I'm honestly a bit confused on how this works. Could you make a simulated gameplay to clarify it?

Sure

N1:
Malpractitioner targets the Escort
Escort targets the Investigator

D2:
Investigator wasn't roleblocked

N2:
Malpractitioner targets someone else or no one
Escort targets the Serial Killer

D3:
Investigator is roleblocked
Serial Killer isn't roleblocked

Oh okay, I get it. So basically it delays the action they were going to do.

I like this idea, and it would fit right in with the mafia. It could be very useful at deterring sheriffs and investigators, at least for a while.

I've made it a little more understandable, I think that's why people weren't responding

He basically delays other peoples actions... Very interesting indeed! Could be a very useful Mafia role!

Is it correct to assume that the tortured roles realize that they are being tortured save for TI's? I just want to see the role's confirmability.

I think it would be good not to make it easily confirmable. I say that the tortured targets should get a role-blocking notification. Doing so would give the role a potential cover (temporarily). But the suggestion might be iffy as escort already has a mafia counterpart.

You could potentially lop the investgative result into the escort, transporter, or consort results.

The role seems pretty good.

I think I will either have the target receive no notification or the roleblocked one

i think this will do better as a neutral evil rather than a mafia

so am i correct to assume if a doctor was tortured twice then its stoped the night its stoped it would heal the two people it tried to heal before in the same night?

i dont see how this is better then the consort only bad sititions i can think of is vet alerting on a night he doesn't want to casue it was delayed or a doc healing a mafia member on a night they wouldn't have normally healed them

and isnt vet immune to being rbed anyway

i guess stopping jailor from jailing somone and mayor from revealing is the only difference from consort that makes it better then consort

i dont see anyway its hurts town by delaying its actions it seems strictly a worse verison of consort.

could you give an example when this is better then consort excluding blocking day abilities?

Well, I was considering having it so all the stored actions are released but now I think it would be better if only the most recent action is released and the other stored actions are roleblocked. This is because I think the MP should get something in return for going out of its way to torture the same target

Not sure if I should keep it to be able to delay Day actions, I would say no as it becomes a hard counter to the Jailor

i still dont see how it can be better then consort

getting rid of those things are its only differences to it take them away its a worse cosnort

also cant think of instance where dealying a town member hurts town in a bad way besides rbing them it really does seem like a worse consort to me sorry

If it replaced the Consort, I think that it could work well, since it would fulfill the same overall purpose without having an ability that already exists. No complaints on the functional side of things.

Well, when you do delay an action and the action is then released it usurps the action you wanted to do that night however with the Consort the action is still performed the night after the RB

Example with Consort:
A = Consort
B = Vigilante
C = Doctor

N1:
A roleblocks B
B kills C however is roleblocked

N2:
A roleblocks C
B doesn't kill and C doesn't die

Example with Mal:
A = Malpractitioner
B = Vigilante
C = Doctor

N1:
A tortures B
B kills C however is blocked

N2:
A tortures C
B doesn't kill but their action is usurped by the previous action, killing C

It essentially roleblocks someone for 2 nights. I do not think the malpracticioner should target a person more than once, as that seems it can prevent chosen actions for 4 nights (if I read it right).

What happens if the target C dies? Where does the action get redirected? Does B get roleblocked instead, or will B get to choose?

It doesn't roleblock for two nights, it roleblocks the first night and then the second night the action which was going to be used on the first night usurps the action chosen for the second night instead which doesn't really qualify for a roleblock

And you didn't really get the next bit right either, it can roleblock a maximum of 2 nights and then the third is when the stored action is released which is again not really a roleblock

If target C dies N1 then the stored action will have no effect, it would still be directed to C but because they are not living they cannot be effected. So yes B gets roleblocked instead, having it so it gets to pick destroys the role's power

Thanks for clearing it up. I understand it better now.

again i dont see how this is better then consort i cant think of sitution where delaying an action is better then just stopping it

if there is one an example would be nice

Well in my example a few posts above with Vigilante, in Day 2 the Vigilante could have realised that their target, the Doctor, was actually Town and doesn't shoot on Night 2 but because they were tortured they still attack the Doctor

It does need a very slight buff though, I'll think of something

So it's basically a buffed Consort that can distract Witches, Escorts, Mayor and Jailer?

KyoDaz wrote:So it's basically a buffed Consort that can distract Witches, Escorts, Mayor and Jailer?

It's not buffed since the action always occurs (unless there are multiple tortures on people) but that is balanced with the fact that it can roleblock Witches and Escorts (not Jailors or Mayors) and that the stored action usurps the next intended action

i mean thats it though its to much like consort but seems weaker i agree needs a buff or changed to distinguish it from consort

Maybe their target dies if they have 3 or more stored actions when you stop?

Cause so much pain and torture

I can only imagine one issue with this role, I imagine that it could potentially only have a large effect on Vigilante, Town Investigatives, and Jailor which is quite a limited number of roles, so basically it is a worse consort to most other roles and it would have just as much usability as a framer, which is not a lot.
