Jackal - Neutral Special

  • As the Jackal your goal is get rid of everyone inside of the Town.
  • You will get 2 Recruits at the start of the game.
  • Your Recruits will always be opposing factions.
  • The other Recruit will suicide if one of them dies.

Attack: Powerful
Defense: Basic
Other: Unique - No Immunities - Suspicous to a Sheriff

Assasinate - Harmful Visit

  • You may attempt to Assasinate your target, dealing a Poweful direct Attack.
  • You cannot Assasinate while your Recruits are alive.

Eavesdropping - Passive

  • You will automatically hear what your Recruits whisper/are whispered to.
  • You will eavesdrop 1 random target each night, receiving their feedback and faction messages.
  • You may only see Jailor/Jailee, Coven/Pandora/Apocalypse Member and Pirate instead of the actual Player numbers
  • Typed numbers are replaced with ?.

Example: (eavesdropping coven)

Coven Member: Yo kill ? they are getting suspicous of me.
Coven Member: Ight

Example 2: (eavesdropping Jailor/Jailee)

Jailor: role?
Jailee: Cleric

i tried to decently balance it so jackal doesnt gain too much information from it lol

fleet bear
#

random target

#

grrrrrrrrrrrr

#

B)

dense mantle
#

well choosing the target would be too broken IMO

#

would confirm factions to the jackal

fleet bear
#

so there's just random chance you get to
see who coven is???

dense mantle
#

not who

#

just their faction chat

i mean CS is also random sometimes and no one rly cares

#

weird to compare it but yeah

haughty terrace
#

and the randomness is actually balancing for cs

dense mantle
#

true

#

both are NS

#

inquis is kinda also random

#

it can get 3 easy roles or get hard roles

#

you never know

fleet bear
#

but like
this is uh
"Screw this faction in particular by sheer random chance"

#

feels like

#

pov psy:

#

inquis:

#

afaik inquis can have 3 evil targets or is it hardcoded to atleast 1 town?

haughty terrace
#

its 2 opposing winconditions

#

so it could be 2 coven and a neutral killing

fleet bear
#

yeah
so it's kinda weighted "f you" to a faction

Old spy moment. Having a role that can eavesdrop on factional chats just makes the faction chat useless. Factions have factional chats for a reason, you can't coordinate with your mates if you know that there's a jackal in play that could potentially out several of your teammates. (which you should always know if you're not playing TAA)

#

jackal doesnt learn WHO

#

just can read their chat

#

but sensitive stuff is hiddeb

#

# dense mantle idk if you even read the suggestion

Have you ever played VH in tos1? You don't know who is speaking either, yet does the same thing. Old spy was shit to play against for doing the same exact thing. If a person is trying to make a claim that requires multiple people to function jackal just screws them over, making people not use the night chat even less than they already do. This leads to a lot more "solo" claims that are less interesting than team claims.
