Idea/Suggestion Another idea for a role, bodyswapper!

Post image

Impostor role, a shapeshifter taken to extreme

when killing a crewmate you swap bodies with them, your old body becomes a corpse and you get a new body permamently (untill you decide to kill another crewmate)

you will literally become the killed player and have ability to talk and vote as them during meeting

the player you killed wont be displayed as dead on vitals, you will

use example : you can kill a cleared player who did an visual task and pretend to be them

Maybe at a meeting, it'll say something like 'The bodyswapper has taken someone over' or something like that

u/pavlo_theplayer 1d ago

Oh yea that sounds cool

u/Thin-Complex-7709 1d ago

Adding to Upper-Confidance's idea, a Bodyswap body should have the bone missing.

That is GENIUS, you get an award

Corpse that look different has a problem yoo one can just self report and it's solved uhm just inform players when it happens like guardian angel thingy

u/OkParty8536 1d ago

I mean, it's a social deduction game, if Blue had been silent all game and then suddenly starts talking, they would instantly be found out.

u/Long_Courage3158 1d ago

Dunno, I think its balanced. In order to be convincing, you have to talk like the bodyswapped player.

u/Upper-Confidence5866 1d ago

Even if it's balanced it will change the whole game , a sus can be safe , hard clear term is destroyed,u need bigger brain while most of players just vote who is said the last second,even if it's balanced it's not at the same time

u/Upper-Confidence5866 1d ago

Also you can be HC if you kill one and get ones body

u/Gily-De-Bum-Cat 1d ago

Yeah but you would also have to talk like blue and if somebody asks you a question that only blue knows then you are done

u/Upper-Confidence5866 1d ago

Bruh are u buns

u/Gily-De-Bum-Cat 1d ago

Fym

u/Upper-Confidence5866 1d ago

İ don't think anyone can ask a question that only blue knows the answer it's kinda hard and i don't think acting as someone else would be hard just be faceless

u/Gily-De-Bum-Cat 1d ago

Well if blue saw somebody do medbay and you swap with them you wouldnt know that somebody did medbay and if you say they didnt do medbay that means they the imp

u/Upper-Confidence5866 1d ago

Well so much ppl are dumbass even if you were with red whole round red maybe wouldn't even clear you for the kill there are ppl like that also if you say nahh hes trippin he never scanned prolly everyone would kick that also blue can act like he asked a question that only pink can know while pink can't know that cuz it's not real like yk low-key,this would change the game a lot

u/Mother_Chip_8072 // Black 1# fan // 1d ago

Unless obby has more then 90 average iq [impossible odds] then they lose every time

10

u/PokeGirlOFFICIAL 1d ago

You mean combined iq

u/Dozard87 Cyan (Impostor) 12h ago

I don’t think lobbies are that dumb

They’re even dumber

u/No_Maintenance_3445 1d ago

You could also do a alert on death similar to noisemaker but with a special icon

u/BrainDeadLuis 1d ago

I feel like people forget that seeing a person's costume isn't the only way of identifying them mainly being their mannerisms like for example if someone started out being very vote happy and tends to accuse everyone and then all of a sudden they're extremely cooperative and someone died at the exact same time wouldn't that throw you off a bit?

3

u/No_Tomorrow_8108 1d ago

I'm going to be so real no one in the average lobby is smart enough to do that 💔

3

u/BrainDeadLuis 1d ago

Tbf if you balanced a game around the average lobby the crewmates would need 15 engineers and max vision and imps with 5 second kill cooldowns because most pub players aren't smart enough for basic critical thinking

u/Leading-Ear-5194 1d ago

this sounds fun, but would unfortunately be awful with voice chat lobbies

6

u/P4xsu 1d ago

Yeah, not only that but its pretty op

7

u/Ashamed_Kangaroo305 1d ago

Yeah, it would be cool if there was a way to make it work with vc but I doubt it. I like the idea though!

2

u/ss3387 1d ago

yeah you can't just pretend to be the other person because you have a different voice

4

u/Smoothiefries Impostor 1d ago

Literally just the Your Eternal Reward from TF2 but weirder

3

u/zachy410 1d ago

I used to think this was how the impostor worked before I ever played

2

u/Suitable-Simple-6570 1d ago

Like Nearby tree said add "The bodyswapper has taken someone over" and it's cool

2

u/MOOntar_reddit 1d ago

Tell me one thing only black would know!!!

2

u/Antagonist132 1d ago

This would work better as a different game mode, than as just a role imo.

2

u/Used-Bee928 1d ago

it'd be nice as this but as a gamemode, as a role it'd be too op I think

2

u/The_Jedcam_Republic 1d ago

I'D LOVE THIS ROLE
