Grand Idea Mafia

Killer Killer

(alignment chosen by moderator, defaulting to Mafia)

Each night, choose a player. If that player has a killing ability, they will die.
You cannot use this ability and another ability (e.g. a factional nightkill) on the same Night.

Watcher Watcher

(alignment chosen by moderator, defaulting to Mafia)

At the start of each Day, you will be given a list of players who targeted Watchers on the previous Night.

One-Shot Vanilla Town

X-Shot Reroll

Roll a 1d5 to determine the number of shots the roll possesses. Then reroll; the player now possesses that role with the X-Shot limitation.

If the role makes no sense with the X-Shot limitation, nothing changes to that role but the role still flips with the X-Shot modifier. (Eg: VT --> Flips something like 2-Shot Vanilla Townie). (In essence, the role is a named variant.)

If the role already possesses an X-Shot modifier, then the rolled value replaces the pre-existing x-shot value.

Actually X-shot vanilla town becomes a survivor after X cycles.

Werewolf Day-Bulletproof

Town 5-Shot Bulletproof

You will survive the first 5 kills performed on you at night. Kill is defined as being anything except modkills and lynches. (This may be changed dependent on the setup, but the bulletproof SHOULD protect against mafia, werewolf, and serial killer kills minimum.)

This role contradicts, does it protect against dayvigs or not?

Town Night 2 Nightkill Diffuser

As long as you are alive at the start of Night 2, the nightkill of the largest anti-town faction with a factional nightkill will be aimed not by that faction, but by plurality vote. Each player gets a vote on who the nightkill should target. The

Town-aligned

player who receives the most votes will be nightkilled. (So you can't stop the kill hitting Town – like it probably would anyway – but may well screw up the faction's ability to kill the person they wanted.) The votes will not be made public (although it's certainly legal for people to claim who they voted for, the mod will not confirm this).

I'd reroll this if I found this in my game, it has no town utility at all.

Vanilla Townie

Town Black Boat

Each night, choose one of the following two effects:

• Repair: Choose a player. If that player would die toNight, they automatically revive 24 hours into the following Day. If a player is scheduled to revive this way, their flip will be no-reveal.
  
• Transport: Choose two players. If a player belonging to your faction would target the first chosen player, their action is deflected onto the second chosen player instead. If the deflected action would be detrimental to your faction (moderator's judgement), it is instead roleblocked. In either case, the original action doesn't go through.

Been playing advance wars dual strike have we?

I think it has quite a lot of town utility.

If the nightkills worked like that every night, it'd give a notably large boost to town EV; you all vote for the same person, and if they don't die, they must have been scum. So you're basically getting a free investigation on Night 2, as long as you organise the town in advance.

Also, would you reroll Vanilla Townie? That has even less town utility. There are a ton of roles in this thread which have been designed as "basically VT, with an ability that might potentially become relevant with small probability"; I've been adding them intentionally because they're more interesting than VT for the player who gets them, and I think other people have too. So I'm surprised to see you object to a role that is actually somewhat useful.

(On another note, the Black Boat isn't the only Advance Wars-inspired role in that section, although I was thinking about the series as a whole, rather than AWDS in particular.)

Got it, the non-public part made me feel it was bad. Sorry about that.
Also yeah I could tell they were AW inspired I just commented on the obvious one.

That was a mistake on my part; yes, it protects against day vigilantes.
