The fandom forum may think this is great, but sadly for you it will not make it past the forum balancers due to these problems
-You know FIVE roles in the town. FIVE!?! That's incredibly OP! Even though you have two uses, you will know at least ten roles.
-This role has Basic Defense. Scratch this out because TIs should NEVER have defense
-Even though this visits five times in one night (which is ridiculous), this is incredibly unbalanced

Nice try, fandom forum

At first this seems ok, because you don’t know who has what role...

But in the end game with 6 players(let’s say two maf) you pull this off and immediately know who’s the Consort claiming escort, and who’s the Godfather claiming BG.


Example:
You are Adam(Scout)
Bob claims Bodyguard
Charlie claims Medium
David claims Escort
Edward claims Lookout
Finley claims Investigator
Gary claims Sheriff

You use your ability - “There is a Medium, Investigator, Consort, Sheriff and Godfather in Town!”
Basically and instant town win, in almost any scenario near the end game, not to mention if there were any TKs left.

Sorry, but it’s too OP and would need a balancing rework.

it helps poe the role list... the entire point of the role lists rng is so scum can claim roles
RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.

The fandom forum isn’t like the balancers in the BMG forum,there’s kind of a skill gap.

I see how many think it’s a good idea. Essentially, it looks to be a TI that can easily set the rolelist clear. It has two uses, which means that it’s a boring role to play, spread out the visits into many nights.

Anyway, the rolelist is supposed to be a secret. NOT TO MENTION this role completely depends in RNG, a hated mechanic here in the forums. Plz write a rolecard for your role here, it’s better and more accesible to us.
