sudden attack, he was caught off guard and ended up dropping his knife onto the floor. Seeing his current situation, he decided his only option was to run. As the Maid saw him jump out of a window she had left open, a thought entered her mind as she shook her head and readied to continue her trip for the night. She really wasn't paid enough for this.

This is just too op, a doctor that heals 3 people.

There’s nothing more to it. It’s just a Doc who can protect 3 people, or just himself and 2 other people. Its power levels are comparable to Jailor and Retributionist.

- You can protect all 3 people if all 3 of them are attacked.

Does that mean you can only protect those 3 if ALL three are attacked?
Such as if all the people you 'serve' are attacked, you protect them. If one isn't, you don't?

Examples of how I am thinking:
- You 'serve' numbers 1, 7 and 14. 1 and 14 are attacked that night, 7 didn't. All three dies.
- You 'serve' numbers 4 and 8. Both are attacked, you saved both.
- You 'serve' numbers 8 and 12. One is attacked, both dies.


That's how I read it, lemme know.

"You cannot target anybody two nights in a row."
i can change the wait from one night to two if it still seems a bit overly good.

Incorrect. It doesnt matter how many are attacked: they're protected. The thing is, choosing more targets means less targets you can protect the next night.

The non-repetition helps, but I think the massive amount of heal spam ensures that the Maid will heal somebody every few nights at least, which is better than staying on one person like the Doctor usually does.

[MoustachioMario]

Make it where it can target only one person

and Maybe this role will sacrifice themselves for their target but know who the killer is (Makes medium more important) :D

Two night wait it is.

Ew. Incredibly medium-reliant not-quite-a-bodyguard-clone. E w.

Two night wait it is.

So the Maid has a 20% chance to prevent a kill the first night, which settles down to a 33% chance after she narrows the town down to 9 non-mafia (either by deaths or by scumreading).

So with the 2-night cooldown, the Maid might get... 2 heals per game? Which is about what you get from a clever doctor (assuming the maf isn't braindead). So, this role seems fair power-wise now, but it still has problems with being a low-skill role - it doesn't take much skill to get up to the 20% and 33% numbers I mentioned, and it's very hard to push your healrate higher than that.

[BasicFourLife]

this role is never gonna work in any scenario expect role madness

[lemonader666]

if all 2/3 people need to be attacked in order for the protection to happen then this is a semi-decent idea i guess
probably still powercreeping onto doctor though

[DemonicKraken]

Alright, let me just point out the thing.

Maid is more powerful with less consistency. Think about this for a moment: Maid is the only TP. Jailor revealed D1 and needs protection. Maid can protect Jailor N1...and then not N2 or N3. Maid can protect several people, yes, but it cant repeat several times on a confirmed role such as a revealed mayor.

heck part of me wants to turn it back to only a one-night wait because of all that but idk

But Doctor can't heal a confirmed mayor at all? So the fact that this role can still protect a revealed mayor sounds like it is a buffed Doctor that can serve 3 people even though it has nonconsecutive "heals".

that's incredibly specific and refers to only one role. so it can heal the mayor sometimes. assuming it's fine if it couldn't heal revealed mayor, then even if it IS a better doc because of the mayor thing, its barely better and differentiates itself.

but honestly its a small thing that doesn't matter all that much imo. but if i really feel like i have too, i could always block it from serving a revealed mayor. but i really dont consider that necessary

[BasicFourLife]

demonic, this role is not gonna work out. please stop. think about this for a moment. if doc was non consecutive it would barely be a nerf to it, but if it could heal 2 people it would be 200% as efficient

Is it not the exact opposite

A 2 night delay isn't nearly enough to outweigh the benefit of being able to heal 2 per night

And the role requires more skill than Doctor because of increase in role utility's dependence on decision making

I am not seeing where you are coming from with this argument

Maybe I just missed what this role's strategy would be. This role is unable to use the Doctor's usual strategy of staying on the most important townie (or the next player in a TP chain), and it would actually get pretty good results from the low-skill strategy of randomly healing as many people as possible each night, so I compared a Maid acting randomly with a Doctor playing skillfully, and wound up with similar numbers.

A Maid acting randomly will quickly fall into a pattern of healing each other player exactly 1 in 3 nights (as soon as that player comes off cooldown), which makes a 33% chance of stopping any given attack (unless the killers can figure out which players the maid is healing on each night).
