Hi hybrid,
Thanks for taking the time to start work on a setup!
Just a few quick notes before the big boy balancing team comes in (dw and rlvg):
In regards to the ghost hunter role, it says he can 'go to find ghosts' or kill someone at night. From my understanding, this means he has to specify between killing or investigating each night. I assume his killing power has the ability to kill townies too? If so, this role, essentially a vigi/invest combo, who can only invest 50% of the ghosts seems a little weak, as he'd need to survive for atleast 2 nights minimum to get a confirmed target, which after a d1 lynch is only 1/7.
Given his unlikelyness to survive, given that any sort of reveal would see him killed, and the time it takes for him to only be able to target 1 person, and that he cant be healed, plus also having a vigilante possibly spawning, it seems like this role and combo would be more antitown, or unable to contribute as intended, especially with ghost wincon.
Id suggest either making him healable, or making him able to detect both ghosts, or perhaps being able to target 2 people at night for detection, but revieving anonymous feedback, ie not knowing which of his targets is associated with which feedback.
You might consider dropping vigi from roles list too. 3 potential night kills in such a small setup with a wincon for ghosts that see them win with only 3 town dead is a game that might end very quickly
The police officer role says he doesnt kill senior ghost if protecting someone who is targetted by him. What does this role protect from? I assume its the equivalent of a body double, who takes the hit for someone, but how does this role react if its target is targetted by a ghost hunter or vigi?
Angel says he can win with whoever he wants, but it also says he cant help town by his own will or reveal ghosts. This role will likely have a lot of questions about it in game. So its best to really define this role now in the setup. How do these rules govern how the angel can vote. Can he hammer? Can he reveal he is angel? If he has revealed, can he vote ghosts at all? Can he end the game if ghosts are down a player? Just make sure to clear these up.
Also, its best to add to your rolecards the specific feedback for each scenario that a role could be involved in. Even if its just boring like "nothing happened tonight". This will help your game run smoother and let players properly understand role mechanics.
Il let you know if i think of anything else. But so far so good. Once again, thanks for taking the intiative to build a setup. Hopefully we'll see it hosted soon!
