Investigator

The **Investigator** is a private eye who secretly gathers information. Each night, the Investigator may check a player for a clue for their role, narrowing the results down to 2-4 roles.

## Mechanics

### Investigating

Investigating is done by selecting another player. At the end of the night, you will get 2-4 possible results for this person's role.

#### Results

The results as of the latest update (1.2.2) are:

Your target could be a Cop, Dethy Cop, Executioner, or Werewolf.

Your target could be a Vigilante, Veteran, Goon, or Ambusher.

Your target could be an **Investigator**, Consigliere, Mayor, or Tracker.

Your target could be an Escort, Transporter, or Consort.

Your target could be a Lookout, Witch, or Juggernaut.

Your target could be a Framer, Cult Leader, Super Saint, or Jester. (will also show up if target is Framed)

Your target could be a Bodyguard, Godfather, Arsonist, or Crusader.

Your target could be a Janitor, Retributionist, or Reanimator.

Your target could be a Survivor, Amnesiac, or Guardian Angel.

Your target could be a Doctor or Serial Killer.

Your target could be a Vanilla, Vanilla Mafia, Neapolitan, or Cult Member.

#### Result Tampering

Results found after an investigation will not always be accurate. Other roles' abilities may interfere with your results, whether intentionally or by accident. Possible impedings include:

* A Framer choosing to Frame a player that you investigate, making you get the results, "Your target could be a Framer, Cult Leader, Super Saint, or Jester".
* A Transporter choosing to Transport your target with another player, making you see someone else's results.
* Your target being converted into a Cult Member after you've already investigated them.

## Attributes

If an Escort or Consort visits the Investigator, they will be role blocked.

If the Investigator is checked by a Cop, they will get the result "Your target is innocent."

If the Investigator is checked by another Investigator, they will receive the result "Your target could be an Investigator, Consigliere, Mayor, or Tracker."

If a Witch controls the Investigator, they will visit the Witch's target.

## Strategy

Be careful when revealing yourself as investigator. If you do it early on you could be thought to be an executioner, and you will also become a target for killing roles.

Depending on the setup, you can eliminate some roles from your results. For instance, if your playing a game with only mafia and town, a lookout, witch or juggernaut result would only be a lookout.
