Another attempt at a setup with an IC mechanic, this time with a power role chosen by vote. IC means either Innocent Child or Inexperience Challenged depending on your viewpoint.

Cop and Doctor should be equivalent in the setup, the Bulwark exists as a flashy high swing option
considering the setup might be townsided, I'm considering giving the Mafia a Jailkeeper as well.
If Bulwark is still too weak despite being able to both get a guilty and prevent a kill in this setup, I'd actually go for Town Roleblocker as one of the potential Town Power Role choices.

I was hoping the voting mechanic would enable mechanic discussion and setup spec. The alternative would be having the power role pick a power during pregame, but not sure how that would work out in a setup that is meant to be newbie-friendly.
I'm wondering if these changes would be good for the setup:
Replace one of the Mafia Goons with a Mafia Roleblocker
Change the Town Power Role choices to Bodyguard, Cop, and Roleblocker
hopefully Bodyguard allows for a protective role choice while not being too centralizing

Would definitely go 1 shot over indecisive because multiple successful protections is backbreaking for scum and the interesting Nash Equilibrium choice still exists with 1 shot.
Also, 1 shot is the more common/easily explained modifier, even if indecisive is pretty simple.
would you want 1-shot doctor be one of the Town Power Role choices if the Mason already is a 1-shot doctor?
not sure what I could add to balance it, maybe scum should have a roleblocker in this setup

Combining the mason and the power role is an answer to needing fewer named roles in a smaller game. In a 13p I'd definitely keep them separate. Actually, thinking about it indecisive is probably better balanced in a 13p anyway, I was still somewhat in the 8p headspace thinking of limited days for the setup to run.
okay, so indecisive doctor as a role choice, but remove 1-shot doctor from the mason for this setup?
