Old pickpocket, getting kills you give you more votes. New suggestion, as the pickpocket you can steal ability perks for yourself by single clicking kill (double clicking still kills like normal). Example of how this works. Use ability on a medic and you get a one time shield that acts like medic shield. If you steal from crusader you will have an effect like jinx where you rebound 1 kill. Use an ability on agitator and you will pass a bomb to the next person you run into.
This will continue for every role that has an ability that can be added to pickpocket. So stealing a revealing role means your next hit reveals there role, stealing a protection role either gives a shield or kills the next person to interact with you, stealing from someone that does things when they kill (hangman/cleaner etc) then your next kill does that action, so if you steal from a poisoner your next kill poisons.

Chance to successfully steal a ability (0-100%) default 75%
Successfully stealing from a role takes a ability from the person like they used it (if they don’t have a ability limit this has no effect) (on/off) default off
If you fail to steal from a killing role they kill you (on/off) default off
-if on then, chance for the role to kill you (0-100%)
Pickpocket loses all stolen abilitys when meeting is called (on/off)
Experimental! Abilitys will stack with each other if compatible. (Example if you steal an ability from a medusa and vampire they will die after the bite time is up like vampire and the body will not be reportable.
Tbh I was procrastinating doing work when I came up with the experimental so it is designed to be stupid but I thought I was kinda funny so I added it anyway

thx lmao i keep forgeting about the wall text thing
kinda sounds like https://discord.com/channels/1094344790910455908/1249841920159645799 but yeah i think this is still pretty good
oooooo i love the idea of mime
This is an Imp role that copycats other players' abilities
isnt this a nk?
Pickpocket is Imp
As the Pickpocket, you steal votes from your kills.
Kill everyone to win.
Thats stealer that your thinking of i think
Every time a Stealer kills a person, he gets an additional vote (the Host sets the vote number, and the decimal is rounded down).
Also, extra votes from the Stealer are hidden during the meeting depending on the options.
the imp addon that does the exact same thing
No, I think Im thinking of PL
but yea the fact that pickpocket is identical to a imp addon was the main reason i wanted to rework this role
oh is it a imp in lotus
its an imp in lotus, nk here
Yes we just discussed that?
i see this is bandit + copycat lol (or just bandit idk)
I think this is a really good idea, and I think this could be incorporated into a new neutral killing role, where your first kill functions as normal, and your next kills will allow you to use the role of the person you killed earlier. You will know the role of the person you killed, and if they have a kill button, you can use their role ability next time by single clicking.
Since desync shapeshifters are now possible, I also think it could be a good idea for it to use role abilities using shapeshift
Yea i thought about having it be shapshifter but i decided it would be way weird cause you would get things like back to back warlock
although that would be funny to chain blackmails
Could just vent to switch to stolen abilities, the problem is switching back since some might use vent
If only TOHE had Pet action
yea cause if you steal something like swooper you wont be able to use vent to switch
The only other thing I can think of is that it uses the opposite ability. If a stolen ability requires shapeshifting it uses venting, if the ability requires venting it uses shapeshifting. That'd require manually entering every venting based ability and ss based ability into code though.
Or ability usage and killing could be swapped through the shapeshift button and abilities using the shapeshift button are unstealable
Not many roles use the shapeshift button for abilities anyway
I’m going to post it as a full role idea
wouldnt it work to change it to ss basis so it could get sser basis roles like blackmailer etc
I love the idea tho sil
Or is it frisks
It literally works now
Wdym
You can use ss basis for neutrals
I know thats why i reccomended it🧍♂️
I didn't understand the message sorry
