Explanation of Design
The idea behind the passive of the spy is to fill another role that a prior patch opened up (information on king election).
The rest of their kit is to create a sort of reverse Noble. The Bug ability catches day abilities, which would want to be used to find Assassin/CL/Nk. This is the opposite of Gossip, which requires the noble to out themselves to be effective at finding fake-claims. In addition, bug can find classes that cannot be found with the Noble’s gossip. The Snoop night action is subject to change, but functions in a way to dig up specific information and has internal synergy with Bug, albeit incredibly delayed. It’s a flavor thing. The reason for having Connections is to be in line with the other easily confirmed BD social classes, with some other minor actual applications.
In regards to the Double Agent, the main inspirations were numerous mafia deception roles from ToS. The intention of this converted class is to, among other things, is to sow deception in a similar manner to Herbalist. Like the Illusionist, the Double Agent’s ability to play the role of a Spy is extremely difficult, and will quickly lead to their death if suspicion of a Double Agent existing arises.
