Veteran Rework

[ImposterK]

Veteran (Town Killing)
A paranoid war hero who will shoot everyone if in danger.

Abilities:
-Decide if you will go on alert.

Attributes:
-You can only go on alert 3 times.
-While on alert, if any hostile visitors target you, you will deliver a Powerful attack to all of your visitors.
-While on alert you gain Basic Defense.
-While on alert, you cannot be roleblocked or controlled.

Special Attributes:
Attack: Powerful (Temporary)
Defense: Basic (Temporary)
Temporary Roleblock Immunity
Temporary Control Immunity
No longer unique

Investigative Results:
Sheriff: You cannot find evidence of wrongdoing. Your target seems innocent.
Investigator: Your target could be a Vigilante, Veteran, or Mafioso.
Consigliere: Your target is a paranoid war hero. They must be a Veteran.

Other Information:
-"Hostile visitors" are visitors that are not town or have disruptive abilities. (Such as Escort.)

Currently, the Veteran must be a unique role since it would kill many Town members if there were more than one. Since there can only be 1 Veteran in a game, when a Veteran has been confirmed, no evil roles are able to claim to be Veteran. With my version, evildoers have an easier time to claim Veteran and mass amounts of Town members won't be killed in the process. The Town is able to get 4 Veterans in my version which will be a problem; however, this is very unlikely, Veterans can't go on alert every night, and there are still other roles that can be attacked instead if evildoers don't want to risk visiting a Veteran. This change also might be a problem if a Lookout tells a confirmed Veteran to alert, and then tells another player to visit the Veteran. (This may also lead to a Mafia member committing suicide to kill 2 Town members, but that would only be useful in certain situations.)

TL;DR:
Veteran is no longer unique but only kills visitors if a hostile player visits them the night they're alerting.

I would rather not reduce the Veteran's ability to kill town. Right now the Veteran, like the Vigilante, doesn't differentiate between players based on their alignment, and I think that's a good thing.

Veteran doesn't need a rework, it's fine the way it is and the fact that Veteran needs to have some aspect of risk because the fact it can be the sole reason Town wins or loses is a good way to create strategy over just alerting whenever you feel like you don't wanna really die that night.

I see, but I think it's more important for the Veteran to not be unique.

Using an alert and not killing anyone is also a punishment for the Veteran since they used an alert that could have been used when an evildoer visited them.

Yeah, adding more strategy and consequences for the role. Can I ask what your point is? I think I missed it.

You're claiming that the Veteran needs to have some aspect of risk. I showed you that my rework does.

It has no real downside to alerting outside of just wasting an alert, it's not risky enough

I disagree. Using an alert can be the difference between life or death.

We obviously have disagreeing opinions, I feel a TK needs to be able to kill Town if they screw up. But you say that wasting an alert is just as bad.

Veteran doesn't choose who they kill, so that isn't really needed. Also, with my idea, Veterans can still kill Town, but only when a harmful players visits them.

Hostile already has a term. Those with Malicious intent, identical to Marshal. This rework is shit, Vet is already strong

This is to make Veteran more claimable.

Oh, this makes a lot more sense now lol.

This might seem like shameless self promotion but I personally would rather see my kill type (target killed by vig, vet or Mafia) type system than a Veteran rework that can't kill stupid TI/TS roles visiting.

EDIT: Also I thought there was a reason why Veteran was unique.

To prevent Veterans from mass killing people.
