Ghost Role Suggestion

deletedabout 10 years

Role Name: Ghost

Alignment: Villager or Third Party depending on which works better. (*Phantom would be mafia version)

Appears as villager to self until killed (Nilla if phantom)

If ever killed, will become a ghost and be sent to limbo. To the rest of town, it will appear as though they died a villager and went to the graveyard.

At night, the ghost chooses one person to possess. During the day, the ghost can speak through the possessed person and determines their vote. The ghost cannot used the possessed persons abilities or items. (like guns) The ghost cannot possess the same person twice in a row. A possessed person does not speak, and will not die if shot by gun until sundown. Possessing a person will not appear as a visit, and will not change the way the person appears on cop reports.

While in limbo, a ghost cannot talk to people in the graveyard, see night actions, or see peoples roles. A ghost can, however, speak to other people in limbo.

A ghost wins if the mafia, or third party role that killed them, loses. A villager will not become a ghost if lynched - only if they are killed by someone other than town- but a phantom will become a phantom if either killed OR lynched. A phantom wins if the village, or third party role that killed them, loses. Either role wins normally if they are not killed. Phantoms and Ghost cannot possess trees, zombies, or fools, and will be laid to rest(sent to gy) if ever attempting to possess a Priest or Angel.

Final Note: With this role comes the possibility of other roles that can detect ghost or possessed people, or can see whos in limbo, like a clairvoyant.

TL;DR: chooses one person to posses a night, during the day speaks through that person and determines their vote. wins if killers team loses

That's why I said it's alligned with town or third party depending on which works better.

Shouldn't ghost win with the town if it's sided with the town? Sounds like a 3rd party.

i like the possibilities of interesting set ups with these roles, like version of classic or something.

i had an interesting idea similar to this -

Sneak -

Sided with the village.

At the start of the game, chooses one person.

When the Sneak dies, the Sneak can see all items every player has. (guns, vests, etc.) The Sneak does not see if an item is fabbed or not.

Upon death, appears as blue.

The Sneak, upon death, can talk (in the day only) to that chosen player. The chosen player cannot talk back to the Sneak.

Trickster -

Sided with the mafia.

Does not attend mafia meetings.

At the start of the game, chooses one person.

When the Trickster dies, the Trickster can see all items every player has. (guns, vests, etc.) The Sneak does not see if an item is fabbed or not.

Upon death, appears as blue.

The Trickster, upon death, can talk (in the day only) to that chosen player. The chosen player cannot talk back to the Trickster.

I think it's an interesting idea, but I'd like to know what y'all think.
