Ok thanks, Ill change the attack.
As for the name augur no one really knows what an augur is. , but some ideas I'm considering would be the Fortune Teller, Wizard, Prophet, or Banshee.

Please comment on which idea you'd like the lore to be changed to, or if you like it as the Weather Man, then say Weather Man. The other options are Fortune Teller, Wizard, Prophet, and Banshee

Fortune Teller is good or Prophet, i like those two best

Perhaps Clairvoyant? Also, you spelled Neutral wrong (in the alignment).

Consigliere: Your target owns strange devices and machines to predict the future. They must be a Weather Man!

ahahaahahah that is not lore friendly at all

If played properly this role Helps town more then scum and isnt very impactful or needed for the game

i view this role has neutral killer and doctor at the same time both sides can can use you to kill people or use you to save them which is why i like this role so much since its goal isn't to kill everyone it can be used by both sides


true if this role is played perfectly it will just save 3 people from death but its very hard to play this perfectly though in my opinion if this role guesses wrong it kills the person which town won't like

a game lasts 6-8 days so this role cant afford to not predict a death a night if it isn't sure who will die so usually it will kill people which will make town mad and want the role dead

‘Neutral killer and doctor’
Exactly why its bad, its just a fusion of 2 roles with Neutral Chaos slapped onto it

Uh. no

So... should I change the lore to the Fortune Teller???

I think fortune teller works.

I dont think neutral chaos is a good alignment, I would suggest switching this to Neutral (Benign)

It needs to have a reason not to screw over the game, right now it has that ability but doesn't care about the whole mafia vs town vs nk game going on

Well yes, when I said it should be switched to Neutral (Benign) I'm implying to take out the killing part.

Na thatd be boring though

Ok im gunna switch the lore to the fortune teller

You are a twisted meteorologist who now predicts the forecast of deaths.

should say this instead

You are a twisted psychic who revels in correctly predicting the deaths of others

lore wise it make sense why you kill the people who wouldn't of died if you predicted they would die then they didnt you would be called fraud and loses your business so you kill yourself so your prediction becomes


only problem is why would you heal someone you predicted would die and then do die for heal why save them if it makes your prediction true, healing them wouldn't make sense

perhaps the client believes your prediction and buys an expensive charm of protection from you and that's why the survive the attack?

LOL im stickler for lore making sense it prolly doesn't even matter but yea

Fortune Teller is an extremely cliched name though. I would change it to Clairvoyant.

I like the idea of clairvoyant.
One question, does invincible immunity mean that you can be lynched but not attacked?

This role seems like a good idea, but there are a few flaws.

First, if the fortune teller decides to start guessing from the start of the game, most likely he gets it wrong and someone dies, making the town/mafia want to start attacking/lynching the fortune teller. If the fortune teller waits until later (4 or 5 people left), chances are he gets it right, but in which case the immunity being dealt out is too strong and would mess up game mechanics. In addition, I feel that 3 is an incredibly unrealistic goal, as the probabilities are very, very low.

Maybe give the fortune teller night immunity as well

/nosupport, for now

keep in mind im not the OP of this thread just answering your questions

invincible defense means just for night there is no role in the game that is unhangeable even pestilence can be hanged

that the point of the role its neutral chaos it needs to not piss of mafia and town and still try to win

Maybe give the fortune teller night immunity as well

it has a basic defense

alright, thanks for clearing em up. My ToS knowledge and terminology is very very outdated (I haven't visited the forums in like 2 years) but I still feel like the success of this role is very very unlikely

Has anybody realized how OP this role is? You can literally team up with mafia with this role and win in 3 quick and easy nights. Any NK works as well.
Also the fact that the target gets INVICIBLE defense when it predicts right and it attacks someone if it doesn't

/nosupport and nothing you say will convince me this is actually a good role

No one said the mafia would be okay with you stopping them from getting 3 kills.

What kind of sane mafia would allow you to do that :/

Also what's really OP about this role as well is that it wins with anybody if it reaches its goal

Why would the mafia team up with you? You'd be healing the people they would be trying to kill.
