interseting

This goes along the same idea as the juggernaut, it gets more powerful as the game goes on, but it works differently, it is a cool role idea, but I am not sure it will fit in the game.

lel
Im surprised no one came up with a similar role like juggernaut before the jugg came out

NKs need a good and fast KPN or they're going to be screwed. This having a powerful attack doesn't make up for that. You can kill the Godfather/CL if the CL has the Necronomicon, and you can kill an NE if it's Exe, whereas you can kill the other NEs easily. You can also kill a Survivor. Roles you don't even need to kill, you can accuse the first two in a DN or make a claim.\

Killing neighbors shouldn't happen ever, it's a purely cosmetic choice and RNG where you end up. The slot you are randomly put at in the start of the game should not determine whether you're going to die or not.

I feel like instead of the neighbor attack, it could be a crusader style rampage where 1 random visitor dies? (Minus you)

Again, random is luck, not skill. In a skill-based game like ToS, we can't have abilities that rely on luck. Crusader is a good example of bad randomness, it's nowhere near as useful as a Bodyguard. It can kill multiple evils but if even one Townie visits the same target it can screw up tremendously.

I was trying to push it in the right direction, that isn't seriously what I thought they would change it to

Anything random is not the right direction.

I mean, I like the idea. But the name 'Smoker' doesn't really work

lets face it
crusader is a broken role

Why would u die? If ur their neighbor? I said it skips you.


Also any name suggestions? Poisoner was my first thought but....
-_-

I never said "You" as in the Smoker, I mean "You" as in the Town of Salem player. Reread the start of the first sentence. Where you end up and who your neighbors are should never determine who does or doesn't die. I didn't say the Smoker would die, I said people shouldn't have to worry about who their neighbors are.

Fine.
Changes it to you can pick 2 people.

Possilble names-Gasser, Torturer, Punisher, and Alchemist.

interesting. We got a unique idea here. But i'm not sure if it's gonna be balanced though, might some changes.

#ReplaceThePoisonerWithThis

With all the KPN potential Coven has, their Poisoner is fine.

Super Bump!

What's a super bump?

This role is just kind of boring. Can you make diferent cigars so they do different things, maybe even cigars that can help someone in a certain way such as bliding the person that would kill them so they can escape. Either way i think this role would very hard to win considering it takes multiple days to kill one townie

This is a NK role, it doesn't need a variety of ways to kill.
This role kills faster when the town gets smaller.
The cigar deals a Powerful attack, not Basic.

Bump

hmmm i don't know. it's a good concept i guess? /support

Idk what to say now. Meh
