Ability’s that have yet to be used:

Silencing night chats
Reading Ability results
Erasing journals
Tampering with journal reveals
Class reveals
Forced whispers
Seeing votes early
Hearing evil chat
Invisible votes
False votes (people see someone voting for someone when they aren’t)
Neighborhood chats
False conversions (Unseen/Cult thinks you are converted/evil when you are not)
Fake conversions (You think you are Unseen/Cult when you are not)

Social classes are hard to come up with. This list could help you get started.

Examples on how some of the more controversial ability’s could work in the real game.

False conversions - The starting evil king and the possessor can sort of do this (the possessor not anymore). As the possessor if you possessed an unseen/cult you would meet with them (which was awesome btw but OP for the Possessor)

Fake conversions - In addition to making someone unseen in all but wincon (while telling them that they are just unseen) you could add an effect instead. For example: the unseen are X, Y and Z. If any of them are executed during the day or at night by the prince then you will be instantly converted. (the target would be told all of this)

Hearing Evil Chat - This should simply not be used ever. It causes too many problems for the game.

Class reveals - The only reason I can see for someone being able to have a full class reveal is a BD class dedicated to lying (I have made a suggestion like this)

Hello, thanks for the ability suggestions! I recently made a class suggestion called “The Monk” (I’m new to this forum and Im not sure how to link my post, but it should be under recent posts), in it I also used a class reveal that only happens when you are hanged (similar to the hunter’s passive). I think class reveals would be okay in situations like that since people who want to avoid having their class revealed just have to be careful about accusing him.

With all of the talk around bringing back the noble (And the priest too I guess but mostly the noble.) I think this list needs more attention.Try and use the things in the ability’s that have not been used list or one’s that are used by classes that don’t anymore.

For example my current noble suggestion uses: Mason chat, Hidden whispers, Additional votes and Reading Whispers (not like maid spy.)
