Additional Information:
I realized that the role could be confusing, so I've created some examples to explain everything in further detail.

Example A: Basics
Player A is a Serial Killer.
Player B is a Jailor.
Player C is a Vessel.

Player A is dead. Player C assumes the role of Player A during the day. Player B jails Player C.
Player C decides not to caution, and kills Player B.

Example B: Investigative Results
Player A is an Investigator.
Player B is a Medium.
Player C is a Consigliere.
Player D is a Vessel.

Player B is dead. Player D assumes the role of Player B during the day.
Player A checks Player D, and sees them as Medium/Janitor/Retributionist/Necromancer.
Player C checks Player D, and sees them as the Vessel.
Player B chats with the dead for the night.

Example C: Trappers and Lookouts
Player A is a Vessel.
Player B is a Mafioso.
Player C is a Lookout.
Player D is a Trapper.
Player E is a Jester.

Player B is dead. Player A assumes the role of Player B.
Player E has a trap on them.
Player C and Player A both visit Player E. Player C sees Player A visit Player E.
Player D sees that a Lookout and a Vessel visited his target, and that his trap was triggered.
Player A dies to the trap, and Player E is saved by the trap.

Why is this a NC role when it has a NE wincon

It's also just Klepto with a fresh coat of paint

Hmmm.....I don't know how I feel about this role

I just feel like it could be a bit more unique & interesting

Girl idk anymore, I don't keep up with the roles nowadays. But I do see what you mean about the NC with the NE wincon, I'll change it.

I've changed how the Vessel functions. When the Vessel kills someone, they will now be unable to assume the next day.

Previously, if they remembered a Killing role, they would have been unable to assume the next day. I realized that Coven and Neutral Chaos roles had kill capabilities and were not Killing roles, and therefore would not be restricted. This way, all roles with kill capability will be included, and if you attack a role with defence, you won't be penalized.

I've also made it so that if a Disguiser disguises a mafia member as a Vessel, they will simply come up as a Vessel, and not the role that the Vessel assumed that night. This way, it isn't as confusing.

I have other changes, but I'm not sure if I should implement them for the time being.

Is there a list of roles that you cannot Vessel?

Is there a list of roles that you cannot Vessel?

Nope, you can vessel every role in the game. Even if you can't use their abilities, you'll still gain their properties (ie. Assume Executioner, gain Basic defence for the night, etc.).
You can assume roles with day abilities, but you won't be able to use their abilities.

Isn't this basically Coven's Necromancer but as an NE?

Isn't this basically Coven's Necromancer but as an NE?

Although Necromancer and Vessel are similar, there are a few distinctions that separate them.

Necromancer can only use visiting roles, and doesn't gain anything from using them.

Vessel gains the abilities AND attributes of a graveyard role, including Mediums, Retributionists, Executioners, etc., meaning that they can give themselves defence.
Necromancer cannot use Medium because Medium doesn't visit. However, If a Vessel assumes the position of a Medium, they will gain access to night chat for the night.

If Necro uses a NK (SK, Arso, WW), they kill with the zombie but are still vulnerable to attack. If a Vessel remembers a NK, they will kill AND gain defence equivalent to the assumed role.

Vessel also changes investigative results for themselves, and can also use stoned/cleaned targets. Necro doesn't do that.

If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to answer them! I appreciate the question! :D
