WA does have a point, I wouldn't want this game to be a victim of feature creep.

Fix'd.

Also, I think Exterminator might be more viable as a two-Exterminator Team - a mini-mafia, if you will, that trades numbers and access to other power roles for equipments they can choose. They would only be able to do one kill a night, though.

Actually, with the size Paranormal Mafia is growing to, a second mafia might not be such a bad idea. But it would screw with Meph's little selection program.

Well, if you remember he did suggest a 'Cult of the Great Old Olnes' a little while ago so he obvoiusly doesn't mind doing something like that.

True. I don't want to get rid of too many roles, though, since that leaves us with lots of people as just normal townspeople. Even a small power makes people more interested in the game, I've noticed.

How about we remove Ghost and Disciple of Truth and add in the Child and the Alien Operative as an Ally to the Exterminator?

I don't see why we need the child, but hey, sure.

The Child is clearly pointless. Let me prove it.

Hypothesis:
Child is useless.

Knowns:
Child is Known to all.
Child may be Dopp or Town.

Unknown:
Initial allegiance.

Scenario:
First Day, all are told who is the Child.
First Night, determine the allegiance of the Child through various power roles.
Second Day: few possibilities; 1) Child is Dopp. Dopp is lynched. 2) Child is Town. Child is killed at Night. 3) Child is Town. Child is now proven. Game-breaking.

No child. It just screws over the Child or the Dopps. I do believe I'm fairly good at these game-breaking strategies.

Any time a role is known to all, it's a problem.

For those still complaining of Alien Exterminator, what about my Psychic-Slayer suggestion? It has a reusable scan and a much smaller scope.

All right, no Child. We'll still try the Exterminator with the Operative as an assistant, though. See what that does.

Any thoughts of what else to add? I don't want to get rid of too many roles.

Why not have a disguised Child, who isn't really a child (more likely a teen). Or we could have that soldier named Child's from The Thing.

How about:
Seductress: Over the night phase the seductress can influence any other player to use their role on someone of the seductress's choice. The seductress will not learn what the targets role is. The seductress's target will know he was targeted by the seductress, and who the seductress made him go for, but not the identity of the seductress. [Town/Dopp]
