You need to edit your post now and add a role. :D

Babysitter

The Babysitter may each night protect someone from being killed. However, if the Babysitter is killed, the Babysitter's target will die as well.
ooooh i like this role, can i steal it
Yah, if you edit you post with a role submission of your own :P

Grand ideas rands roles from post numbers here. Every time someone posts here and don't submit a role, it will be a re-rand in the future when I actually run this game. Please make my hosting life easy :)

Town Tracker
If they don’t edit them, I’d just make those VT roles.

Town Pawn
A pawn moves one step at a time.
Each night, you may target another player. If you are not blocked, you advance 1 on your board. Targeting a player essentially has no function other than advancing on your board.
The fifth time you advance on your board, you will be mod-confirmed as town and gain a one-shot day vig.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town Convenience Store Clerk
Or
Mafia Inconvenience Store Clerk

If a player targets you in the night, they will also purchase a type of random convenience store item. When they purchase from you, their vote in the next day will be worth 0, unbeknownst to them.
If you are Town, all items will either have no effect or will be beneficial in some way.
If you are Mafia, all items will either have no effect or will be negative in some way.

You will not know what was sold or what the effect these items have in the moment.

As a one-shot day action, you may choose to close up shop and assess inventory. Upon doing so, you will receive knowledge of which items were sold and exactly what they do. This also means that during the ensuing night, you will still be closed and may not be targeted by any ability except for a killing power.

*Note: it is up to the host to determine the abilities and items sold in the convenience/inconvenience store. Think 7-10 items, with ~33% having no effect

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Scotty’s Martin's Witch

Every night you may manipulate a player into targeting another player with their role's ability, regardless of requirements unless it makes no sense (ex: using a daytime vote-based killing ability during the night). You can not force self-targets.

Each time you successfully manipulate a player, you will also gain an ingredient to add to your Potion. If they were of identical alignments, you will have a 10% chance to receive a rare ingredient. If they were of different alignments, you will have a 50% chance to receive a rare ingredient (Newt Spleen, Pig Snout or Molted Snakeskin).
Otherwise, you will receive a common ingredient (Batwing or Toadstool).

No one you manipulate will be informed that they were manipulated, though checks and the like will show the result as the new target. If you manipulate a player who is committing a factional kill, you will manipulate the factional kill and any other actions they carry out. You will also gain an extra ingredient.

Each day, you may brew a potion with ingredients you’ve collected. You do not readily know what these potions do but you will immediately glean their rewards when brewed. (Note: the effects are up to the Host to designate as they see fit)

1 Batwing, 1 Toadstool = Stinky Potion
1 Batwing, 1 Newt Spleen (rare) = Putrid Potion
1 Toadstool, 1 Pig Snout (rare) = Grotesque Potion
Some combination of 2 Toadstools/Batwings + 1 Molted Snakeskin (rare) = Sublime Potion

You win if the Town loses either while you are alive or a full cycle (day + night phase) after your death.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town Sandwich (Independent, Town or Mafia)

You are a sandwich. But which kind? Each day phase, the amount of votes you receive without getting lynched determines the type of sandwich you are that night. (Self votes don’t count, and vote manipulations can affect the outcome):

If 0 Votes: You are a Lettuce Wrap, and have no caloric benefit.
1: You are a Chicken Salad Sandwich, and are usually ordered by old people and those on diets. You may send a message to another player in the night (<50 words).
2: You are a Fried Chicken Sandwich, and are basically a junk food. You may target any player and the host will send you 3 possible roles that player may be, one of which will be true.
3: You are a Pastrami Sandwich, and are fatty and flavorful. You may target a player, and if that player ever votes for you the next day phase, they will instantly die.
4: You are a Tuna Sandwich, and are high in mercury. You may attempt to shoot another player, but there is a 25% chance you shoot yourself.
5: You are a Hoagie, and should not really be considered a sandwich but people seem to love you for some reason. You may remove yourself from the poll the next day phase. This may not be used on consecutive days.
6: You are a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and not only are you not even a sandwich, you are probably one of the leading causes of diabetes.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town or Mafia Conquistador

As a night action, pick two targets. If either targets the other in any capacity, you will instead block their action(s) and steal one (randomly decided if both targeted each other) to use on the following night, in addition to your normal night action.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town or Mafia Flasher

If you are ever night killed, the killer will be roleblocked if also using any non-lethal ability.

If you are ever lynched, a player of your choice (post-mortem) will lose their innocence, and until the end of game that person’s vote will be worth 0. They will be notified of this.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town Fossil

This role has no abilities until it is targeted in any way (except factional kill).
Upon being targeted by one player, your vote is worth 2 the following day.
Upon being targeted by two or more different players in the same night, you instead gain a 1-shot ability the following day/night rand’d between the following:
-watcher (night)
-lynch freezer/day ender (day)
-night skipper (day)
-remove any player from poll (night)

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Town Animal Balloon

For each vote you receive without being lynched, you accrue an “offvote” total. If you are ever lynched with fewer votes than your “offvote” total, you POP! and remain in the game only as a Stump: for all intents and purposes dead with no vote power, but can post like a regular player until game end.

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

3p Pizza Delivery Driver

At the beginning of the game, all players will be divided secretly by the host into pizza topping preferences, so that each player loves one type of topping, and is allergic to another type of topping. (There should be pizza toppings equal to 1/5 the player count, rounded up. i.e. 22 players = 5 toppings)

Each night, Pizza Delivery Driver visits a player with a two-topping pizza (your choice of toppings).
If one of those toppings is desired by the target, it is a successful delivery and they will be roleblocked that night.
If none of those toppings are desired by the target, they keep the pizza but are unsatisfied with the delivery and the Delivery Driver will start the next day with 1 extra vote against him.
If the target is also allergic to one of the toppings, they will die at the end of the following night [unless they are healed in some form before then].

You win if you successfully deliver pizzas to 4 different people. (This number can change for balancing purposes)

Re: Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

Blind Dog

You follow your nose because it’s all you’ve got.
As a passive day action, you will receive either a positive or negative confirmation [at end of day] of whether or not a player that has yummy steak that day is not town-aligned (This will include the lynchee, if applicable).
As a night action, you may target 3 people. If any of those 3 people receive votes the next day, they will have yummy steak.

You may not target the same 3 players twice in a row.
