Maniac (Neutral Killing)

Postby SuperGDPWYL » Mon Apr 04, 2022 10:23 am

Role Name: Maniac (Neutral Killing)
Summary: You are a citizen who was driven insane.

Unique
Attack: Powerful
Defense: Basic Shield (Permanent Basic after snapping)

Goal: Get revenge on the Town for how they treated you. (Kill anyone who opposes you.)

Ability: Snap and begin killing the townsfolk.

Attributes:
- You may choose to snap at night during the day.
- Once you have snapped, you can attack a person and kill them, their visitors and who they visit.
- You will die three days after snapping if any opposing faction remains.
- If you are roleblocked by an Escort/Consort, you will ignore them as well as kill them. You will also destroy their will.
- If you are roleblocked by the Jailor or the Pirate, you will kill them if you survive. You will also destroy their will.

Investigative Results:
Sheriff - Innocent (Suspicious after snap)
Investigator - Vigilante, Veteran, Mafioso, Ambusher, Maniac, or Pirate
Consigliere - Your target is about to go insane. They must be the Maniac.

Example:
If you decide to snap D4, you will begin attacking N4 and will die D7 unless you are the last one standing.
If a Maniac snaps D4 and by D7 only them and roles that can win with them remain (Jester, Survivor, Pirate, Guardian Angel, victorious Executioner, Witch), the Maniac will NOT die.

The role depends mostly on timing when you snap to be able to win before you end up dying yourself.

I really like this role. Of course you might need to modify the time before you die but that's something that can be determined with testing. I would suggest giving it basic defense from the start since you don't want it getting killed by Mafia early in the game.

maybe make it basic from start? and upgrade to powerful when they snap? just a small buff so it doesnt die early.

Sounds good but an NK should have the same goal as other NKs, maybe move it to NC?

I would suggest moving it to NC even with the NK role. It's more similar to PB that is weak early on and becomes much stronger later than an NK that generally stays at a similar level of strength throughout the game. Jugg gets stronger as the game goes on but not to the extent of this role or PB/Pest.

This role is ok, though the goal isn't exactly clear if you ask me

It's just "Kill everyone who opposes you" but reworded for flavour
