The Forensic Investigator is an investigative role that can target a dead player to learn the names of everyone who targeted that dead player since the beginning of the game. For instance, if Player A Tracks Player B on Night 1, Player C Jails Player B on Night 2, Scum D kills Player B on Night 3, and Forensic Investigator E examines Player B on Night 4; Player E will receive a result saying that players A, C, D, and E targeted Player B at some point. Despite how this example turned out, the order in which the names are listed should be arbitrary (that is, not exactly in the order in which they targeted the player).
Votes do not count as targeting actions for purposes of this role.
This role is usually pro-Town, but has potential as an anti-Town role.
Standard version
The Forensic Investigator may target a dead player at Night, thus discovering the list of every player that visited the target while they were alive since the beginning of the game, sorted in a random order.
Variations
If votes did cause a player to show up on a Forensic Investigator's result, it would be amusing. However, this can be gamed via pseudovotes if made public.
Sample Role PMs
The standardized Role PM for "Forensic Investigator" describes the action as follows:
- As a targeted action:
you will discover the list of all players that targeted your target since the beginning of the game, in a random order. This ability can only target a dead player.(edit)
Example (simplest form)
Welcome to game! You are a Town Forensic Investigator.
You have the following active ability:
- Each Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will discover the list of all players that targeted your target since the beginning of the game, in a random order. This ability can only target a dead player.
You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.
Example (with modifiers)
Welcome to game! You are a Town 1-shot Loud Forensic Investigator.
You have the following active ability:
- Once in the game at Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will discover the list of all players that targeted your target since the beginning of the game, in a random order. This ability can only target a dead player. Your target will learn that you targeted them (but not what action you targeted them with).
You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.
