The Definitive Mafia Thread/Role Wiki

Bastard Roles

Jester (3rd Party) - They win if they are lynched. They lose if Town or Mafia wins or if they are killed in any way besides lynching. The game continues after they win. Considered Bastard due to its job as an intentional mislead and mislynch. Also removes the point of the game which is to AVOID getting killed.

Judas (Innocent, Becomes Mafia upon dying) - Starts as Town but if they are killed or lynched, they become Mafia. They are NOT aware of their role. Considered Bastard due to being a Role-Switcher.

Mime (3rd Party) - A group version of Jester except all members must be lynched. Considered Bastard for obvious reasons.

Executioner (Town or Mafia) - Can force a lynch on someone if they have half the required votes. Ability is usually 1-Shot or 2-Shot. Considered Bastard due to being Overpowered.

Sensor (Town) - Each night, they may learn how many Anti-Town (Mafia and 3rd Party) voted to lynch the target. Ability is always restricted. Considered Bastard due to being Overpowered.

Saulus (Mafia, Becomes Town upon dying) - Starts as Mafia but if they are killed or lynched, they become Town. They are NOT aware of their role. Considered Bastard due to it being impossible to balance.

Cult (3rd Party) - Once a night, they can recruit someone into the cult. Their abilities may or may not be kept. If the cult leader dies, then all of the cultists die as well. If the cult leader targets Mafia, then the Cult Leader dies along with any followers. Considered Bastard due to being a Role-Switcher and being hard to balance.

Mentor (3rd Party) - May choose one person to be a Mentee. If the Mentor has a Mentee, then the Mentor or Mentee may choose to kill someone. If the Mentee dies, the Mentor may choose another person. The Mentor learns the role of the Mentee. If the Mentor dies, the Mentee also dies. Considered Bastard due to being a Role-Switcher as well as being hard to balance.

Death Miller (Town) - Upon dying, it is revealed that the Miller was Mafia. Considered Bastard due to the moderator flat-out lying to the players.

Usurper (Mafia) - Wins if they outlive the Godfather. Considered Bastard due to severely hurting the Mafia.

Any False Role (Other) - Considered Bastard due to the moderator lying in the worst aspect to the player.

Suicidal (Role Modifier) - Dies after a certain period of time. Considered Bastard due to generally being unfun to play with.

Voteless (Role Modifier) - Vote is worthless. Considered Bastard due to being just plain stupid.

Any Negative Hidden Role Modifier (Role Modifier) - Considered Bastard due to the moderator being an asshole.
