Role Idea: Fabricator

[Nick]

Role: Fabricator
Alignment: Mafia
Ability: Falsify the role of the dead.
Optional ability:
1) Becomes mafioso if alone.
2) Manual falsification. Type "-change {role}" to set the false role.
3) True role can be known (the next morning)

Unlike Janitor who hid the role, Fabricator randomly changes the role of the dead to confuse the Town.
* No role swapping with the living - too OP (can also know the role of the living)

Pro:
1) Confuse the Town. Roles do not tally. Works even for Random Town, Neutral and Mafia.

Con:
1) Investigator description will be similar to Framer.

EDIT: Fabricator who just swap roles at night will be good too. Protects mafia from those pesky sheriffs and investigators. Will not know the role swapped, so it not OP. Might end up as SK, arsonist or witch and get lynched too.

um...Don't really get what this does exactly. When you say change role to a false role you mean he has the ability to like change an sk's role when investigated to like escort or something? What do you mean change the role of the dead...? So like if mafia kills person A he can change person A's role to something else? and then the next morning real one is revealed? If it's like that it is just basically a weaker version of janitor and I think we need new roles not versions of old.

The first idea is similar to Janitor but not weaker. With Janitor, we do not know the role. With Fabricator, we are given a wrong role. Example:-

Roles: Sheriff, Doctor, Escort, Fabricator, Mafioso
Graveyard: Doctor (but in fact is Escort)

So, during trial if someone who is a Doctor, claims that he is Doctor, he will get lynched because the "Doctor" is dead.

For the second idea, role swapping - it's similar to Framer, but stronger. Current Framer is to get Townies lynched. If can swap roles, mafia can also protect themselves. Maybe add role swap to Framer as Optional Ability?

Now this ladies and gentlemen is a great idea.

I see, but u said role is revealed next morning so then ppl will see the real role correct? While as janitor it is for entire game and not knowing the role is better for mafia as they can claim them. I'm thinking this is kinda like an opposite of janitor as it focuses on getting town lynched.

With a fabricator in game however, the coroner role might actually see play outside the "clue" variant and games with a janitor where random town was a coroner.

(Town may only random coroner with a janitor in play)

I apologize for not being clear. Too many suggestions at once =P. What I mean is:

Escort murdered at night. Fabricator fabricates. Next morning dead Escort shows up as "Doctor". Fabricator receives notice that "Doctor" is in fact Escort.

Currently, even Janitor do not know the role of the sanitized dead. Maybe Optional Ability to know the role and last will of sanitized dead for Janitor?

Mind controlling witch is very realistic also. And the upcoming spirit medium and silencer will be the most realistic roles.
