- You will always be unable to shoot a second time at a given Player's house, assuming the "Only One" clause is active.
- Bodyguards cannot defend against the Huntsman, due to their attacks being indirect. However, a Doctor can heal someone from a Huntsman's attack.
- The Huntsmancan kill themselves (via Transporters). Killing yourself, another Huntsman, a Lookout, an Ambusher or Medusa takes priority over killing your Prey (as there is only room for one...).
- A Huntsman will not be killed by a Trapper's trap.

Example of how a Huntsman can shoot themselves:
Spoiler: Huntsman targets Transporter as Prey.
Transporter Transports themselves with the Lookout.
Huntsman goes on Transporter's target (the Lookout).
The Transporter is attacked but is defended by the Huntsman from the Huntsman who attacked them.
The Huntsman dies to Huntsman.


Lore:
A talented young man from a rich family sits down at his desk, shuffling a pack of cards. Each with a name written on them. A name for each time they had mocked him... the fools. The Godfather, sending his Mafioso to his home, blasting his front room full of bullet holes, not that the Mafioso could stand a chance against his shotgun; the Sheriff with his smart remarks about how he should be sent to the asylum; the nosey Lookout, always spying on people; the Doctor who sneered at him while patching his wounds.

The clock struck midnight, and a little smirk appeared across the young man's face. He slammed the cards face down onto the table, stopping only to straighten the pile before taking the top card and turning it over. Tossing it aside, he turned around, and walked toward the fireplace, taking his shotgun off the wall, and picking up the shells from the top of the mantel. "A single bullet. I only need one to blast them away... but where will he be tonight?" the man mused, waltzing towards the door with a skip in his step.

The door slammed shut, and the card floated down to the floor, showing the name of the town's most renowned Spy on the face of it. The man who had mocked the Huntsman for his attire, and now the Huntsman was going to show them all he wasn't a man to be trifled with.

This is just a better Executioner which can kill. Could be made into a Town Killing though which makes it a combo of Vet and Ambusher.

I definitely see your point regarding the better Executioner, and I can see how it could be used as a Town Killing as a direct answer to an Ambusher, as well as acting like a Veteran with an additional subgoal of potentially killing another townie in order to win with town. Which, I do agree is an interesting way to observe them as a role and could create chaos for town.

However, I guess two of the biggest things I wanted to address through the huntsman is the confirmation issue surrounding the executioner, as well as the claim space for evils, such as Werewolves, and Mafiosos changing to Godfathers.

Once an Executioner has failed to lynch their target it is obvious they are town. With the Huntsman that wouldn't be possible, since their prey could be from any faction. It could also potentially challenge elements of the Jailor/Mayor meta, since a Huntsman could visit them night 1 in an attempt to get a quick kill, and simply claim to be a Huntsman working with town, and acting as a bodyguard. This "bodyguard" aspect of them would perhaps make town think twice about lynching or executining them, particularly as their goal doesn't necessarily contradict town's goal, due to the fact their prey could indeed be an evil - giving them a true neutral appearance to all factions in the match.

Regarding claim space, at the current time, it feels as if there is little claim space for Werewolves. By them claiming to be a Huntsman they can reduce their lynchability, as their "Prey" may be evil. Due to the Huntsman coming up as suspicious, it would also open up space for evils who come up as suspicious, particularly for Random Mafia, who, for example, to confirm themselves could visit a target, while a Hypnotist sends a message to one of those visitors confirming the Huntsman's scope.

Although, I have considered the idea that the Huntsman may be able to convert into a member of the Mafia, Coven or Town upon successfully shooting their target, I felt that this could potentially be unbalanced.

It cannot kill non-visiting, astral, or otherwise indirect roles, and thus it cannot win.

Yes that is correct. I’ll noted its target cannot be a non-visiting role. :) I’m the event of its prey’s visits becoming Astral, the Huntsman treats it like a physical visit.

Similarly to how exe can’t have a Jailor or mayor as a target, the huntsman is unable to have Astrals as one. Hopefully that could lead to a huntsman finding a Janitor for Example, claiming a non visiting role, while they are their prey.

Unless you mean make a major alteration to the fact non visiting cannot be prey? If so any recommendations? I am happy to edit this as many times as need be to get it correct.

They work similarly, yes. The Huntsman effectively hates the Ambusher, due to the “there is only room for one”. Trying to outsmart an ambusher who is your prey as a huntsman would be interesting to see, since you can effectively trade lives, if you no longer have basic Defense.

Alternatively, a huntsman may call out a mafia prey in exchange to be lynched as a jester. Of course this could backfire heavily on them - alternative issues may include being accused of being an executioner, while claiming huntsman. You can easily dispute this via a spy seeing you in the bushes.

It's not NE, it would fit better as NC. It doesn't have any abilities that disrupt Town, and it can kill directly, thus NC.

Fair warning, I know many of the ideas in this are pretty shitty/unbalanced, but I have a lot more knowledge of role mechanics and balancing now than I did then.

While I see your point, I disagree - since once its job is done it cannot kill anymore. Also it can cause issues for town since it has a single directive. It's primary function is to disruption - however I will consider reworking parts of the mechanics to fix it and make it fit slightly better into NE. I would rather it be NE than NC, because NC doesn't feel right for a single objective/killing role.

Re: Role Idea - Huntsman Neutral Evil (Poll on Prey Up [8/2/

Postby CapWarrior2 » Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:23 pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this role has large kill capabilities. It can shoot Roleblockers, kill the prey when your visiting or if it visits you, Kills attackers on them or their target, has Powerful attack. I feel the killing should be put to a minimum or else it will be more of a Neutral Chaos then an Evil role.

