New Class Suggestion: Alien (body swapper)

[smcmickle]

The idea of the alien is: Start as a regular person. Every night, you must swap bodies to another person. When you do this, you (the alien) burst out of your current body and climb into a new one. You would then become the new person, including their name and color. They(the player) would obviously die, due to their body being taken over, but nobody would know.

Perhaps a way to kill the alien would be: if the doctor heals someone while the alien attacks that person, the alien dies to the doctor. At this part you can have a zergling death animation or something.

Good idea?

This sounds kind of like the Disguiser, a Mafia role. A third-party Alien role that does this would be something reserved for a special variant.

Ahh sorry, haven't played in a while. Just watched my friend play and didn't see a Disguiser. Is that role already implemented?

[Dark.Revenant]

No.

Alien? Ehh..

Wow, I love that idea, but... Not as an Alien. Seriously.
Mafia should be kept realistic. :/

I dislike calling it an alien, but the role sounds interesting.

idea is nice... but the name alien doesn fit good :)

The disguiser in EM is pretty badass, any chance to see him in Mafia or are those mechanics too hard to implement ?

They're very tricky, but possible. I would basically have to swap both players' colors, names, units completely, but not the roles. Like the Janitor, I'll be adding a cap on how many times this can be done.
