Name: Kamikaze/Martyr/Suicide Bomber/Terrorist/Voltorb (something to that effect)
Alignment: Neutral
Goal: At the start of the game they are assigned a role of any type in the session, Town, Mafia or Neutral, who they need to kill. If they kill anyone of this role, they win (but the game will continue).
Ability: At night they can choose to kill someone with a suicide bombing, killing themselves in the process. The town will find them missing, and their target dead, the next morning.
Options for the host to enable/disable at their own preference:
Targets role blockers for bombing if blocked on the night of their attack
Target of bombing cannot be healed
Kamikaze kills self if the only remaining member of their target role dies.
Targets role blockers even if they weren't attacking on the night of being blocked.
My thoughts: I think this would be a fun role for the person playing it and everyone else watching (especially if they end up blowing up the wrong person). Obviously they need to be careful as they only have one shot at hitting the right person, so need to be especially on the lookout for clues on people's roles, while avoiding making themselves a target for lynching or the Mafia. The person playing the kamikaze also has to weigh the risk of them or their target being killed with the risk of them hitting the wrong person.
Everyone else needs to be more cautious when revealing their roles during trials if they know their is a kamikaze in the game, making people think twice before declaring "I'M SHRIFF, HEAL ME DOC PLZ" at the start of the game. It also makes bluffing a bit more risky, you may be mistaken for their target.
Obviously this role is a bit luck based. For example if they get assigned the godfather they're going to struggle, but that's half the fun in my opinion, and he is intended for fun games rather than serious games anyway (think of him as a mix of serial killer and jester).
I've been sitting on this idea for a while, thought I'd finally share it. Any feedback will be highly appreciated (whether good or bad) and improvement ideas would be great too!
P.S Great job on the game you guys, such a great mod.
