Reporter

Reporter Alias: Motion Detector Alignment: Pro-town Role type: Informative Choice: Night

The Reporter can check a player's house to find out if they are home (anyone doing something during the night is not home).

See also Watcher or Weak Tracker.

Cowardly variant

The Cowardly Reporter can choose to use the Reporter's usual ability, or hide in the newsroom to avoid being killed (but can not hide on consecutive Nights).

Alternate role

Alternately, a reporter works exactly like a cop except that they can publish their results at any time, giving all players an anonymous tip towards the role of any specific player. This variant is self-aligned and wins when all other power-roles are dead, including such things as town bodyguards and mafia alike.
