Lets discuss how we can balance the investigator and other roles to make the game more balanced!
This is my personal feel on how things should be investigated as in order to balance the game in its current state.
Leader Among Men:
-Sheriff
-Godfather
-Mayor *If Revealed*
-Mason Leader
Has guns:
-Vigilante
-Mafioso
-Jailor
Prowls the street at night:
-Bodyguard
-Escort
-Consort
Gathers information at night:
-Consig
-Invest
Has knives
-Doctor
-SK
Has Gas
-Bus Driver
-Arson
Snoops for information:
-Spy
-Blackmailer
Is a loner:
-Witch
-Survivor
-Executioner
Is not suspicious likely citizen:
-GF (undetectable)
-Citizen
-Framer (undetectable)
-Jester
-** Mayor prior to reveal ** (can not reveal while on trial or as blackmailed)
-Veteran (needs to be added in next patch)

Owns masks and costumes
-Disguiser
Good at forgery
-Framer (detectable)
Deals with bodies
-Janitor
-Coroner

I feel these changes would balance things out for all game types as currently classes that are investigated as civilian get insta lynched. I might be horribly wrong as well, please post feedback!

Yeah most people omit Citizens and when investigated it's instakill on the godfather most of the time :) So I agree on that point. (though people hate playing Citizen so real citizens leave.. GG playing with morons I guess :( )

Could you make an edit and bold everything that is a change you want?
From what I can tell, it's great so far.

This is what I think is the best possible change:


Must make entire game revolve around my hosting metagame! Tbh DR make sheriff invest as leader among men and give mayor a unique invest description and problem solved. Does 0 good to have a role that is equal to gf be able to 100% prove their role with -vote.


This and make disguiser unique invest description again. The fact that an investigator is willing to double check a person he suspects as disguiser should be rewarded.
