Hello Sandboxers. Lucid is interested in making new roles, and I know you guys have a bunch of good ideas, so what I'd like to do is get a list of all of the best ideas in this thread and have a poll that you guys can vote on for lucid to make.

On an unrelated note, if you guys know of any bugs with existing roles, please PM me so I can test it out and forward it to lucid so they can get fixed

@Soluciones I liked the hourglass, but i'd replace the "Killed" with a "lynched". It'll make an intresting ML-able kind of a villager, and allow setups with 6/2 and a more intresting scumhunt.

Widow (Suggested by: Logan i think)

- If lynched mafia kill is guaranteed.
- Sided with the mafia.

First, I thought it should be town and if lynched be like a punishment (just like LK & Leader), but now I think it's better being mafia since mafia will have a guaranteed kill but they'll have one less mafia. If it were town, there would probably be some trolling but with it being mafia it's more balanced.

I also think it could replace Secretary role since there are already enough town punishment roles.

----------
Apprentice (suggested by art2378: https://epicmafia.com/role/3677)

- Will become a Mafia killing member (vanilla maf) if last mafia alive.
- Will appear as Villager when investigated until then.
- Sided with the mafia.

Like a Consigliere but better. Consigliere will always want to convert themselves to mafia N1, but Apprentice doesn't have this option. When the last mafia is killed, they will kill at night, simple but good.
----------
Assassin (by B3D14, revised by me)

- Receives two targets, one at a time.
- At night, may (or not) choose to kill the target given.
- When assassin kills that target, another one appears and same decision should be taken.
- If investigated when decides to kill, will appear guilty (Assassin for detective). If that night doesn't kill, will appear innocent (Villager for detective).
- Wins only if the two targets are killed by them and still alive at the end of the game. Win does not override other victories (e.g: Monk win).
- Sided with the third party.
----------
EDIT: Hourglass

- If killed, night meetings will be skipped.
- Sided with the village.

Locksmith
=========
+ Gives a key each night to a player.
+ That player can lock himself in the house during any night of the game.
+ Key is useless and does nothing.
+ Sided with the mafia.

So the role 'everyman' (which is supposedly a role which has every other roles features) is broken and bugged, and outdated, so here is the updated version of it:

---/The Polymath\---
Heal meeting- Saves someone (doc) cannot be converted (surgeon) 50% chance will kill attacker if visited, 50% chance he will die(bg) will be role blocked (nurse, drunk) will fall in love with person (lover)
Learn meeting- Learns someone's role (detective) or Recieves a report of persons alignment (cop) will receive all reports a night later (lazy cop) also learns what items they have (snoop) gives this person a bomb (anarchist)
Destroy meeting- Kills one person (vigilante, cm, killer) receives their reports (journalist)
Convert meeting- converts someone into polymath to share night meeting, (cult, Mason) however takes 1 day to convert (zombie) If polymath is targeted chosen person will die instead (ghoul)
Starts with a gun during the day, starts with a vest, a crystal, a key, a bread. Can cry out during day (crier) message a role (spy) receives a random Carol and gets visited by penguin (Caroler, penguin) Notified who visits him (priest)
Acts as governer or invis man (both only once) can jail or chef during day (both only once)
If ever lynched, reveals the person they chose for heal meeting. If they are dead, reveals learn meeting. (Orc) Gets to bring another random person with him to the grave (hunter) mafia can not kill at night (Virgin) lights are out next day (light keeper) there is a party next night (party host)
If killed during day, kills attacker (bomb) but starts to bleed and won't die until end of next night (bleeder) town goes into famine (baker)
Appears as mafia to cops (miller) town can't win with polymath in game (autocrat)
Sided with town, polymath wins if still alive when town wins (mastermind), or if lynches the person he is in love with (lyncher, fool)
Good luck coding, also to balance there should be a polymaf, who is sided with the mafia

Delayer
-If present during the day, the delayers effect comes into play
-During the day, any guns shot, will not be shot. Any bombs bombed, nothing will come up.
-At the end of the day, all guns that were shot will be shot. All bombs that were bombed will be bombed. Let's say X kills Y at 1 minute in the game, and Y kills X 2 minutes in. At the end of the day, when all gun shots are revealed, the person who shot second takes priority over the person before him. So X would die, and Y would live.
-Sided with the mafia

- if lynched, saving roles won't work that night.
- sided with the mafia.


this ones good

this ones also good

https://epicmafia.com/role/3415


just make all of my role ideas because they're solid tbh

Also, the name I had was Sacrifice (which was made a few months before Widow) but the name Widow can stay.

Daily reminder that a mod needs to edit the Tinkerer role description to indicate:

"Guns raided from the Tinkerer's workshop lack a silencer and will always reveal the shooter."

Whitiker says

Yandere
Maf

at night chooses one person to love, the following nights if the person loved by the Yandere visits anyone except for the Yandere then the yandere will kill them, regardless of who they visited or was visited by, can only be saved by traps, vests and not visiting anyone, traps will kill the yandere, only works on visiting roles. people who are loved by the Yandere will receive the system message "Someone is watching you intently"

if the yandere watches a non visiting role then they will be notified after a day that they have gotten bored of their target and will be able to choose another person. if yandere has killed someone then they get to choose another person, if the yandere is visited by their lover the lover will act as an unwilling bodyguard, from then on taking any bullets and kills in stead of the Yandere.

if a lover was killed instead of the yandere then the yandere's love ability no longer works and will instead act like a hooker.

does not attend mafia meetings, shows up as mafia, can be thulu'd and can target other mafia.




seconding this!

Medium
-Communicates with the dead
-Learns their roles
-Useful to games where you cant see dead roles [Maybe if jan is in the same set too]
Or they could use it once on one person.
Idk maybe it'll be too OP.



There's a role called Mortician that's like this I think.

Anyway:

Hypnotizer:
-Sided with the mafia
-Chooses one person at night.
-That person will not be able to talk. Instead, the Hypnotizer will talk for them.
-Does not attend mafia meetings
-Ability only works once

This is basically Disguiser+Silencer.

hippo

∆ sided with the third party
∆ starts as "hungry"
∆ each night, can choose to eat someone. this kills the target. if successful, the hippo becomes full and gains a level of fullness. if unsuccessful or if the hippo does not eat, the hippo loses a level of fullness
∆ for each item the target has, the hippo gains an extra level of fullness
∆ depending on how full the hippo becomes, different effects will occur during the following day. the effects are as follows:

º Starved to Death - Level 0 - the hippo dies
º Hungry - Level 1 - no effect
º Craving for more - Level 2 - the hippo can't vote on the following day
º Ruthlessly snacking - Level 3 - the hippo is fiddled and can't vote on the next day
º Gorging on everything - Level 4 - the hippo is fiddled, silenced, can't vote on the next day, and can't use any items
º Fully sated - Level 5 - the hippo wins the game

∆ can only win the game by being fully sated
∆ bonus effects for shots and goggles:

º if Lazy cop, Baker, Chef, or Strongman are eaten, the hippo gains two levels
º if the celebrity or actress are eaten, the hippo loses one level
º if the Alien or Werewolf are eaten, the hippo gets poisoned
