Village Idiot - Town aligned
Abilities: At night can choose to use his ability. Anyone visiting him will get confused and roleblocked. The Village Idiot is not informed if he blocks anyone this way - his lack of social skills means he is unaware that he is a pest. Players receive the same message as if they were blocked by a consort/escort.
Pros: Less harmful to Town, can essentially self-protect himself (kills which pierce immunities cannot pierce blocks, but a role which kills roleblockers will kill the Idiot).
Cons: While kinda able to clear himself, the Idiot will have a hard time actively looking for scum. Can help clear other potential Townies if they know what night they were blocked when they visited him, though.
Summary: Quite a nice role, it's low-key and simple yet effective. Could fit into my setup really well, as it gives some of the utility of the Veteran without the extra KPN. (Mostly contributed by: CmG)
