Comparing Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Manipulative Investigative Resolution Choice: none Status: Untested

Comparing is a role modifier that causes your ability to target two players and only succeed if the two players share an alignment.

Standard version

A Comparing role targets two players. If the two players do not share an alignment, the Comparing role will fail as if roleblocked. If the role normally has one target, the Comparing modifier grants the role an extra target. If the role normally has two targets, no extra targets are granted.

Variations

Comparing allows any role to act like a Parity Cop.
