Seducer: A mesmerizingly gorgeous looking woman who is as just as capable, manipulative, and caniving as she is attractive.

Alignment: Town/Normal

Special Abilities: A seducer is a manipulative role in the intent that a seducer can seduce one person a night. At night the seducer will visit her chosen target and seduce them with her charming personality, slender manner, and sexy looks. A message will display "An attractive person has approached you at night. You have been seduced!". Once her target is seduced, she can control her target the following night to protect someone (she can target herself) and the seduced victim will sacrifice their life to save the target (basically functions as bodyguard). NOTE: A seducer must have already SEDUCED them the pervious night before being able to use them as bodyguards.
Another note: A seducer cannot seduce the following 3 roles: SK, Arson, Godfather.

Options:

-Limited to 3 seductions
-Limited to 2 seductions
-Limited to 1 seduction
-Cannot target herself
-Every other nigh she can seduce
-Victim will not be notified they are seduced

Goal: Wins with town

SPECIAL NOTES (please read these as they might answer questions you have about the role)

So wait, how is seducer town? She seems like a neutral to me.

A seducer does border on the line of neutral however, I made her a town role as I'm not entirely certain what her win condition would be as neutral (survive till end? Nah). Plus, a seducer can function perfectly as a town member by saving town power roles like sheriff and mayor with seduced victims. Plus town could use the role.

This seems OP, how can seduced victims escape seduction?

Ah, the obvious question but really important. A seduced victim may only be used once as a bodyguard, and will then snap out of their infatuation/lust phase (I.e if she used them as a bodyguard, but no one attacks the person they're sent to protect). A seducer cannot target a victim she already used before twice. Functions like this:
1. Seduce victim first night
2. Use them as BG second night
3. Victim is free from seduction, seducer must pick another person to seduce.
Victims can also escape seduction by A. killing/lynching seducer. B. Getting healed by doctor.

Can a seduced victim kill like a bodyguard would when sacrificing themselves?

No, this would make the role OP.

Does a seducer have to use a seduced victim as a bodyguard the following night? Is it mandatory?

No, the seducer will have the option to use them but doesn't have to. If she doesn't, then the victim will be able to do as they wish BUT will remain seduced.

Can a seducer have more than 1 seduced victim at any given time?

Impossible. Once one target is seduced, the only option she has at night is using them as a bodyguard, she can't go and seduce another victim UNTIL the victim dies (lynched, killed, or used as BG).

When a victim is seduced are they roleblocked?

No, only when they are used as bodyguards will they be roleblocked from their abilities.

Can a seducer seduce other town members?

Yes she can. She can seduce anyone so long as they don't have night immunity (SK, Arson, GF, someone who has doc on them, or people with bulletproof vests).

Wouldn't she harm town?

Yes she can. A seducer must be smart with who she targets, for example. If there's no evil role known of, it's better to use a confirmed citizen and use them to protect a sheriff or jailor. However, she might just ending up using town roles to protect neutral roles and vice versa. This adds more metagame to the role.


UPCOMING GASPIDEN ROLE SUGGESTIONS: Thief & Grim Reaper

its ok, i wouldnt want one in my save because its less powerful than the bodyguard themselves. 2 questions, does the person getting seduced get roleblocked that night? if so then its somewhat fair. if not then it would revolve completley on a 1/30 chance to kill a maf. also does the seduced target guarding a player have their night action?

@kyle

The seduced person guarding someone will be roleblocked as they will be commanded to bg. As for the seduction ITSELF (i.e seducer visiting someone) they won't be roleblocked.

I don't want to make it that seducer becomes half escort. Her job is to ensure the protection of town members through the disposal of other roles.

so the night they act as a bodyguard they cant take action at all? because what happens if the person they guard doesnt get attacked?

I don't like the fact that the seduced person functions pretty much EXACTLY like a bodyguard. If the seduced person could do something else more original then I reckon this would be a good role.
