Servant - Neutral (Benign)

[Ezradekezra]

Role Name: Servant

Role Alignment: Neutral (Benign)

Abilities:
- Carry out your employer's abilities for them each night.
- Once during the game at night, you may act independently of your employer.

Attributes:
- At the beginning of the game, you will be given an employer. You will share a chat with your employer, and you will gain access to any exclusive chats (Mafia chat, Coven chat, etc.) that your employer has access to.
- Your employer cannot be a Jailor, Veteran, Mayor, Medusa, Survivor, Amnesiac, Guardian Angel, Executioner, Jester, or Pirate.
- Each night, you will carry out your employer's action for them, while your employer stays home.
- If you are roleblocked, your employer will carry out their action themself.
- When acting independently of your employer, you will be able to use your employer's abilities independently of their command. Your employer will be able to act themself as well when you use this ability, effectively granting an extra use of your employer's abilities.
- If your employer dies while you are still alive, you will inherit their role. This takes priority over Mafia promotions.

Notifications:
- Your employer is [player] the [role].
- You've hired [player] as your servant!

Goal:
See your employer win the game.

Win Conditions:
You win if your employer wins.

Note: Neither the Servant nor the Employer has to be alive for the Servant to win. The Servant simply shares their employer's win condition.

Special Attributes:
- Gains the special attributes (attack, defense, roleblock immunity, etc.) of its employer.

Investigative Results:
Sheriff - Innocent
Investigator - Your target whispers a lot. They must be a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Guardian Angel, or Servant.
Consigliere - Your target earns their living by doing the bidding of another. They must be a Servant!

Additional Information:
This is a more fleshed-out version of a GIM role I made a while back. I'm not entirely sure how balanced it would end up being in practice, so feedback would be nice.

I'd be intrigued to play this.

I want to take a closer look at it at some point though. I'll get back to you.

Inital thinking says that this is very hard to fakeclaim without a scumbuddy and claiming it makes you confscum if your employer dies.

I really like this idea! Super cool, for sure.

One thing---I don't think the Servant should be able to do the ability EVERY NIGHT. Maybe make it so that they can only use their employer's ability 3 times in the whole game? that would make it more fair & balanced i think
^^Under those conditions, I think it would be allowable for Veteran & Medusa to be potential Employers

regardless, /support!

It doesn't grant extra uses of the employer's ability except for the one-shot independent action, so I don't see how that'd be too OP in its current state.

It's kinda like how the Mafioso performs the kill for the Godfather.

I like this idea, I think it would be especially useful for evils. Do you have to be alive with your employer in order to win like a witch or can you win while dead?

It can win while dead

As long as the employer wins, the Servant wins

I have a few questions.

- Is this role available in Normal Modes? If so, would the Servant be able to work for a Witch?
- Is this role unique?
- When this role independently uses their master's ability, does it cost the master? (e.g. the Servant decides to shoot someone, will it cost the Vigilante one bullet?)
- If an Amnesiac remembers they were a Servant, who is their target?

- If you mean Classic and Ranked, then not unless NBs are added to those modes. It's able to work for a Witch tho.
- No
- No
- The dead Servant's target would be chosen. If that player is also dead, then the target is chosen at random.

I really like this role, it's kind of like a Survivor in my eyes but with an affiliation.
Just want to remind that Mafioso is one of the most hated roles and this will act very similar to a Mafioso, except the employer will be more happily sending the Servant into dangerous positions (jailor, etc.).

Also confused why you can act independently for one night.

And finally you can simplify the attributes, it's a simple concept.

Acting independently gives it more utility and makes the role require some degree of skill to play, since otherwise it would just be a NB Mafioso with nothing special to it

Not sure what there is to simplify about the attributes section
