Executioner

The Executioner is a role designed to stop mass roleclaiming. Working similar to a vigilante, the executioner is able to kill a person who has acquired half-the required lynch votes on a given day. Typically speaking, this ends the day and begins the night phase. The Executioner may be either town or mafia, but is traditionally a mafia role. Depending on the game, this kill may or may not count as a lynch, so it may or may not be subject to a governor's pardon. Also the executioner is usually prohibited from using this ability during conseuctive days, or can only use it a certain number of times in the game. It doesn't work against bulletproof individuals, and a bomb hit by an execution blows up the executioner.
