Does a role like this exist?
I'm wondering if there is a role where Player A would be paired with Player B sort of like lovers, but with a twist. Player A would be a special role (cop, doc, whatever) and if Player B died, Player A would lose their special role abilities instead of killing themselves.
Player B wouldn't know anything about Player A needing them to be alive. Maybe Player A would know their abilities depended on Player B being alive, or maybe they would know that they need a "certain player" to remain alive but not know specifically who it is.
Is there a role or a modifier like this?- zoraster

I think he ment like a "person" exclusive version of the Enabler.
However this gave me a nice idea...Implosion: I see ZZZX wasredacted. For shame, people. For shame.

That is similar to how an Enabler functions in Greater Idea. If you are an Enabler, at the start of the game it is randomly determined which of the other players you are Enabling (in face to face, it's often pre-determined as the player on your right or left). Throughout the rest of the game, if that player has a special ability (which is fairly likely in Greater Idea), they will not be able to use it if the Enabler is dead; and only the Enabler knows this.- Cheery Dog

If you're only got one of a role, the enabler does just that.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

Regarding your avatar:
Hi, I'm kuribo. You may remember me from such self help videos as "Smoke yourself thin," and "Get confident, stupid!"Join me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- Untrod Tripod
