Regretful

Regretful Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Negative Utility Killing Choice: none

Regretful is a role modifier that causes a role to die if the targeted player dies. It is inspired by the Hider.

Standard version

If a Regretful role's target dies as a result of an active killing action (e.g. a factional kill or Vigilante shot), the Regretful role will also die.

Variations

A Hider targets someone to hide behind and therefore avoid being able to be killed by active killing actions, as well as becoming vulnerable to dying if the target dies.

Regretful can alternately cause a role to die if a targeted player is targeted by a kill. This makes a Regretful Doctor a Bodyguard though the Regretful Doctor will die if the target was hit by a Strongman kill.

Use & Balance

A Regretful role should avoid targeting someone who is likely to be the scum's factional kill, unless they suspect the setup also contains a Vigilante.

Sample Role PMs
