Sharpshooter Role

[eezstreet]

Aligned with: Town
Lore: You are a police sharpshooter, hiding out in rooftops in fear of attack.

Role: You have the ability to shoot a target during the day.

Special Attributes:
- If the target is town-aligned (and not framed) or blackmailed, your shot will be refunded and you cannot attack again until the next day.
- You cannot be killed at night.
- You are immune to roleblocking.
- You can only kill one target.
- Killing your target will not reveal your role.

Investigator message:
Your target is an excellent judge of character; they are likely a Sheriff or Sharpshooter, but could also be a Blackmailer or even an Executioner.

This is just a ridiculously overpowered version of the Vigilante.

No way.

[eezstreet]

What if they weren't night-immune or immune to escorts? Those two were implemented for sanity reasons, but I can see how that would be overpowered.
I can foresee this role either failing epically (wasting shot on Jester, Executioner or someone who is framed) or winning epically (killing off SK or last mafia). I don't really see it as a Vigilante per se, it's more of an investigative role or a pre-emptive lynch.

any sort of day kill is OP.
its instaconfrimed role "im going to shoot 6 now" 6 dies during day chat.

the shot can be refunded (which could end up with 4 dead town members and not a single mafia or neutral killer hit)

night immunity on any town role is bad, because it gives town way to much power when a night goes by without a mafia kill

and roleblocking does nothing if the shot is during the day, so the kill cant be prevented.

otherwise its just a vigilante who kills during the day.

so overall, no to the role.

It's not an investigative role. Shooting the guy to see if he's scum is not investigating.
NK immunity is bullshit on town roles.
Immune to roleblock is pointless. This guy doesn't have a night-action to block.
"Rewarding" bad play with an other shot the next day is retarded.

any sort of day kill is OP.
its instaconfrimed role "im going to shoot 6 now" 6 dies during day chat.

Mayor and Marshall are just as instaconfirm as a daykill.

Killing Jester or Executioner is wasting a shot?

Scums demand day kill immunity.

[Azuriae]

By investigative he means that if he shoots someone and that doesn't kill him, then the person is 100% confirmed town. It instantly confirms people as town, which is pretty bad.

I don't know, the whole concept of this role seems too strong for me.

[ika]

It instantly confirms people as town

that is the sole reason why it will probally be not implimented

[CmG]

Seems balanced. Please add it to the game instantly!

If the person who the ss tries to shoot is town, the shot is never fired/and does not get drained. Sorry for not making that clear.

then its super OP because it tells the SS that this person is 100% town and you should trust whatever role he claims.....

In addition if you are not town you die!

[eezstreet]

ss can only kill once, and it makes the role appear very much akin to gf/sk with the way it's set up.

Even then, this role pretty much confirms town members until he ends up killing scum. It's a guaranteed town confirm which finishes with a scum kill. Just think about it, how isn't that overpowered? I can't even imagine having two of those in one game....

[CmG]

Seriously son. What were you thinking? Even Leon gets shot at the end. Leon > Any police sharp shooter! Also how does your sharpshooter suck so hard at shooting? I mean his hit chance is only 40%. Lawl

[eezstreet]

On second thought, this role might be a little bit overpowered. But it's an interesting role for Mafia to claim.

A role for mafia? Hmm, the idea of a Day kill is very interesting, but over. Try to balance it, is a good idea, really.

[deathworlds]

So. Its a investigative,town, Night immunity, Unroleblockable, day shooter.

If the sharpshooter knows if the dude is town or not why doesnt he just tell the town BEFORE he shoots?
