The Magistrate [Neutral Investigative]

@Kape

-Class type will allow you to pick a type along with this ability
-Visit will allow you to target an additional player
-Faction will allow you to pick the targets faction

I think Class Type / Visit are good ones
Difficult design block since you need to have a third one and Faction is very townsided

There’s three ways in my mind you can take it from here:

• have faction base it off starting faction (that’s saved in the game’s data so it shouldn’t be hard)
• have the feedback from correct / incorrect guess happen later
• leave as is

[Kape]

Also that’s wasting time so just check for BD for easy marks.

[katze]

also

would you pick from

BD
Neutral
Cult
Unseen

or

BD
Neutral
Unseen/Cult

i feel like the meta for this class is gonna be

n1: faction check BD
n2/n3: visit knight/chrono/phys to prince, or phys/alch to bleeder if possible, else just some random claimer as what they claim

[Geyde]

@katze

except you need the BD you find to die and once you use it once you cant faction check anymore

if you greenpeek somebody
odds are they are going to be converted or die sooner rather than later

this is my biggest problem with it
it seems like playstyle is super linear

[katze]

so lets think

in a 16p

excluding self and king, so 14

you have…
2-3 other neuts (including NK)
2 cultseen
10-9 BD

in an absolute worst case scenario you have a 64% (9/14) chance of finding a BD n1

in this current meta i think this class gets all 3 of its targets by N4 almost every game

i know part of the design of this class is to discourage the current meta but i doubt that’ll happen without cultseen/NK getting some buffs

in a longer game i think this class will have a pretty high winrate

@Kape

Win condition: See 3 players you successfully used Trial on die.

do you have to survive

[Kape]

“See” implies you have to survive until you achieve your win condition.

[katze]

thought so, but wanted to double check

this class feels like a slightly scum-sided alch from what i’m seeing in my generated scenarios in my head

[Ami]

did someone say

remove fool

[Kape]

Renamed to Magistrate due to feedback

[Magnus]

Everyone else: Judge isn’t a great class.
Kape: Alright it ain’t Judge anymore.
