Role: Gumshoe.
Alignment: Crewmate
Base Role: Crewmate Support.

The Gumshoe has the ability to "Check" people by being next to them and clicking their ability.
If they check a Crewmate, the Gumshoe will be able to know their role (And their add ons IF settings allow it), helping the crew clear some people.
If they check a Neutral or a Imposter however, they will die. (Either instantly by checking said person OR as soon as the meeting is called, meaning the Gumshoe won't be able to get the info out.)
If they check a CONVERTED, INFECTED, CHARMED or a MADMATE, they won't die and will get the information that they got turned.
They will also know in the meeting if someone they checked that was previously crew was turned one way or another. (A good counter to Gangsters and Infecious that will usually target Super Star and Bait.)
Note: Madmate/Converted Gumshoe will be able to check anyone freely without the punishment of death. Infected or Charmed however, cannot.

Settings:

Amount of Investigations: 1 - 9
Target knows they got checked: Yes/No (No by Default.)
Know the add-ons of set target: Yes/No (No by Default.)
Can be Converted: Yes/No (Yes by Default.)
Dying on the spot: Yes/No (No by Default.)
Can check turned evils: Yes/No (No by Default) ((AKA If a Imposter gets Charmed or Infected.))

Thoughts? DGheheSmile

Idk, looks pretty interesting, but weird. Overall, I'm more in favor of adding this role than against it.

Ngl, yours feels a lot like Seer from Town of Us.
I'm trying to make a role that can be played with and without the ability to claim roles, as in my lobbies, we only claim Doc and Bait. (Sheriff and Veteran can claim if they killed and Snitch can if they finish their tasks.)
I'm trying to find a solution to the charmed/infected problem as there is almost nothing that can detect those roles outright. (But also trying to find a new role to add in.)
Which is why I came up with this. DGheheSmile
I wonder what the creators will think of this, I thought of it during work.

This would be really interesting and I think a good addition! I like the solution for infected bc I feel like the infected always win when they’re around in a lobby.

looks similar to overseer, doesn't it?

it's just Overseer but you die if you check a bad guy

Overseer is unpunishable and, well, is pretty much impossible to play without being forced to claim. (I play in lobbies where Doctor, Bait and Necroview are the only people that can claim right away.)
I liked the idea of a opposite sheriff, where instead of shooting the bad guys, your goal is to shoot the good guys.

ngl as time go on, i’m growing a liking for this role because it’s a mix of overseer and sheriff in a way, it would be really cool to see this role in action <@&1094572369646985236> just wondering your thoughts on it 🤗…if you see this
