A Motivator is a role that can target a player at Night to allow them to use an extra action during the following Night. Note that factional abilities such as the Mafia's Night-kill cannot be used twice in one Night.

Generally speaking, Motivators are Town-aligned, but not seen outside role madness games.

Variations

Some moderators will have Motivator allow a player to use an extra action during the Night they are targeted. This is not so easy to resolve in a streamlined manner, though - the moderator has to wait for the Night action submission deadline, and then allow the Motivated player to send in another action.

Use and Power

Motivator is a swingy way to increase its faction's overall power, as there is no guarantee that it will target Town. As long as it cannot cause a role or combination to become unreasonably powerful, it's usually considered fine overall.
