At the end of the first day, you will become the role that the majority of players think you are. If only alignment is specified, I will give you whatever role I feel like from that faction.

This? Is awesome.

Seems like a pretty overpowered and thus "worst" role to me.

Well...my ruling would be if everyone buys into your Impressionable claim then you keep that role for the whole game, which is useless after D1 and has no inherent win con :twisted:

You are the
Executioner!


If you cast the last vote of the day, you gain a nightkill. Additional "hammer" votes will give you an extra one-shot kill.

You win when all other players are dead, or nothing could prevent this from occurring.

You are the
MODIFIER


You are an evil corrupted JOAT, preferring to mess with others abilities instead of using some yourself.

You add One of the 6 modifiers randomly to someone else. All role modifiers are permanent. Targets will not be told about their modifiers.

1. Vengeful (Will use ability when they die on whoever killed them or a person on their wagon. Results released publicly by the mod.)
2. Day (Turns day roles to night roles, and night roles to day roles)
3. Reflexive (Their role becomes reflexive in addition, even during the day. Daytime roles will activate on anyone who votes for them.)
4. Ancestral (Anyone the target uses their role on gets their ability)
5. Brutal (Makes ability role-block, and if a role-blocking ability, kills the target. If it is a jail-keeper, Then it kills the target and revives them the next night.)
6. Motivated (Action can be used twice)

You win with the town.

While I am at it,

You are the
Reflexive Dayvig


Anyone who votes for you will be killed. You win with the town.

You are a
Serial Killer Creator
.

You can target someone each Night. This will turn them into an independently-aligned Serial Killer.
You are bulletproof. The Serial Killers you create are not.

You win when you are the only player remaining.

You are a
Naked Jogger
.

Spoiler: nsfw
Image


You're not a pervert, you just like the feel of fresh air on your skin. You fulfill your win condition when every mafia player is dead.

TV and newspaper reports of people's sightings of you haven't discouraged you from attending to your hobby, nevertheless you do it late at night in remote parts of town in order to avoid unnecessary attention.
Consequently it's not unusual for you to be the first to discover the location where mafia dumped a dead body after a kill. This makes people suspicious of you.

As long as you're around the forensic team finds a pubic hair at the crime scene every time a murder occurs and if a detective, cop or medical
doctor decides to investigate you he'll take a DNA sample, compare the two and find that they match.
Because you don't want to go to jail you are forced to lay bare the truth and admit to be the bizarre exhibitionist who has been haunting the, rather conservative regarding public nudity, townies with his shocking extrovertedness.

Any remnant suspicion of you fades away after the FBI's behavioral analysis unit declares that there is no way you'd fit the killer's profile which results in a confirmed townie status.

And yet nobody seems to want to vouch for your sanity so you wind up stripped of your voting power.

You are the GUILD NEIGHBORIZER

You are a Guild master, knowing many different trades. You can tell my the way a man looks what he does and how to do it.

You love to get in touch with people with different skills, and thus you can recruit one person into your neighborhood a night.

When A person is recruited into the Guild Neighborhood, Everyone learns everyone's abilities, but not who had them. People who get activatable abilities can use all abilities they learn all at once each night.

You win with the town.

You are a
Patient with a Terminal Illness


You know your time is coming. Your life will surely be over any day now. Why not do some last bit of good?

Once in the game, either day 1 or night 1, you may opt out of this cruel world by taking yourself off life support. Your organs will be randomly distributed to five people. Anytime anyone of them would die from poison, they instead can will be rushed to the ER and get a transplant.

You win with town if you don't sacrifice yourself.

Otherwise, you win if at least one of your targets survive until game end.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

Investigated or targeted by medic action, or tracker maybe, yes.

It could also work as a modifier with PRs getting denied their vote power only or get fully treestumped, for the rest of the game or only temporarily, left at the mod's discretion.

Counteracting my "Weak makes anything strong" in postgame analysis…

You are a
Weak Suicidal Townie
.

Each night you may target a player. If you target scum, you die.
You automatically die night 1.

(For making it a little less Worst, change the suicidal to night 2. Then it's actually useful, and has no reason not to claim on day 2.)

You are
the entire mafia faction
. You have no buddies. Each night you can use any of the two following abilities: roleblock, redirect, rolecop, vanillize, frame. You also have a night kill. At the start of each night you can choose whether you want to be a godfather or ninja.

You win when you're the only one alive.
When there's trouble, you call DW.

Should also need to be killed 2-6 times to die. Other than that it's perfect.

You are a
Ghost Troll


While you are alive, all you can post are votes and unvotes.
Once you're dead, you can talk freely about anything other than the game.

While you're alive, you win with the town.
While you're dead, you win if every other player asks for replacement.

Not a role, just a modifier.

You are a
Hydra


Multiple players (heads) are playing in this slot. When this slot is killed, only one head is killed at a time.

Basically for DeltaWave's role lol.

To bounce off of these:

HydraYou are
the Hydra
. If ever you would be killed, one of your heads is randomly killed, but you may add two new people to the Hydra.

You win when you are paralyzed with indecision.
