The Marshal’s current Investigative abilities run a little too similar to the Mastermind’s. Why not change the Marshal’s abilities, probably Snoop, but Probe would be better, and give him the ability to change what people look like tomorrow if they are executed in court. Call it Slander or something else so its not too similar to the Scorned’s nightly ability Frame. This way people won’t just shout and point out that, “That sheriff hasn’t found anything in X days.” It could only frame characters who could be converted, so no Evil Prince or Evil Alchs/Kings, and would only last the following day in court, but wouldn’t actually make them look unseen if they were investigated by say the Sheriff. This would give the Marshal the ability to actually lie about what they were doing, which the way I see it is the primary theme the devs are going for with the evil factions. Just an interesting thought I had after watching/playing the game for a bit. Would also have the potential to slow down whether or not you automatically take the sheriff at his word, since he could just as easily be a lying Marshal who has Slandered someone.
Interesting addendum, all possible Slanders the Marshal could perform would likely have logs that their evil counterparts would lie about having. A Sage would lie about MBing, A Servant would lie about Partying, a Alcoholics and Drunks practically have the same abilities, Poacher’s would lie about Bearing and possibly even Wolfing, Duchess would lie about Wisping and can already basically Flirt with Bat Eyelashes, Aristocrats and Nobles are just like Drunks/Alcoholics and have the same abilities, Enforcer’s would lie about guarding people.
