mctsts:
sounds a bit similiar to a role we used to have:
Claimspace | Town Miscellaneous
Basics
The Claimspace has no special abilities, and is only there for claimspace.
Details
For each Claimspace in the game, an extra role is added to the role list along with Claimspace, however no player actually is this role. When the role list is sent, it is not noted which role is not actually in the game.
The Claimspace is privately informed which role the extra was. If there are multiple Claimspaces, each Claimspace has their own extra role.
Raven1207.2:
Yeah it's like a reverse Thief(?)
shapechange:
i think this can probably be closed
Raven1270.2: Basically similar to Thief but it's ability makes it where the rolelist has 1 extra role than players. and Maniac is always aware of the out of play role when it changes. Besides that, their action is that they must choose someone to switch the role out with. The restriction would be that if they were to replace the last role of a specific team, then the action doesn't go through(so like if it was to replace the last werewolf and there was no werewolf helper that could turn to a werewolf, the action doesn't go through and no roles are changed that night). Additionally, if they were to replace a role that is the "leader" of a group(ie Cult Leader, Flute Player, Devil, Pyromancer, Vampire) then it would defer to their helpers.
As for win cons, I was thinking that it could either survive til the end or alternatively, win with the team that the out of role is on.
