True, that is a solid point.
Drunk feels like a boring version of a Knight
Death Knights should be Two Days
Drunk is awesome now! You protect people and know what would have happened to them.
Knight is the boring version of Knight
Problem being that if you don’t have a target to protect you don’t do anything and you get no feedback that you are doing anything either.
At least Knight you can protect the King and know you’re doing something. If you suspect someone you can kill them. As a drunk you can’t protect the King and if you suspect someone you can’t do anything about it other than tell someone and probably die for it.
It’s a strong class, but it’s extremely boring to play most of the time, especially in games where you have no idea who anyone is. Court Wizard is in a similar spot in some ways. Both require you to know who someone is, once you do they’re pretty strong (Drunk being stronger imo), but if no one is talking you just sit there doing next to nothing (or worse actively helping Evil because you’re accidentally protecting them by drawing off/preventing investigations).
Don’t forget that old Drunk debauchery wouldn’t stop evils either. Just sacrifice yourself in a way that might incriminate the Wrong person anyway. Now you can protect someone.
If you suspect someone in particular you can always use happy hour to delay them.
