You’re going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You’ll walk again… soon.

ok but how do you know who to gives bombs to and who to gives self vests too, it too difficult to know if you helping town or hurtin town since you dont know what roles people are

why does a bomb roleblock for 2 nights just make it be like food that's rotten that makes the person sick for 2 nights the merchant sells it to town because he's an asshole lol

evil shouldn't get roleblocked at all otherwise this cant be NE the merchant knows not give them bad stuff or they will come back an kill him (lore wie

also the goal should not just be witches goal

maybe make it sell 3 products evil people (town wont count) once it does that it leaves the game cause it out of stuff to sell and needs torestock

Okay, your English doesn't seem to be the greatest.

Make it sell 3 products TO evil people?
What would being sick do? Just roleblock them for two nights still?

The merchant automatically RB'd their target by giving them an ability, it can't be the same thing.

i would get rid of the crossed out info stuff since its no longer relevant

==============================================================

you should also add you get told the night after if the person you visited was evil or not cause otherwise how would you know how close you were to completing the goal

and add like a 2-3 day cooldown (maybe forever prolly too harsh) on giving an the same evil person the same product otherwise you just keep visiting them and that too ez

===================================================

it doesn't need to be day ability instead do this

if you the person you visit at night was town
-then they get roleblocked the next two nights

if you the person you visit at night was evil
-the next night after you visited they get a pop up box telling them you visited and let them choose what buff they want with a potion master like UI with 3 choices

=========================================

onto the the abiilities

these abilities need to passive buffs/changed cause forcing a killing role to use a self vest or consig result means they cant kill that night, aslo why would evils ever want to heal that goes against their goal of killing town

your abilities gives dont really help evils that much but hurt them the buffs need to passive

like basic defense if def was basic all ready becomes powerful, astral visit, sheriff immunity etc

those are just ideas you could prolly thing of more orgianly passive buffs

I meant to word both NK and NE/NC one as You have to give out a bomb or an ability every 2 nights.
But okay.
The evils don't have to use their newfound ability, they can also use both abilities at the same time which I forgot to mention.

this looks good but it doesnt need to be a day ability read above what i wrote let them choose what buff they want

=============================================

if you the person you visit at night was town
-then they get roleblocked the next two nights

if you the person you visit at night was evil
-the next night after you visited they get a pop up box telling them you visited and let them choose what buff they want with a potion master like UI with 4 choices

letting them choose the buff makes the role more dynamic as opposed to you just giving choosing a buff that may not work for them

They do choose their buff, read the second line under attributes.
Also evils can't be roleblocked.
Town is.

okay it being a day ability means you cant be stopped at night that's to strong

town protection like crusader and trapper and bg cant stop you LO cant see you and tracker cant follow you

this also removes the risk of vet ambusher and medusa

it needs to be a night ability rbing someone two nights is very strong it needs counters, it's not just because of mechanics it cause of balance

if concerned the role will be slow change goal from 3 to 2 evils and make it so the same evil person cant be visited Again

Sorry, didn't think about it as a day ability.
Will change to 2, you were the one who suggested three anyways.
Will make it so it can't visit the same evil person.

i see no problems with the role then i would vote for this role in TG

maybe the choices of buffs can be reworked to be more original but for now they work and buffs can easily changed

oops i missed something

You will be told if you have given an evil an ability.
Evils are not forced to use their ability.
Evils can use both abilities at the same time.


-i don't think the last one is mechanically possible at the moment i would remove that
-i like that they can refuse it but since most of the buffs are passive now i doubt they would though

How the fuck are you supposed to find 2 - 3 different Evil roles to give a gift to?
There are 5 evil roles in a game not including you, that you can give a gift to.
Games usually last for 5 - 7 days, so if you give 1 ability to a Town member, you've instantly lost.

Please consider these parts.
RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.

Alright, I have submitted it to TG. (messaged the TG mods)

Also I did change it a bit to where abilities no longer take two nights, is that fine? (Basics opinion)

So it giving out abilities once per night is fine? I don't see it being good, I find it O.P.-ish, but I want more opinions on the matter.
