We don't really need another tk, let alone a gimmicky one like this.

What do we ever really need?

We do need more TKs. But I don't like this one.

[cob709]

We need more TKs because vigilante, veteran, and jailor are difficult roles for Mafia to fake claim.

That's true but I don't like this one.

Imo Medium is a pretty underrated role already and doesn't need many changes. Making it a TK doesn't really make sense and letting evils vote on whether or not you deal an unstoppable attack to somebody is not gonna end up well.

[cob709]

Medium is problematic because its skill floor is too low, especially since copying and pasting dead chat is easy

change this so that medium is a jester of sorts. if medium dies n1, they get to choose someone to haunt, because medium's curse.

Any killing role that's reliable are difficult for Mafia to claim.

Hmmm....
How about this, if you are killed N1 (discounting pirate or witched jailor), one of the following options happens

• When you seance you redirect any attacks to your killer (maybe even buff the attack up one level?)
• When you seance, if your killer tries to kill your target they are instead dealt a Powerful attack
• If you seance your killer you roleblock them

Wow I actually like this idea. It will be much harder to confirm compared to current Medium, but it is possible a highly contrived meta could evolve of something like "if there's another Medium then have the townie with the highest number vote against cursing," but it wouldn't be completely foolproof since that player might actually believe the cursed target is good. If something like this becomes an issue then it could easily be fixed by not notifying the Medium of what each player votes.

Overall I really like the role. It's useful, gives the dead a voice, and is hard to confirm.
