I do think we should do something to make the ret not conditionally good based on the medium in order to keep the two roles more balanced. Like maybe only the ret sees the result of their actions? If a sheriff investigates someone, only the ret knows. That way they can't use that info to confirm the ret to the medium. thoughts?
I prefer the idea of having dead Investigatives share their info with the other dead, so the dead have their own conversation in which they figure out all the evils.
This doesn't make the Ret dependent on the Medium at all - it makes the Ret a little better with a Medium, true, but most of the Ret's job can be accomplished by empowering a dead Vigilante or Bodyguard, and hoping they benefit from whatever info the dead TIs got.
This Ret with a Medium would still have less synergy than a Medium with a second Medium.[/quote]
Fair enough. Not only would it be more fun, but it still isn't crazy overpowered. I do think that at the minimum the ret should get the information in some way, as it is more fun and engaging.
Here is what I think would be the best case scenario re-work.
Necro-ret
Each night you may select one dead and grant them the ability to act on any night of their choosing. The results of these actions will be shared with you once they do it. They will get the normal result notification.
Each player may only be selected once.
If they are a killing role (Jailor, vet, vig, vh, etc) they will all act like a vig when targeted.
If they are a protecting role (trapper, BG, or Doc) They will act like a doc.
Mediums get an additional seance.
Mayors may place two votes on someone that will last until the end of the next day.
everyone else acts normally. (transporter can still only transport people who are alive, no OP BG here)
Bonus idea: let the medium use a empowered seance (two charges) to come back to life for a day. (this might be an overpowered medium + trans + ret combo though so probably not)
