Basing New NKs on already-existing abilities

Feedback/Suggestions
#1

I’m going to pretend a new NK is a real possibility and try to classify (very succinctly) the style of the current 3 NKs and then try to identify some new styles which could inspire a new NK:

  • Identity Theft & Remote Control (Possessor)
  • Time Bomb (Sorcerer)
  • Dead seem alive / Alive seem dead (Reaper - referring to reap and chill)

There is of course the Plaguebearer concept also:

  • Contagious Infection (Plaguebearer)

Werewolf, Serial Killer, and Arsonist styles are merged with previously listed classes.

Here is a list of what I believe are attacks which one could base an entire NK around:

  • Butler Poison
  • Old Merc’s Rebound (could take revenge upon anyone who prevents you also)
  • Extortion (privately notify a player they will die unless they perform a certain action)
  • Snare Trap (victim dies if they do anything tonight, but aren’t warned beforehand)
  • Hunter’s Arrow (entwine the fate of two players, if one dies or is executed, the other dies also)
  • I might update this list

I think a new NK would be cool, actually I always like when new classes are introduced.

I really don’t think you seem to get that plaguebearer isn’t an NK

Also any reworking of plagebearer into NK would be a subset of Arsonist who at its core is just about a status which mass kills based on a trigger (usually a detonation)

Also I think arsonist is really bad at doing the job of a NK which is to balance everyone

well the version of Plaguebearer in my imagination is an NK that is significantly different than arsonist

Your version of plaguebearer does not exist anywhere and is thus undefined. Do not use it to describe anything until you have given it a specific and public definition

It’s also not in ToL

contagious poison, that’s it. doesn’t take an Einstein to see that

Considering that your definition wasn’t provided and you were using the name of a different role with a different definition how the hell do you expect anyone to get the right idea?

Also that’s just a subset of arsonist who is about delayed kills