Upon reading your comment, I have nerfed the Huntsman a little, after discussing it with some others. I have removed the capacity to shoot roleblockers - and instead forced them to just stay home. I have also reworded their basic defence and added the priority list. :) Furthermore, he has been forced to put his gun away once his target is killed - maintaining a one-time defense (with out the killing capacity).

I have also decided to stick to visiting roles only as prey. This way the unpredictability of the Huntsman will add to the gameplay and potentially effect meta. There is always at least 7 visiting role in game (Ranked||Ranked Practice: TI, TI, TP, Mafioso, RM, RM, Witch).

One word:
Pirate.

BMG has shown that single objective killing roles are NC. NE roles are Witch who manipulates visits and has to see town lose, Exe who has to see a townie get lynched, and Jester who has to be lynched. Jester is the only NE who kills, but he kills as a reward for succeeding, not a requirement. While NC is basically "fun, but unbalanced roles that don't fit into the other neutral subalignments very well", at least we see that roles like this one would be placed as NC by the current trends of the game devs.

I respectfully disagree with you.

This role's killing capability has also been nerfed significantly since you last checked in (I don't know if you read it through a second time).

Here are the reasons why I disagree:
1) I am trying to make it balanced (hence why I would rather people suggest balance fixes right now).
2) Kill Capacity Nerf
3) Once objective is complete the ability to kill is REMOVED - unlike a Pirate.
4) You can cause disruption. This threatens Jailor Meta to some extent.
5) Conversion - You will convert into a jester if you fail to kill as a huntsman.

I have no intention of changing the role to Neutral Chaos at the current time.

Although, if you have suggestions regarding Balance or making it more NE-ish if you feel it is too in between the two types, feel free to suggest the alternatives. I am happy to consider them.

Re: Role Idea - Huntsman Neutral Evil (Updated 8/2/21)

Postby alex1234321 » Thu Feb 11, 2021 7:21 am

I like this role, but there are a few small changes I would make. First, I would require that the Huntsman's prey is Town. If the prey is an evil role, then the Huntsman would be very helpful to the Town whereas it would be harmful to the Town if its prey is a Townie. To make things more consistent and make the role fit better into Neutral Evil, I would require that the prey is also a Town role. Since the role is more scumsided with that change, I would remove the mechanic where it kills attackers and just give it a regular scumshield. Evil roles like Huntsman tend to side with killers, so it wouldn't make sense for the Huntsman to harm potential allies. I would also allow it to target someone every night because it seems very hard to win as right now. You have to predict who your prey will visit, which is similar in difficulty to predicting who will die as a Doctor. If anything, it's harder since you don't know your target's role. You don't see Doctors healing people too often, and if you only gave them three heals it would be even rarer.

Hey Alex, thanks for your input.

I have updated the role so it now does the following:
1) Prey can only be Visiting Townies.
2) Huntsman has unlimited Visits.
3) Huntsman now has a POWERFUL defense. This deals with Werewolves nicely, and would make sense considering the character is wielding (supposedly a massive) shotgun.
4) If attacked at night, the Huntsman is roleblocked that night but will not shoot their attacker.

What I have updated:
1) The Only One clause - I think this adds a little bit of spice to the Huntsman's life, and fits in with their characteristic of trying to be the "best" (This now includes attackers onto their initial target).
2) Killing someone who attacks the Huntsman's target (--not prey) removes the Huntsman's scumshield completely. This makes Mafia/Coven and the Huntsman have to carefully consider who to visit. Elsewise the Huntsman may fall victim to a Vigilante.

Let me know if that makes it more balanced and more NE-ish. :)

1: NE shouldnt be able to directly kill

2: This shouldnt have powerful defense, tbh not even basic defense, I dont see a good reason why vigilantes, jailor, vet and crus shouldnt be able to kill this (maybe give it a scumshield but thats all)

I disagree on the killing function but I guess that's something we will have to agree to disagree on. - Personally I am in favour of having a more unique NE role that can do as it needs. Currently the Nes we have are dull.

I can nerf the defense back down to basic - you also have to remember that if attacked, the role is roleblocked and cannot do what it was originally going to.

Jailor can still exe something with a powerful defense.

Vigilantes can still kill the huntsman, if the huntsman has lost its defense (via a reaction kill).

Why is it bad for NEs to kill but it's okay for TKs to? Both disrupt the killcount, and if anything TKs mess it up more.

I agree that this shouldn't have powerful defense. I would prefer a scumshield.

Because NE are NE, NE in general are roles with abilities (or the objective) to distrupt town directly without killing
And also we must keep in mind that this ranked rolelist will stay like this for a long time
And this role would cause the same problem than ambusher currently causes


Thats one of the many reasons of why jest shouldnt be NE

And also TK can kill because its literally their main purpose, kill

Define the problem that ambusher currently causes.

In terms of swing, I'm okay with NE being similar to RT. All NE roles share similar goals similarly to RT. And it's perfectly okay that RT can role either Vig or Sheriff. If anyone had a problem with that, I think I'd see at least one thread talking about how RT should exclude TK, and I've never seen that suggestion before. The problem with Ambusher is that Mafia roles are an informed minority that should rely on deception as opposed to quick kills. This role can only kill one player, which is way less than Ambusher and less than any TK role. Also it's technically Neutral Other as opposed to a true NE, so it doesn't have to side with the informed minority.

I would make it so that it has to be a Town role that has the ability to visit permanently. It would really suck if your prey was a Vigilante who decided to never shoot.

I see this could be problematic in some ways, but you could always CC vigi or persuade them to shoot someone

That’s definitely true. But it’s much harder to convince a Vigi to shoot someone than to convince a Sheriff to check someone.

;) Yeah but it's still fun to do. I mean Exes and get confirmed Vets as targets. It would be the same-difficulty level as that.
