Dreamweaver Rework (I don't want insanity to go so I'm reworking it constantly until it works)

[hushed timber]

Dreamweaver (Coven Utility)

Attributes:
⚔️ Attack: None (Basic with Necronomicon)
🛡️ Defense: None

• Can be roleblocked
• Can be controlled
• Unique

Abilties:

• Select a player at night to Dreamweave, if that player is not visited the following night, they will be driven Insane.
• When a target has been successfully driven Insane, the Dreamweaver will automatically gain 1 stack of Empower (maximum of 3), and the player will have their role feedback disabled.

Dreamweave (♾️)

• Select a player at night to Dreamweave, if that player is not visited the following night, they will be driven Insane.
• Visiting a player will delay Insanity by 1 night, meaning a dreamwoven player will need to be visited all game.
• Dreamwoven players will never have Dreamweave or Insanity dispelled unless they are driven Insane or the Dreamweaver dies.
• All evil roles are immune to Dreamweave, but Coven will only see that their target permanently has the Dreamweave icon.
• Any player can delay Dreamweave.

Empower (Up to 3)

• Select any member of the Coven to Empower, visiting astrally to increase their offence if they already can deal an attack. Their offence will be increased by one stage.
• If the member of the Coven did not attack, this ability expends a charge and does nothing.

Ew rng

[hushed timber]

That's the thing I was thinking about I feel like the stuff like random night abilities and stuff kinda make or break the game

Because like an insane vigi rn can theoretically go 3/3

[strange yew]

I hate the rng of dw

And of most roles

[hushed timber]

What if insanity instead of the random stuff made players unable to receive feedback from their role

Also I think empower would have some interesting reactions with killing TT roles

[tranquil mauve]

No

RNG

[hushed timber]

Yes which is why I am taking suggestions

Hence "constantly reworking it"

Because if you didn't look a bit up I was also skeptical on it

[hushed timber]

I changed it to disabling role feedback, I didn't do altering role feedback because I assume it would be hard to program into the game since there are so many different random messages

[tranquil mauve]

Remove RNG and we’ll talk

[hushed timber]

It is gone

Look up

[tranquil mauve]

Can empower stack?

Like, you give two empowers to allow an unstoppable?

[hushed timber]

No it cannot stack, however if you add it to a Coven Leader yes but no other CK can get Unstoppable

Other than a CL, no Cov can get unstoppable

[tranquil mauve]

Then it’s exclusively a neutral fucker

When the mode we balance around has zero neutrals

[hushed timber]

Actually what if I replaced empower with Enrage which could allow a Cov to use their action twice

Hmmm but I'm not sure how it would work with coding unless it was a day ability

[vague walrus]

Honestly, I had quite the insane idea, but...not sure how it'd pan out.

[hushed timber]

What's your idea

[vague walrus]

Basically, Insanity (if it procs) will instead make the person allied to Coven instead of Town until either the Dreamweaver is dead, or they die. Makes people actually treat Dreamweaved people a LOT more seriously, and makes the Dreamweaver a WHOLE lot scarier. In return, it'll only probably have either a certain amount of charges, or will have a maximum number of people that are Insane.

[hushed timber]

I was thinking of that at one point but majority would shift easily if the proc was buffed and if you are talking about 1 visit writes it off, it'd still be too hard to get it off regardless (I think I've only ever seen like 10 insanity procs playing TOS2 Vanilla)

[vague walrus]

Fair enough, but messing with the alignments of it, ESPECIALLY if you have a Voodoo Master on your side, would make it absolutely bloody bonkers.

[hushed timber]

Yeah it would

But unfortunately stuff like getting a pop off dreamweave and voodoo N1 taking the Tpow you nearly just win

Just right off the bat
