Role Name: Torturer / Detainer
Alignment: Evil Neutral / Benign Neutral
Win Condition: See the town dead. Must survive / See the mafia and all evil neutrals dead. Must survive.
Game Size(s): FM / M-FM / S-FM
Abilities: MUST role block and investigate someone each night (1 target, 2 actions)
The Detainer is one of the town's most powerful allies as he can both role block and investigate. However he loses if he dies so will have to think really hard about revealing himself to give town information as he could easily be killed soon after. His reveal will probably be a game changing moment because he could reveal several mafia roles that he has been hiding up until now and then proceed to role block them or hunt for more mafia. His role block could unintentionally harm town as he must do it every night.
The Torturer is his evil equivalent. He is a very powerful neutral evil role that can help the mafia find important town roles and can block them as well. He has the same problem as the detainer however as if he reveals to inform the mafia who the town roles are he will be soon lynched or shot because of how powerful he is, which would lose him the game. Having to role block every night makes her more likely to be seen by detectives and lookouts as she cannot choose to skip her action. He will also be found by a lookout if he keeps blocking one person that he knows is a powerful town role.
Because he will be lynched as soon as he is revealed he will have to hint more subtly to the mafia who the important power roles are. He could also keep blocking someone that he knows to be a PR without the mafia's help.
One Sentence Summary: A powerful neutral role that has to weigh up the benefits of revealing to help his alignment and the risk of him dying and losing the game.
