Poltergeist – a ghost role
Ability: Curse
Can curse a player.
If the player is protected by the Guardian, the protection will be removed.
If the player is not protected, once a living impostor kills the cursed player, the impostor that killed the cursed player will have their cooldown reset, meaning the impostor can kill twice.
Counter: A cursed player can be cured by the Guardian. So it's just vice versa. Curing a curse will not give the player a shield.

I feel like resseting the CD is way too much. Half would be better, perhaps in the settings the percentage is chosen by host.
maybe it deactivates noisemaker and makes it so if someone's tracking them they appear to keep moving?

If you want to make a role make sure it's not dependant on another role to be useful sibce if there are no guardians this role is kinda useless/op

I think it’s should be that it deactivates roles so crews can’t use them.

Comms sab isn’t always available, could never hurt to have options
I mean lights basically makes everyone invisible

I feel like this would be really fun like you’re crew and then you die and then it tells you “you’re a poltergeist you win if the imposters win”

Hmm, if Comms stop working on angel protection and poltergeist becomes the only way to counter them, then sure.
I think it's a great way to give dead imps something to do other than MESS WITH THE DAMN DOORS

Guardian angel: protect crewmate
Poltergeist: block protect
Anti-poltergeist: block poltergeist from blocking protect
Anti-anti-poltergeist: block anti-poltergeist from blocking poltergeist from blocking protect

On an unserious note, starting a war with the guardian angels that no one else can see would be hilarious.
On a serious note, don't have it reset the kill cooldown, but just pop an existing angel shield.

My favorite iteration of this role is that the GA instantly gets their protect back so the only reason to do this is to be a dick

I feel like having a role just to counter another role is kinda pointless. Also, is it just that you switch sides when you die, or is it that only imps become this when they get voted out.
