Role Name: Coroner
Role Affiliation: Town
Active Ability: Death Investigation (limited standard: 2)
Coroners are known for conducting investigations into suspicious deaths to determine the cause. The Coroner would be able to selective activate an ability on themselves (like using a vest) which (assuming they survive the night) would give them detailed knowledge on how each person died last night.
How does this differ from turning on Night Sequence? Not only would the Coroner be able to detect the class responsible for the Death of the individual, the Coroners report could also stipulate if the death was due to role blocking a Serial Killer, If a doctor had attempted to save them (double kill), or if the target was subjected to an attack that skips immunity (Arsonist/Hitman). The Coroner could also (maybe a host option as this could be quite a hard counter) be able to detect the Role of the deceased person even in the presence of a Janitor.
The report would not show who did it, as that would be Overpowered as hell
Skilled Coroners could then be able to tell, say, if a Serial Killer killed his target and no one else died, it is more likely that the Escort blocked a Mafia if no one reports being saved. Knowing of a double kill can also stop the town from lynching a target the escort blocked. Although, I guess Night Sequence would do that too :P.
My first role idea which came to me while I was studying ;P. Would love to hear what some of you think... despite it's similarity to Night Seq.
