Sculptor (Samart0427)

**Abilities** | Choose to replace the target with a handcrafted marble sculpture
 **Consigliere** | Your target has talented hands for life-sized marble sculptures working for the town. They must be a Sculptor.

The Sculptor was an innocent young man, capable of replicating people with his hand-crafted marble sculptures. Every work of art he created was donated to the local museum... until the Mafia raided the town.

The Town told him to hide or run away. After all, what use could the sculptor do to the town? But the sculptor has other ideas. In Secret, he sculpted many statues of the citizens out of hardened marble. One day, the Jailor had to reveal himself for the town to not lynch the Jailor. This caused everyone, including the mafias, to know the Jailor's identity. That Night, the sculptor carried the life-sized statue of the Jailor. He burst into the Jailor, commanded the Jailor to hide ( which the Jailor quickly did ), and positioned the sculpture behind a large pot. Then the sculptor jumped out of the window and watched silently. Pretty soon, a stranger came with a knife. He spotted the sculpture immediately, and slashed it with his knife. The blade broke, and the stranger looked confused, while the sculptor grinned to himself.

## Mechanics

During the Night, you are able to force the target to hide and replace the target with a marble statue

* The Target will be notified that they were Hidden
* The Target cannot use their ability
	+ This is not the case for Any Town Support, Any Mafia Deception, Any Cult Support and Amnesiac
* Any Person who attacks the Target will have their ability disabled for the next night. The night after that, they will have their ability returned to them.
* If the Target is a visiting role, it will not affect the Target.
	+ However, any Person who attempts to attack the target in the Target's home still has their abilities disabled.
* If you target yourself, you are invincible (unless Jailed or other similar methods that involves getting forced out of your home like by Pirate)
* You can only target yourself 3 times
* You are still counted as a "Stay-At-Home" as anyone who comes to your house can attack you (unless you Self Targeted)

## Strategy

### Choosing who to Replace

* Try to replace valuable roles, like Mayor or Jailor
* If there are revealed stay-at-home roles like Preserver or Medium, try to replace them.
	+ The Transporter might have switched them, try whispering to them to tell them to not switch.
		- Although Mafias might claim Sculptor to make the target unprotected and kill them.
			* But the Transporter might notice this and report the "sculptor claim", although they can counter this by saying an Escort/Consort visited them.
* If no one is revealed, it might be best to Self-Replace
* You can replace anyone who wouldn't claim but whispered their role to a confirmed person. The target is probably a stay-at-home.

### Surviving The Day

* Do not reveal your role early. Do it only when necessary
* You can reveal your role to anyone you trust
* If you reveal your role, try to replace someone else, as people might think you would replace yourself after claiming

## Trivia

* This role is similar to the Bodyguard, but with the added disabled ability function (to both the stay-at-home and the attacker)
