Town of Salem NEW ROLES/GAME MODES?

over 7 years

The Coven is a new faction of witches that will enter the never ending death fest that is Town of Salem. The Coven will include 5 new witch roles, and the current Witch has taken the role of the Coven Leader! One of the Coven’s greatest strengths is the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon’s ancient powers will amplify the abilities of any witch that possesses it! The Coven will summon the Necronomicon early on in the game. When the holder of the Necronomicon dies a random Coven member will get the Necronomicon.

Coven Roles

Hex Master – Master of the art of spell slinging whose attacks won’t take effect until all members of the town are hexed, then a devastating blow will be dealt.

Poisoner – Poison is the trademark of this witch. A skilled herbalist with the knowledge to mix slow killing poisons that give her plenty of time to flee the scene.

Potion Master – A powerful alchemist with the ability to heal, reveal, and attack a player! It will take time to brew your potions again, so choose wisely.

Medusa – A snake haired monster gifted with a gaze that turns people to stone leaving no trace of who they were.

Necromancer – A failed Retributionist scorned by the town, they use their powers to exact their revenge!

Coven Leader – The Witch we all know and love has assembled a Coven of her own and uses her voodoo powers to lead the Coven to victory against all who would oppose them.

Town Roles

Crusader – An overzealous protector whose ability to protect can easily backfire.

Tracker – A woodsman with a talent for tracking those not wished to be tracked.

Trapper – A silent protector whose traps can do more than just kill.

Psychic – A gifted seer with the ability to find your darkest secrets.

Mafia Roles

Ambusher – A stealthy killer who lies in wait to attack when least expected.

Hypnotist – A skilled hypnotist who can alter the perception of others.

Neutral Roles

Guardian Angel – Overlooking your charge, protecting them against harm, that is the life of a Guardian Angel.

Pirate – Plundering booty, a Pirate’s life is full of danger when your wealth is stolen from others.

Plaguebearer/Pestilence – A god among us the Plaguebearer is spreading disease to regain his powers as Pestilence, Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Mystery role – This role will be a neutral killing role, so it will only show up if there is a Neutral Killing, Random Neutral, or Any slot in the game. This role will be super rare, so keep your eyes out for this super cool role!

Rotating Game Modes

VIP Game Mode – List of Town vs Coven with a few neutrals splashed in. The point of this mode is to protect, or kill the VIP depending on what side you are on. The VIP is a randomly selected Town member and gets revealed to all other Town members as the VIP.

Lovers Game Mode – Lovers mode will link random players together in the game in the bonds of love. If your Lover dies you will die as well. Keep your Lover alive at all costs! Will you ride of into the sunset, or will you die of heartbreak?

Rivals Game Mode – In Rivals mode you will have a grudge against a random player in the game. The Rivals must make sure their Rival is dead in order to win.

I am just trolling around. This is the new complete list.

Quoting is a hassle so @cub my response was more towards xxero's idea of someone who has a constant effect while alive. I think it would have to be a single target effect to be tolerable at all.

It actually reminds me a lot of my radio concept (https://epicmafia.com/role/15723), which is a sh*t idea but for more reasons than just false reports.

not sure about hypnotist. i liked it at first and then i realized it turns every investigative role into confused cop, a useless role I and many others despise. it renders all cops useless considering there couldn't be a way to find out which reports are fake or not that would work well

What setup could that possible be used for? In a normal setup where you see all the roles, everyone would just realize to reverse all reports they are given.

In a closed roles setup, it's just chaos because there's no way of knowing until you test sanity (and then you don't know if its this role or just insane cop) or unless it does.

MAYBE you could get it to work in a no reveal setup but then I think the metagame would end up being "investigate the same guy until the reports change so then you know the truth."

idk how tos implements it but to me it'd be like an active lawyer, but instead of picking mafia and clearing from cop reports only it'd pick a town role and fiddle with their report, doing stuff like converting guilties to innos and randomizing visits for trackers and such

since you can never tell whether your report has been sabotaged there's no role meta and investigating the same person over and over again doesn't do anything. you can ASSUME that once investigative outs in open roles that they'd get fake reports from thereon out, but then it becomes a game of WIFOM: are your future reports backwards, or did the mafia not visit you? it adds the element of uncertainty characteristic of a mafia role

Don't suggest third party roles without a win condition

Yeah, sorry. forgot Black Goo has no win condition.

It works if there was a Cult Goomaker :D

Honestly, it would be fun if we have a role that makes another role that can not be used into setups :P

Another fun role is the one that makes another player Lightning Rod. For one night , all who select an action, without knowing target the player who is lightning rod.

OH, another fun role is the Black Goo. A role that when someone visits, turns into cult :P (without a leader)

Then they will end up wasting their time investigating the same person :P

It is true, it is good only in closed setups :) But that's the point :P You know how everyone lynches so easilly in Sandbox XD

We need a role that as long as alive changes the report of everyone alive to the opposite of what they would normally receive.
AKA Cop gets inno instead of guilty, tracker gets no visit on someone who visited, watcher gets a report when no one visited the watched target. ETC

hypnotist doesn't exist on epicmafia okay we can't win at everything just most things

fabricator does not give fake reports, heartbreaker is totally unrelated, and vent does not give fake reports at best you make them yourself until you're discovered as vent which will happen soon after

it fabricates reports, which has been suggested countless times here but never implemented

Fab, heartbreaker... the use of the hypnotist might be similar to the use of the ventriloquist.
