Lapidarist
Neutral Killing
🗡️ Attack: Basic
🛡️ Defense: Basic

Abilities:
Crystal Impale ( ♾️ ) - Impale your target with a crystal, attacking them.
Apply Gemstone ( ♾️ ) - You may choose to enhance your next attack(and only the next attack) in one of the following ways:

Amplifying Amethyst - Your next attack will be a Powerful Attack.
Displacement Diamond - Your next attack will be astral.
Reckless Ruby - Your next attack will be a rampaging attack. You lose your basic defense on the same night you attack. For every visitor you kill(not just attack, they have to die), you lose your basic defense for one additional night.
Simulacrum Sapphire - Your next attack will create a simulacrum of yourself. Gain the effects of being illusioned the next time you attack.

Goal: You win with all other Lapidarists.

Sheriff: "You cannot find evidence of wrongdoing. Your target is innocent or great at hiding secrets!"
Precise: "Your target utilizes powerful gemstones. They must be a Lapidarist."
(original name was Mercenary and had a different theming)

mfw: people don't give 2 shits about themeing

#

eh i think this is not an awful idea

#

it's unqiue i will give you that

visual epoch
#

(I mean if you want to reflavor this to magic abilities I have no objections)

grizzled linden
#

it can still be a gun but also uhh

#

machine gun is... kinda op?

#

idk

visual epoch
#

I did add removing its own defense as a way to counterbalance

grizzled linden
#

oh

#

ok that is somewhat basiced then tbf

visual epoch
#

This is meant to be worse at killing but better at versatility for an NK

grizzled linden
#

also for theming

#

it can still be a gun but like

visual epoch
#

Yeah it can be a magical gun

grizzled linden
#

make it so the upgrades are like... enchantment gems or something

visual epoch
#

Sure

#

I'll think of names, thanks for the idea

#

👍

grizzled linden
#

honestly i don't think it's a bad idea

#

because to do anything

#

your losing out on an attack

#

to upgrade

#

@visual epoch btw you cant stack upgrades right?

visual epoch
#

I made it so that it can, if it would be too overpowered I can remove that

#

Astral rampage does sound really good but it's three nights

grizzled linden
#

hmmm

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

don't do anything

visual epoch
#

alright, let me think of the upgrades to reflavor names

grizzled linden
#

cool

spring cave
#

What if we kill this one with rocks

#

Slash jay

#

Also why only in btos2 mattie

visual epoch
#

Powerful Attack -> Amplifying Amethyst
Astral Attack -> Displacement Diamond
Rampage -> Reckless Ruby
Illusion Self -> Simulacrum Sapphire

#

In that case this needs a name change to someone that uses gems

#

if I use that

visual epoch
#

most people would probably shorten it to lapi or something

#

which is fine

visual epoch
grizzled linden
#

you can keep the name of mercenary btw

#

since...

#

mercenaries did exist

visual epoch
#

it's not as fitting if it uses gems then

#

maybe I'll also change its attack to not use a gun

#

and instead use magic or something

grizzled linden
spring cave
visual epoch
#

suggest a gemstone then

grizzled linden
#

is pearl not a gemstone

spring cave
#

Amethyst

#

!!!!

visual epoch
#

doesn't start with the same letter

spring cave
#

But none of them starts with A

visual epoch
#

a pearl is a hard rock made in a clam

spring cave
#

Uhhh

hollow tree
#

"Amplifying Amethyst"

spring cave
#

Ohh

#

That's what u meant

visual epoch
#

I'll go with that

#

Oh and also now they're all in alphabetical order

#

nice

#

ok time to change the whole thing because I don't like Mercenary anymore

spring cave
#

Why not

visual epoch
#

hmmm what should its attack be called?

visual epoch
spring cave
#

K theres sk

visual epoch
#

also I like the name Lapidarist better

spring cave
#

And arsonist

visual epoch
#

who cares, magic is cooler

spring cave
#

🙄

hollow tree
#

Lapidarist arguably makes less sense. They're a NK, why would a guy who fashions and cuts gems be killing everyone

spring cave
#

Look at jester

visual epoch
#

I mean magic users and their alignments have never really aligned anyway

#

if you have no knowledge in ToS2 you can't really tell why a Trickster is Good but a Potion Master is Evil

#

for example

#

PM can easily be the name of a Town role

#

also BToS2 in particular has NPs that violate this rule even more, Judge sounds a lot more like Town than NP doesn't it?

#

people would have no idea why Judge is considered Evil but Prosecutor is not

#

considering their theming is both court themed

spring cave
#

Now that I think of it

#

Starspawn being pariah sounds sad

visual epoch
#

I think it's fine to call NK an otherwise mundane sounding name

#

Lapidarist - Neutral Killing

visual epoch
#

hmmm what should it be called

#

crystal impale?

spring cave
#

Pierce is better than impale

visual epoch
#

(I can't imagine other ways you would use gemstones to murder)

visual epoch
#

You have to consider that death messages will be like

#

"They were impaled/pierced by a Lapidarist."

#

I think the former is more fitting

spring cave
#

Huh I need a list of all death messages ra

#

Rq

visual epoch
#

can't find it on the wiki

visual epoch
#

you know how you have to pick the crystal on the previous day right?\

#

What if the ability is changed so that you can select to prepare an upgrade tomorrow, then on the next night you can pick what buff you want and attack on that night?

#

So it's easier to adjust if you no longer want to use your original upgrade for example

spring cave
#

Ig

#

But what about stacking buffa

#

Buffa

#

Buf

#

Omg

visual epoch
#

what about it?

spring cave
#

Ugh how do I describe it

#

Yeah I literally dk how u would stack buffs

#

Unless ur not forced to attack

visual epoch
#

simple

#

if you choose to upgrade twice, on the third night, it will just tell you that "You may use two gems today."

river helm

Looks ok
