What about the Warlock and PWV? Technically, they don't do anything either that is an active action.

Hmmm...

Technically, the Warlock sets up his wards ahead of time, so I guess you can't stop him.

Paranoid War Vet is still actively working to defend himself, though, so I'd rule that he can be stopped.

New Alien idea: The Alien Scientist

Goal is to analyze as many players as possible. Once he has analyzed all living players, he wins. If he dies or the game ends and he has not analyzed all living players, he loses.

He analyzes a player by drawing them up into his ship and running tests on them. This prevents that person from performing any night actions and from being targeted by any night actions that night.

He also gets one piece of alien tech, since this is a rather difficult goal.

Thoughts?

I like it.

References to anal probing should probably be avoided, though. Just being preemptive.

[JoshuaFH]

So he's some deranged mixture of a roleblocker, protector, and detective?

If he wins once he has "analyzed all living players" does he just disappear from the game at that point, ala agent hunter?

Heh heh heh

Correct. And, yeah, he is kind of a mixed role. I debated giving him Agent level info on the players he abducts, but that might be too unbalancing. As it is, being able to role-block someone and prevent anyone else from even investigating them is pretty powerful. It'd be overpowered, I think, except that he's neutral.

[JoshuaFH]

Would he run the risk of triggering defensive roles like the PWV or the mad scientist w/ turrets?

What sort of message would a person targetting a person being analyzed get?

Hmm...no, I think he'd have to be safe from those to make it a viable role. Which is ok, since he uses his ship anyway and there's not much a gun is going to do against that.

Probably something along the lines of 'You wake up in the morning with a pounding headache. You have a vague recollection of bright lights and strange, alien eyes staring at you.'

[JoshuaFH]

No, I meant, what would a person attacking/inspecting/telepathing a person that's getting probed get?

Would it be something like "Hungry for blood, you sneak into Chaoticjosh's house. You prowl around but find nobody. You wait for several hours, but he never comes back. You go back before the sun rises."?

[webadict]

Dislike the idea. He would have to analyze a lot of players and avoid death/lynching, or he analyze a few dopps and avoid death/lynching.

[NUKE9.13]

It could work... especially if he gets two item slots. Because, hey, he wants to a)Kill as many people as possible and then b)scan the survivors, right? It would be like a more likely to win exterminator.

Oh, yes, something along those lines.

Here's a possible thing I could see the Doppelgangers pulling off. Fakeclaim as Ghost, and claim that the Ghost doesn't want to die because he wants to keep his ability to vote. (Of course the Doppelgangers aren't going to kill some stupid Ghost. He'll just come to life. They'd be better off killing other people.)

Plan falls apart if the Town wishes to confirm the Ghost by murdering him. The Ghost must argue that lynching him will allow for the Doppelgangers to trimpuh.

[inaluct]

The Ghost will be changed next round. Also, it wouldn't work because wanting a vote instead of being proven and invincible would be retarded.

Yeah Ghost is OP.
