N6 - Sk Picks a lock off of billy and kills jimmy
D7 - Actions are successful
-Each Faction can only pick one lock at a time


-How a faction decides who is going to be picking a lock
Explanation - Spoiler: If Mafia are going to pick a lock then the first mafia who wants to pick a lock will do it but if he cancels that action then the second person who wanted to pick a lock will do it instead of the first person (Note - This is revolved around a mech which gives each person with a lock on then a small lock icon which is seen by the mafia which they can choose who to pick a lock)

Alright, here's the problem with this one.

1. It's better than the other TP's
2. It's worse than the other TP's
3. The second one might be false

This probably doesn't make any sense, but here's how it works. You can apply a lock to anyone (preferably yourself) and say "hey I locked myself" and boom, you are now confirmed. The meta of the game will instantally recognize that the first locked player = the locksmith, and it will become weird if you lock someone else. You are now effectively you're own TP, and if there's an additional TP/LO on you you can just catch anyone who attacks you and removes your lock. LO will report them for attacking you (and everyone will know you were attacked) and the TP will save you from death when you're lock is temporarily down. Jailer can also protect you during this downtime, and collect all the claims. Just start a whisper game on day 2 and rake in that easy bake oven win. This means that you're better than the other TP roles, because you can just start a SECOND confirmed townie besides the Jailer/TPower.

However, it could also be worse than the doctor when it comes to being a protective role.

If you can only have one lock active at a time, then it's worse than a doctor as the evils will know who not to attack and know that if they attack them twice they can get the kill. Also because the fact it takes a day to switch targets.

If you can have multiple locks active at a time, then it's a better doctor as if the evils try to pick and then kill you now have 2 more locks set up, but if they ignore it then you have a slow army of locks building up. Also because multi-protecting TP roles are garbage.

Truth is, there's no way for this to work. The evils knowing who they can attack without resistance and allowing them to pick the lock will either result in a worse or better doctor.

/nosupport It's horribly confirmable and a bad TP to boot.

[Mystoc]

hey guys im locksmith ill put a lock on john house this night to prove it, next day lock icon appears next to john, oh hey that guy didnt lie hes confirmed

also its like trapper but doesn't take a night to do and confirm itself i hope only lock can be active on a person at time otherwise even more OP. this is very strong on mayor

only evils would visit a locked persons house so LO can easily spot this, since evils can only pick the lock, is that right?


to simalar to trapper and confirmable to boot /nosupport

We talked in discord so i dont have to explain my self

hey guys im locksmith ill put a lock on john house this night to prove it, next day lock icon appears next to john, oh hey that guy didnt lie hes confirmed - Why would you want to confirm yourself anyway, your just making your self a target

also its like trapper but doesn't take a night to do and confirm itself i hope only lock can be active on a person at time otherwise even more OP. this is very strong on mayor - Fixed

only evils would visit a locked persons house so LO can easily spot this, since evils can only pick the lock, is that right? - Yes and Fixed

Isnt this a weaker doctor

[Element83]

Isnt this a weaker doctor

Doc gives his target a powerful defense
the locksmith does not give a defence

[timurtheking]

Isnt this a weaker doctor

Doc gives his target a powerful defense
the locksmith does not give a defence

so he makes the target fully immune until lockpicked? and can lock people unlimited times isn't that op?

Need some more feed back please and i added achievements plus more colors to it

and it REALLy needs a invest result

[BasicFourLife]

It’s a Trapper which doesn’t kill the attackers nor finds out the roled which visit his target. Also since evils know there is a lock on someone you will never block any attacks and make it so evils know who to attack or easily.

[Manhax]

Too weak.

You could just attack and lockpick in the same night using different Mafia roles, which would make the role completely useless compared to more consistent TPs.

The Basic objective of the locksmith is to Keep the Evil out of Salem ok? Its to protect high priority people like the Jailor, Mayor, BG Etc. while keeping a barrier on them and if you say that that is the TP's job anyway then yes that is tru but eventually the evil will have to kill other people who are not high priority and if the evil keep avioding people who have a lock on them they will eventually, later in the game, will have to target people who have the lock on them.

Yes I have already thought of that and i just forgot to put that in the role
That is going to be fixed cause yes that would make it unfair to the locksmith

Thank you guys for your feedback

[Element83]

Could i get some more feedback please and I would like a suggestion for a Investigator Result - I am not really sure what roles would be good with this(I have some ideas but not sure about them)

[Element83]

Bumpidy bump bump BUMP BUMP

i added some additional changes and i need some opinions on them if u so please to put them
NEEDS A IVNEST RESULT HALP

Maybe Try This:

Locks take 2 days to make and last for 2 days after installing.

All non-town that visit will see the locked targets (making fake claims very simple). Non town can not even try to visit locked targets

If any town visits a locked target, they will be notified that the target was locked up. Jailor is no exception fyi.

Targets will NOT be notified they were given a lock.

All non-town that visit will see the locked targets (making fake claims very simple). Non town can not even try to visit locked targets

If any town visits a locked target, they will be notified that the target was locked up. Jailor is no exception fyi.

Targets will NOT be notified they were given a lock.

besides im going to be tweaking it once more so comment again on what you think on the tweets

EVEN if it expires after two days and has a two day cooldown, it is too big of a nerf for evil roles. Theoretically, the WW wouldn't be able to rampage which completely nerfs him and makes it even worst for him. So no, this is a bad idea.

Alright i will take a note of that and do you have any other opinions about the role?

And when you say bad idea do you mean on the 2 day cooldown or the role?

[Pirz]

I can see where you were coming from with this role idea, and I don't think it's necessarily bad. However... you should pretty much give it an overhaul.

First off, a lock isn't going to stop a murderer in this town. A killer would just break down the door, whether it'd be magical arts, wolves, psycho's, mafias, et cetera. Which brings me to my second point... this, at most, stops non lethal, home entering visitation roles, and it would really only protect them if they stayed home. What good is a locked door if they aren't behind it? Exception to this is probably the escort/consort... because, let's face it, what they do happens behind locked doors anyway. This would make it town supportive at best, as it's only preventing/aiding town against non lethal roles.. most of which are town, sad to say. So, what is the point of this role?

After you get past the existential crisis that this role presents.. Next you must establish the role perimeters. You can't just permanently fix someone's lock and forever deny someone's role against that target, and having last a finite amount of time is also illogical and game breaking. Even something as simple as making it last two days still lets you forever block roles from one person, and alternate supportive protection for another. If it only lasts for the night... well, then you're a really bad locksmith.

I like your idea, but it'll never work. Besides, this town never locks their doors... why would they need a locksmith?

[Boredfan1]

The role. I can't think of anything to improve it.
