I personally hate compulsiveness as an actual mechanic, as I feel it limits the strategies that can be used by scum factions and/or PRs, particularly in closed games.

Example being Mafia choosing not to kill, then using a Roleblock fakeclaim to push a lynch on a player who was previously a universal townread.
Or an SK who refrains from killing to hide the existence of an SK until ready to make their move.
Or on the Town side, a bus driver who chooses not to bus to allow other PRs to use their roles confidently.

Modifiers should only affect the actual ability/power of the role, not the player's agency.
