Role Interaction Expansion

cub

Role interactions already exist. Some more notable interactions include: drunk + driver, hooker + virgin, penguin + penguin, and so on.

Role interactions add an extra layer of complexity for experienced mafia players and an extra level of creativity when making setups. In closed role setups, they simply make everything more interesting and keep the game fresh since they're very uncommon and always neat when they happen.

Since they can make a big difference in gameplay (you might not think at first that putting drunk and driver in a setup would turn drunk into a vigilante), an "Interactions" list could be added to role descriptions for roles where this mechanic applies.

Current interactions (to be listed)

  • Virgin - When visited by a Hooker, becomes a Villager.
  • / Hooker - Can turn a Virgin into a Villager.
  • Drunk - Drunking a Driver causes him to die.
  • / Driver - Dies if visited by a Drunk.
  • Mistletoe - Becomes mafia if visited by a Hooker.
  • / Hooker - Can turn a Mistletoe into a Mafia.
  • Arsonist - Can kill a Tree.
  • Paranoid - Investigating an Alien will appear sided with the Alien.

Suggested role interactions (vote below)

  • Bodyguard - 100% chance to kill when protecting a Celebrity.
  • Butterfly - Being trapped by the Trapper triggers the butterfly effect.
  • Shrink - Cops visited by the Shrink always receive a correct report.
  • Deputy - Shooting the Sheriff reveals him as the new Sheriff.
  • Traitor - If visited by the Yakuza, becomes a Yakuza.
  • Snowman - Snowman is immune to snowballs. (system message: The snowball has no effect.)
  • Survivor - Visiting the same house as a Fool reveals the Fool to the Survivor.
  • / Fool - Visiting the same house as a Survivor reveals the Survivor to the Fool.

i dont get this lol


traitor is a mafia ally and yakking a traitor is pointless under almost any other circumstance, so instead of becoming a nilla which is a wasted yak it would become a new yak which helps mafia marginally instead of just sacrificing one of their numbers to recruit someone already mafia-sided

tbh loudmouth should never be fiddled or silenced thats not so much an interaction as much as its just common sense i guess.


there's no reason a loudmouth can't be fiddled, but i agree not being silenced is a good idea


oh yeah ur right. i tried to make it make sense but i never could.

maybe LM can still be heard by fiddled people but as an anonymous voice? they gotta be loud.


what if the blinder fails as long as a lightkeeper is alive

also, i would make bodyguard kill an attacker and die every time so it isnt based on luck

this too: if creepy girl's doll comes back to her, everyone who held it gets killed.

cub could you tell lucid to fix visits. logic of visits doesn't work the same for tracker than for watcher. https://epicmafia.com/topic/79729?page=1
