I honestly feel like RB is too good at confirming BD classes (or at least that they were originally BD) and ruining common evil claims. Many, MANY things have been changed through this game’s history so it’s harder to connfirm stuff, so I’d like to see RB changed, but still kept somewhat the same role.
- First off, when King dies, anyone can now step up right away, Royal Blood or not, it doesn’t matter.
- Once everyone has stepped up, you vote on whoever you want, whether they have RB or not.
- Votes for RB players are now worth 3x the votes against those without.
- Everyones votes are now kept anonymous.
What this does is keeps the same idea for Royal Blood, but without the confirmation. Now you’d see a confirmation when you see how a person with 2 votes (with RB) beats out a person with 3 votes, so you’d know your new king had royal blood, but this cuts out so much of the confirmation and allows evils to claim things they couldn’t before. Noble is now a better claim for more than just Possessor (since they jump anyways, who cares if you’re claiming a RB class?). Princess is a way better claim for MM, Drunk is a much better claim for OG or Butler-converted Invokers, etc.
I like the idea behind Royal Blood, but we need less things that confirm in the game. Social deduction games are like a puzzle that you have 80-90% of the pieces, but the last 10-20% should still be based on a bit of chance and trusting others, as though these people have the last few pieces to your jigsaw puzzle. When so many things are still confirmable (Mystic Link, Merc Guard, Butler Party, Drunk Deb/HH, Hunter Wolf, Noble Day Abilities, CW Tornado); I just think we could do with one less.
