Roles and how to use them in a set-up

This is a list of roles that are used in set-ups and are used to give their alignment an edge. Here is a list of role types and how to use them

Town investigatives

These roles are used to gather information for a player. From the common cop to a tracker. These roles should be few and far between due to the power they give

Town protectives

These roles are used to keep players in the fight. These are quite useful roles and are particularly potent in smaller games. A maximum of 2 should be used

Town support

These roles are used for a variety of reasons. From giving players items too having extra votes these roles should be most plentiful in a role madness game. At most 4 should be used.

Town useless

These roles are Vanilla town and tree stumps. Both these roles have no special ability but should be used the most and are needed in a balanced set-up.

Third party killers

These roles are designed to kill constantly. Whether it be by fire (arsonist) or knife (Serial killer) these roles do major damage but should be used sparingly.

Third party Beign

These roles are none to be the most dull roles of all. The two prominent ones are amnesiac and survivor and they have very different uses

Mafia Deception

These roles trick town into submission by altering results or causing confusion. These roles are very varied and are important in any mafia game

Mafia Powers

These roles are high functioning damage dealers. These clear the way for others or improve the kill. These are not necessary

Mafia investigatives

These roles are either new roles (Like a consig) or are mafia versions of town roles (rare ). These roles are not too useful but they allow scum more opertunities to attack high profile targets. One is enough
