Weak

Weak is a role modifier that causes the player to die if targeting a mafia-aligned or otherwise anti-Town player. While this seems like an obvious drawback, this inherently makes all Weak roles investigative abilities with power akin to Cops - if a Weak role survives targeting a player, that player is confirmed Town.

It is common wisdom that if a Weak role dies in the Night in addition to the normal number of killed players, the Weak role targeted scum. However, it is not easy to determine who the Weak role targeted that Night, especially as scum favor killing claimed Weak roles specifically to obscure their last "result".

Some roles commonly given the Weak modifier include:

• Cop (in this case, the Cop aspect is redundant)
• Doctor (see Weak Doctor)
• Tracker
• Vigilante (note that if the Vigilante shoots scum, both the scum and the Vigilante die)

Variants

Some mods have the Weak modifier apply if the target appears as anti-Town, instead of if the target is anti-Town, so targeting a Miller would result in death while targeting a Godfather would not.

Normal Guidelines

This role modifier is considered Normal on mafiascum.net. It should only be used on active abilities. A Weak role dies upon targeting anyone without a pro-Town wincon (this includes Mafia Godfather and Serial Killer, but not Town Miller). If a Weak role dies, its actions still occur (e.g., a Weak Neighborizer would still add scum to its neighborhood if it dies). Unless it would otherwise receive a "no result", a Weak role should not be told if it was blocked or targeted an Ascetic role.
