Aurial [take 2]#3254

The aurial is a member of the good team

the aurial has no active abilities, but has 2 passive abilities
the aurial takes the place of a survivor, instead of being mutually exclusive to other roles

Passive I (colorblindness) :
All players will be shown as Grey figures to the aurial, and their names will be replaced by three dots (…).
Also, the sender and receiver of notes will be replaced by three dots

Passive II (aura reveal) :
When the journal of a player that died contains the usernames of players in the round, a certain number of those players named in the journal will be revealed to the aurial, including name and team. The way they get revealed to the aurial is, if they are in the good team, the figure that replaces their skin becomes green and their name appears on top of them and if they are in the evil team or they are neutral, the figure that replaces their skin becomes red.
If 1-6 players were named in the journal, 2 of them get revealed.
If 7-10 players were named in the journal, 3 get revealed.
If 11-15 players were named in the journal, 4 get revealed
If the aurial’s name was also in the journal, then the aurial’s identity gets revealed to everyone, and one less player will be revealed to the aurial.

If this seems too unbalanced, you can suggest changes in the comments

I guess the fix technically works, but it still feels unnecessary to give aurial a handicap like this when it can technically be ‘cheated’ out of, and I honestly don’t see the point of it. You could just remove the first ability entirely and alter the second one slightly so that you simply learn the team of players whose names that are in the journal. The handicap of aurial being revealed if their name is inside is already a good restriction, so you could modify that to something like ‘if aurial’s name is inside the journal they get no info’ to prevent everyone from spamming names.

Great concept though, don’t let my criticisms stop you from coming up with new stuff.
