(thank you Faction Development on Discord for helping name and balance)(https://discord.gg/mgAE83C)

Spirit faction – aim: Survive until day 8

Basics –
Spirit Survival – Max 1 in game, they are the person who needs to survive until day 8 (if they die, spirits lose)
Spirit Confusion – These are the ones that give fake results to people / other disrupting actions
Spirit Damage – The ones that can kill / damage a role of players
Spirit Control – The ones that can control players / other actions

Main Idea -
The faction can talk to eachover even when dead. All roles other than the survival roles get stronger / have their ability activate in death. The faction wins 2 ways. All enemies are dead or Day 8 arrives. Yes the damage roles can kill / render someone useless, but this faction does not have a way to constantly kill

Points taken from 1 person on TG Discord -
Eraser - Its too much like a janitor / forger and people will end up using note to combat it
Faithful - lacks specialty
Maryr seems too op

Link the server bb.

for one the needs a name what about the summoner or the lich

Mystoc wrote:for one the needs a name what about the summoner or the lich

I used summoner

the faction itself sounds cool idea to stall game and it secondary power is to kill i also like the idea of getting abilities after you die

while i like the faction concept i don't know if each role in the faction is balanced

i will look and review each one later (theres a lot of them)

Phantom-spy/bmer/jailor
Eraser-lookout/forger/amnesiac
Disruptor-escort/consort/transporter
Memento-framer/vampire/jester
Soulbinder-sheriff/executioner/werewolf
Faithful-investigator/consigliere/mayor
Summoner-medium/janitor/retributionist
Martyr-Bodyguard/Godfather/Arsonist
Haunter-Survivor/Vampire hunter/witch
Wanderer-doctor/disguiser/Serial killer
Channeller-doctor/disguiser/Serial killer (doesnt matter for him anyway)

Used this but i put wandere as invest/consig/mayor (for a claim) and faiful as vig/vet/mafioso as its the one missing result

You forgot consig and sheriff results

This is simply beautiful. Instead of the replacing Mafia in some games, (Like the Demon Faction) I feel like it should have an even chance as Vampires, but if one is in the game, the other cannot be. This is because the Spirits seem like a lesser faction to me, as they don't primarily kill. This would also be because if you had Demons and Vampires in one game, Mafia in the next, and then Mafia and Spiritss in the final, it would spice up your games a lot more and become more enjoyable.

i think its a great idea

This is a unique idea though, good job and look forward to seeing more roles/factions

I still have tons of ideas :3

thanks.

Some of the roles seem similar to Coven roles, but other than that, it's pretty good. One thing though you forgot to list the Soulkeeper/Equalizer's after death abilities.

EvanFishsticks wrote:Some of the roles seem similar to Coven roles, but other than that, it's pretty good. One thing though you forgot to list the Soulkeeper/Equalizer's after death abilities.

The only role that ik of as being similar is Summoner as I had a role to control Lynches, Votes and Night actions already, only dead bodies where left.
And Soulkeeper/Equalizers ability is there (unless I added it after you said it and forgot lol)

I need to replace

Memento
Summoner

If anyone makes any, tell me.

Sorry, I should have specified which roles I meant. Specifically the Mentalist seems like a Necromancer but another person does the dead person's action instead of the corpse itself.

Yes I just made it like that. It was Summoner. And with Mentalist thats the point. Its different to Necro because it needs to be dead, it makes someone else do the action. The only things it shares with Necro is that it uses dead people and its in a faction

Turning people into a amnesiac is a conversion. Which will end up possibly being a Mafia turned into a Amnesiac turned into a Vampire.
