Interesting Idea to make Marshal a little more useful as Unseen convert

They really don’t need to proved as sheriff to lie

They can claim any class if they really wanted too not just sheriff

But you’re Sheriff, chances are high you’ll claim to at least the king if not an outed prince, your job is to investigate and report what you find so the other BD know what’s up. That means claiming early and that’s usually before you get converted to Unseen. Once you claim, you usually can’t change your claim.

And if you don’t claim, and don’t report anything, you’ll be put up for trial. And then if you have nothing you’ll be exed as Marshal.

This is why Marshal’s get exed

He does share an ability with sheriff. That’s probe. But it’s so much stronger.

Expert Investigation is like a much weaker probe

You can just claim sheriff

Nothing preventing you from putting logs out or to report stuff

Marshal can claim sheriff even with no ability’s whatsoever

I though u had to change ur claim to mystic tbh

I like Slander.

Marshal is fine, the only changes it needs are changing probe so it works regardless of faction and reworking expose so it doesn’t rely on the prince. It’s useless once the prince is dead and isn’t even that useful while the prince is still alive. I do like slander though, it could work as a herbalist buff.

Probe doesn’t need that though

It is already a strong ability

Plus now if you run into a neutral you can just snoop him

Then you make princess even when finding faction

Even still weaker

Unseen should have a way to find neuts though. It would help them coordinate with evil neuts. And abilities shouldn’t be dependent on their target’s faction/class.

But it can find NKs really easily which is not really good…

Unseen can’t tell if they are sorc though. And they can’t find sellswords

Nightwatch, Duchess.

Mostly nightwatch

Sorry couldn’t reply before because of the limit on new members. And I agree that anybody can technically claim anything, including a Marshal claiming Sheriff. But from an ease of life and theme standpoint, the Unseen converted classes should be good at lying especially as what they were prior to conversion, meaning their abilities back up what they claim to be. While a Marshal will claim Sheriff, usually because before conversion he’s already claimed privately to king or already publicly when outing Unseen, he’s usually going to be dead because he hasn’t found anyone to be the Unseen, and well imo that makes for a poor lie. And as far as claiming Mystic, if anyone asks the people who were supposedly linked in his logs they will be found out and then exe’d in jail or during the day. Additionally, its usually dangerous to change your claim after you’ve already claimed, as that will likely out you if anyone has it written down like: Mystic, Prince, King, or Noble.
