[Class Suggestion] Priest and Heretic (Social)

That’s incredibly weak. There are only 2 attacks in the game that hit 2 people and both of them are limited use.

It is not the defining ability of Priest. It is not supposed to be strong. Just an extra that fits the Priest lore. I would not call it incredibly weak though, as unlimited ablity this can easily prevent someone else from dying. That is equivalent to a heal that landed.

Adding it is just a small nerf to Eradicate mainly. The difference between getting 2 kills up from 1 was really big. This slightly reduces the expected number of kills from such ability.

Update and revamp!

That Devout passive and Anoint ability remind me of something…

But I vote for limited-use whisper reading for 2 targets if it’s really going to be a part of it

Anoint was here already, I just renamed it from Absolve.

Either one works.

@Hippolytus I see you saw this, is it garbage or no lol

bump :sleeping:

Hey I remember seeing this but I forgot to write my thoughts on it.

Stop forgetting plz

On that note, I owe somebody else a role review

So karma I guess

Yay finals

That pun did not go unnoticed

poll v2

Would you prefer my current whisper reading ability, or one that works kind of like Sheriff’s scout, where you hear all whispers from a person you choose until you swap the ability’s targets during the night?

  • Limited-use whisper reading, 2 targets
  • Unlimited whisper reading, works like Scout

Alright I like the Scout thing too, so that’s in

I gave the Heretic two-target reading because duh

If you disagree with this let me know thanks

I feel like the confessions are a kind of redundant ability. Psychic and Prince both have the ability to speak with people. Why do we need another, weaker one?

Flavor and anonymity

Flavor is cool and all, but it sucks to be a class that another better one can always do better. The night abilities are cool, but not the main power. I feel like for this to viable, you’d have to change Psychic and Prince.

Something which we should not do to the required extent. Those classes are fun.

Honestly I see no reason you can’t have both

The anonymity is a pretty big difference

The Priest not knowing who they are hearing confessions from benefits only evil classes. That means evils can lie about their identity, feed them false information, etc. I think the class would work perfectly without Psychic and Prince, if not better than the both of them, but it is just inherently weaker than both of the above.

I personally would prefer this above either of them, but Psychic and Prince make it very weak.

I like the idea, but it could use some changes.

RNG is bad. The only things which should be determined by RNG are the class you get and scorned/merc’s targets. Just remove this, psychic already has a similar ability.

If you remove confessions, then change this so you will hear your target’s night chat tonight(You will only hear them, not anyone else they talk with). And replace inquisition with this as well.
