I think the orb needs tweaks as I would never use it as it is right now.

yeah, without making any comment on balance, I wouldn't even think about using it.

It feels like it should be something which creates more of a decision/dilemma for use. Atm it's just not close to worth it, no dilemma or decision I have to make.

edit: it's especially impossible/useless for mafia to use, which means anyone who does actually use it is very very likely to be town

Some more concrete ideas:

20 % chance of

- killing a player
- masoning a player
- framing and roleblocking yourself (return mafia as town and town as mafia no matter what other actions were taken)
- getting an extra hidden vote during the next day
- a random town player gets a one-shot check with 50 % of being normal and 50 % of being insane (reversed results). Strikethrough cause it allows mafia to fakeclaim checks when they get the orb.

backdraws for mafia and backdraws for town. Just a quick suggestion that makes the orb more attractive for both alignments.

so as town you have the chance of 2 benefits, as mafia of 2 benefits

Interestingly enough we had a second possible approach to the orb when we were hashing it out (that addresses the scum concern) but will get back to you on this.

what are you even talking about. You get to make a lastsecond post writing nothing but yolo. If that's not reason enough to use the orb I don't know what else would be.

not even kidding, I'd probably use it for that reason. Maybe not on d3+ but if I get it on d1/n1? Sure thing.

But yeah, not really as mafia

Yea but given the probabilities then it's just town-favoured.

I think that it needs some more benefits for mafia as they are more unlikely to get it.

meh, if we have it replace a blue role in our balance (or probably replace 1.5 blue roles since scum can't just shoot this dead) it acts a lot like a JOAT. Simple and doesn't require that much tweaking

But it's a JOAT that can confirm people town who get it and have a lucky roll, any town is going to use this on their scumreads, and mafia won't share the results unless they roll track and happen to hit somebody who visits one of their NKs.

Not really happy with a wandering town confirmation machine (if you rolecheck on a mafia it's just like a cop check? All roles are named so)

Rolecheck returns "vanilla" for goons and "JK" for RBs, and "cop" for mafia rolecops. It doesn't give alignment. At least, that's what I assume, otherwise it would be very powerful.

But yeah, not sure why scum wouldn't activate the abilities and share the results

I'm not so sure about that. I like BHs idea as well actually.

If it's just like what it says in the OP without the death that means track, cop, KP and RB are left over. Leaving out the death is already buffing it for mafia because it gets usuable in the first place.

Sure, track and cop are townfavored but KP is really good for mafia as well. RB should be better for mafia as well and track isn't useless for mafia at all.
And you can only get every action once so it's really not like it's a wandering town confirmation machine imo.

Oh yeah, it's just rolecop and not a regular cop. Sounds good without the death to me.
