In post 5, implosion wrote:. In particular I think the commuter is a bad idea here; a weak doctor targeting someone and not dying would be considered almost the gold standard of "this person is town", and it would be incredibly unlikely for town to win after that happens if the weak doctor claims it and scum plays decently well. It is unlikely to happen since it's a 1-shot commuter, but etc.
I agree with this. Weak Doctor can guilty someone really nicely at the price of their death. This makes an i kill able slot, and kind of goes near the same reason why godfather isn’t allowed in normals, albeit with more swing and less plausibility of actually happening thus making that situation even more damning to town if it were to happen.

Strongman has to stay with one of the roles, so not factional. This makes it so scum have to play around keeping their strongman alive.

I like the Loud Visitor idea, but it’s rather irrelevant and doesn’t do too much, which I believe was the point of it.

I’m on my lunch break, so I’ll have more comments and ideas later, I just wanted to make a quick note and to let you know I’m here

Unkillable* in regards to if the weak doctor hits the commuter the night they commute.

I agree. The strongman is fine to keep since it’s a one shot.

I like the idea of a motion detector. That’s rather limited in power, and allows scum to play around it still.

Neapolitan seems really strong if ungated here.

I personally wouldn’t even mind loud visitor and motion detector.

In post 17, mastina wrote:Weak Doctor,
1x Vig,
Psychologist,
Motion Detector,
VT x 6

vs.
1x Strongman
Goon x2

That's the proposed setup, yes?

I believe that'd be balanced, yes.
Yeah, looks good!

Psychologist I had to read a couple times because my brain didn’t want to process it, it’s quite wordy. It is correct, though, and hits all the points.

I think you need to put in the rules that Mafia have daytalk.

Yeah, it is! I was fine passing it either way, but that’s clear.

Mafia might think all roles have flavor and make a slip because of it. That’s all I’m worried about

They would just talk about flavor in the role pm thinking everyone has it.

It’s not too much.
