No. That's an awful idea. The POINT of the king is that if you out him and the protective roles in the game are dead it DOESN'T MATTER if all mafia is known because THEY know who the king is and can kill him that night and town can't do anything about it.

i like this role, but it seems a bit obvious. i like the idea that if the king is outed to anyone, that person dies. its a good idea. that being said, it can also be that everyone gets a message saying there is a king in the game, which i think would be smarter if you did something to tweak it a bit so it doesn't seem as obvious
Maybe if ONE townie got the report of who the king is. Or two. But everyone? Dang dude. Plus, it might be obvious. Wouldn't everyone just shut up and follow him except the mafia? Boom, you know who mafia is. GG.
Oh and that one or two townie can be like a sacrifice. If the mafia or something ever try to kill the king, the townie can take the bullet for them.
Just some suggestions. I like it though, good job.
on the other hand.. you mean a different form of CULT LEADER " don't you ?

this works if the King Can resurrect himself from the dead 3 days later.. after mafia won and start a new game with his followers. lol OVERPOWERED..LOL
I like this, but it takes literally one person to out them and then the king dies. It can also out maf too easily, if people did a massclaim to a clear, then suddenly everyone would have a claim, and then all the mafia would get outed. This would work well in sandbox, where all roles are randomized, but not in clear/defined setups. Suggestion time (im new to this part, i dont know if they're welcome on a role suggestion, but its worth a shot) , I would suggest that the king could choose 5 people to out themselves to (at random) on N1, and then needs to be attacked twice (on two separate nights, or two separate attempts) in order to die, like a bulletproof. (royal servants take the bullet, or something). This would help make it tougher for the king to die, and makes it easier for cops/checkers to see who is really the mafia.
So long as the game has doc/bg in it, this role works, otherwise game could end n1. So yeah, I'm not at all unhappy with this role, but it IS an autoclear to all villagers, maf just need to figure out who it is.
I like it. Obviously it would be in a setup with a doctor or bodyguard so that they can make sure the King doesn't die n1. The King obviously wouldn't die during lynching or as long as saving PR are alive. Can be very balanced depending on the setup.

This is a meh role for me. If this was used in sandbox, someone could easily just out the King, and roles like this with random win conditions can end the game n1, which is very annoying. I'm not gonna neg or plus. I'm neutral with this idea.
