What’s the difference between the black lotus kill and the ordinary night kill? Is there an ordinary scum night kill, or is it either the black lotus kill and the metamorphic kill?
Yes.
When I was going over the roles last night, I thought that Erika’s ability was a bit dry, lacking meat. Messenger + fruit vendor is a bit on the boring side. I was apprehensive about that one, and now that you bring it up, I’m not sure it’s a great idea. What do you think?
I’m not sure I understand how it works. Erika will know that the gift isn’t functional, but the person receiving the gift thinks it will do something? What will your message to the recipient look like?
What do you think about changing it to a limited inventor? i.e. keep it the same, but make the item do something (the receiver still won’t know exactly what it does, but Erika might be able to find things on Amazon that describe the ability well enough).
I would limit this to maybe 8 different one-shot gifts. So he wouldn’t be able to give a jailkeep or cop ability 8 times.
Erika picks something from amazon, hoping, say, a stethoscope, will give the target a doctor ability, and you decide what the item from amazon will actually do?
I was thinking more like, he chooses to send a doctor ability, and picks a stethoscope, hoping that conveys the right idea. It wouldn’t be particularly difficult to play, but I think it would be fun and/or interesting.
It’s hard to guess how balanced this is! It’s swingy, in that there are potential upgrades that add a kill or that make someone kill-immune. The impact of the vote modifier could be interesting. But the roles look fun, and in a short game day situation the interactions should be pretty hilarious.
