Sheriff
Faction
- Crewmate faction
Role Description
- Active ability: Kill
- Depending on the settings, you can kill players belonging to factions that are set as “killable.”
- If you target and kill a Crewmate (player) from a faction that is not killable, it counts as a misfire and you will die (suicide).
- [Kill the target even on misfire] setting
- Enabled: On a misfire, you die and the target also dies.
- Disabled: On a misfire, you die and the target survives.
- [Kill the target even on misfire] setting
- [Can verify information]
- Although it’s often praised as a “Crewmate role that can kill,” in practice it’s a role for “verifying information.”
- By dying yourself, you can confirm that the person you tried to kill was innocent (though depending on settings, this may not always be the case).
- The information about the person you tried to kill becomes reliable (unless you misidentified them or someone is acting irrationally), so you can build your deductions around that information.
- You can clear up confusing or muddled information.
- If you successfully kill the target, they are confirmed evil.
- You can reason while accounting for the high chance that the target’s claims included misinformation, and you can also analyze connections/associations.
- You also need to consider the possibility that the target was a [Mad-type role], a [Friends-type role], or a non-killing third-party role—meaning the number of kill-capable players may not have changed and you may have only reduced the crew count.
