If Possessor uses Puppet Strings to force X to kill Y, I propose that Exhume on Y identifies the killer as (the class of) X.
This way, Possessor has room to counter Exhume, which at the moment is infallible.
This would also make sense lore-wise.
question here… so poss controls joe the physician into a knight.
are you saying it should say “was killed by joe” or was killed by “physician” Obviously any non killing classes will pretty much be equally confirming of a possessors existence.
at least if my understanding of exhume right now that would say “was killed by possessor” Short of controlling an assasain though it doesn’t seem like that would make exhume any worse for giving your class away.
If Possessor forces a Physician to kill a player, the Exhume would say Physician killed them. Of course, as you point out, this informs Blue Dragon that it was really Possessor … but it also tells the Possessor the class of the player he targeted. Which is obviously extremely useful.
And this makes room for some interesting plays; for example, Possessor can repeatedly use a killing class in order to hide his existence. He can use Prince to make the Exhume claim suspicious. Or he can use Alchemist to frame the Alchemist.
Or the physicians says, well a class who can’t kill killed possessor game and doesn’t say the class
Wait a nice buff would to let him know the class of whoever he controlled as well

Even if the Physician does that, the Possessor still gains information - that his target is not a Killer.
I agree. Wouldn’t it be better to remove his ability to read whispers of a Puppet Stringed target, and instead just let him see all chat history of a Possessed target? (I know you had already proposed the latter).

Don’t remove it. Add the chat history and THE CLASS thing.
It’s still much more weaker then the other NK it’s just a lot more informed
Tbh I want your chat history and class-identifying thing to replace, not just be added to, the realtime whisper reading thing.
The only reason whisper reading exists for Poss anyway is to counter the possword meta (which I believe is universally and unanimously disliked)
I mean still, we can focus the possessor into a more information type killer, by being able to let him still read whispers.

The issue with adding more NK’s is that more of them makes each one less likely meaning that people are less likely to care about the strengths of each NK when making decisions before the NK is known

I think that’s a very weak argument against adding more NKs, I don’t think I’m in the minority when I say the more classes the better, people generally like variety
look at league of legends

It means that if possible you should make each NK cover as much as possible and only make a new NK when this is impossible or impractical
