Role Name: Mutagen Developer
Description: As the town's brilliant aspiring scientist, you believe you are the only one who can protect the town's citizens from <Insert evil team name Here>. You have developed a strengthening drug that you believe will save the town from the dangers facing them. However, in the current suspicious atmosphere of the town, the other members of the town are unwilling to let you administer this drug to them. You decide that for the better good, you must apply the drug to the town without their knowing during the night. You will not rest until you have "protected" every living player.
Alignment: Benign Neutral
Game Size(s): All
Ability: At night, he injects a mutating drug into a target player. The player is not informed of this. An injected player grows in strength, gaining the ability to resist one attack (a passive vest). The next night, an injected player's action kills their target (in addition to | in replacement of) any original effects their action would have. If an injected player (is a citizen | does not take an action the next night), the unused energy in their system gives them a heart attack, killing them. You may only use this ability on each player once.
Winning Conditions: Have every living player injected with your drug.
Intended Purpose: A somewhat weaker neutral killer with an easier win condition that can side with both the town or the mafia.
Meta-Game Implications: Town power roles (especially those such as a doctor) will have to think more about their actions, knowing that a kill might come alongside their action. The Developer could choose to help boost mafia KPN, or turn into an effective armorsmith and gunsmith helping the town. Citizens will have to be more careful with PR claims, because they could be killed by one who is not necessarily their enemy.
Possible Cons: It could be too easy for the Developer to turn in to an overpowered town role by revealing himself and his targets to the town. However, this strategy could be countered by a witch that would become an effective serial killer by witching the injected players. Furthermore, this would be dangerous for the Developer because he would become a high priority target for scum and would likely die before his winning conditions are accomplished.
Role Options: Injection kills citizens / Injection kills all roles who do not take an action the following night.
Kill replaces actions / Kills come in addition to actions
One sentence summary: Neutral-aligned gunsmith+armorsmith with an interesting winning condition.
