Oh come on, other people did it too! Let me have my fun! heck, these might even be good enough to implement :p

Retired Bomber - A paranoid and dangerous individual. His alignment is town, but if he feels he is betrayed he will set the town ablaze with the bombs he planted all over the place.
Ability: If found guilty in a lynch he sets off the bombs - everyone die, everyone lose. If he is attacked at night and healed by a doctor he sets off the bombs, game over. If he is role-blocked he gets suspicious and kills the role-blocker. Only way to get rid of him is kill him and make sure no doc heals him, that or trust him and let him help the town win. The sheriff will not discover his role, investigator and consigliere will.

Martial Artist - A master of hand to hand combat. His alignment is neutral. He wins if the town or mafia prevail, but only if there is no witch alive. He cannot win with SK or Arsonist.
Ability: Defends himself at night. If attacked by mafia or vigilante he will dodge them and survive. If attacked by sk he will counter-kill the sk. If attacked by arsonist he will not survive. If he is role-blocked and attacked at night he won't be able to defend himself - he will die. Appears not suspicious in investigations.

Disguised Alien - A being from outer space who is curious about humans. Alignment is neutral, will win if he succeeds in experimenting on 5 diffrent people and survives to the end of the game.
Ability: Abduct a person and perform experiments each night. The abducted person is role-blocked, but also protected from death - even by an arsonist, alien tech is superior after all. The alien can be role-blocked, his curiousity gets the better of him. And yes, he can be killed too. If a doctor heals the alien at night he will discover the alien's true nature (his role, duh). Cannot be detected by sheriff, investigator and consigliere will discover him only if he abducts someone at night. Message to his target at night: "You've been abducted by aliens".

They all sound a bit silly or wonky and kind of not in the Mafia theme.
I mean, seriously? Aliens? I just don't see how this would work.

You do realize there's already the Witch and Jester roles in the game right? How do those two relate to the mafia? :p

Edit: Oh hey I got another one!

Role: Barney the evil purple dinasour
Ability: Eat a person each night. Eats role-blockers. Eats anybody who tries to kill him at night. If found guilty in a lynch he stomps the ground and destroys the town completely. Very balanced yes? heh

Yep that was a joke role ;)

Actually a pro for u is that u have ideas :D I am not up for such things...

Reirted Bomber - way to OP^^ Also with all the random lynch crap... u will not pass 2-3 rounds most of the time-
I like some of the ideas tho... Mainly this one "if wrong accused and lynched..." I guess it would be good if there would be a character that if wrong lynched at court... he will take someone with him (if not selected randomly choosen). But the goal for such a character should be to survive in some sort... And the name should be something else then Bomber :D
This would also prevent a lot of random lynchings :D

Alien... dont like this idead for several reasons :D

Martial Artist - to OP... and too advantagious for town... No way to balance such a char to damage mafia, neutral and town same way... and if he does damage only one side (or the damage chance is way higher for one side... then it doesn work well ingame)

Are you serious ? Retired bomber and martial artist are like beyond OP, and alien is totally out of place...

"You do realize there's already the Witch and Jester roles in the game right? How do those two relate to the mafia? :p"

-Witch could be argued to be some kind of a physic or one of those creepy ladies in the circus who claim they can see your future, or just in general some kind of a creepy voodoo person, aka Tosh.

-Jester can be argued to be some kind of a metaphor for a completely and absolutely mentally retarded person.

heh, in that case the roles I came up can also be renamed. Alien can be mad scientist instead, for example :p

Yeah bomber is a crazy role, so should not be included in random town selection, only if directly added to the list, and then everyone know there is one ;)

Anyway randomly lynching innocent people is stupid, having a bomber would merely add a big price to pay for stupidity. Although in the late game when only a few are left, if bomber is still around then you're in trouble, heh.

Martial Artist is op? He is neutral, so not on any side specifically. Considering his power rating he'l recieve less points than survivor, same as witch probably, so I don't see how he is op. Yes he can mess the sk up, but thats about it. Also if there is no town alive and a witch is at end game, MA will auto-lose.

These are just ideas anyway guys, don't talk as if they are implemented, hehe.

Speaking of the witch btw, isn't it a bit off that she can't keep playing alone? If mafia, sk and arsonist are all gone then she will auto-lose, rather than giving her a chance to play it out and maybe get a win alone.

I suggest new role
Medium (Ghost Whisperer)
A person who can talk to dead people at night. Or at least can hear them.

Hm Alien... why not? If there is a fantasy role "Witch" who use a magic to manipulate a people, why we cant add alien? i think its good idea
