Role Abilities:

Each power role in a Game of Mafia has additional abilities when compared to a Vanilla Townie. These abilities may be beneficial, disadvantaging or wholly neutral. The MafiaWiki has sorted these roles into groups which share similarities with one another:

Alignment-changing roles and modifiers, which change a player's faction or win condition
Communicative roles and modifiers, which allow players to communicate privately
Deceptive roles and modifiers, which cause investigations to produce false or misleading results
Investigative roles and modifiers, whose only or primary function is to gain information
Killing roles and modifiers, which remove players from the game
Linked roles and modifiers, which refer to another role or player
Manipulative roles and modifiers, which alter the targeting or usage of actions
Negative utility roles and modifiers, which are normally detrimental to their owner
Protective roles and modifiers, which give immunities to, e.g., kills
Unpowered roles and modifiers, which have no effect or no known/controllable effect
Voting roles and modifiers, which alter the meaning/legality of votes and/or the way the elimination is decided
