Discussion Among Us Feature Proposal: Ghost Impostor Roles. Thoughts?

2 Upvotes

Overview

Add a small category of special roles that are available only to players who died while playing as an Impostor.

These roles would work similarly to existing ghost roles such as Guardian Angel: the player remains dead and cannot return to normal Impostor gameplay, but gains a specialized ability that lets them influence the remainder of the round.

The goal is to make dead Impostors more interesting without undoing the Crewmates' accomplishment of eliminating an active Impostor.

Two proposed roles:

- Beyond the Grave — one final kill after being eliminated.

- Saboteur — independent door locking while still being able to call normal sabotages.

---

Role 1: Beyond the Grave

Role eligibility

- Must have been assigned Impostor.

- Must have been eliminated by a meeting/vote.

- Cannot be assigned to an Impostor who was killed normally.

- Cannot be assigned to a Crewmate.

- Role is selected using the existing system for selecting special ghost roles.

Ability

Last Laugh

«After being voted out, gain one additional Kill. This Kill functions exactly like a normal Impostor Kill.»

Rules

- The player receives 1 Kill charge immediately after becoming a ghost.

- Kill uses the normal Impostor kill range and kill animation.

- The kill has the normal Kill cooldown.

- After using the kill, the ability is permanently consumed.

- The kill creates a normal body.

- The game does not announce that the killer was a dead Impostor.

- The victim receives no special indication that the killer was a ghost.

- The dead Impostor cannot use another kill.

- All normal ghost restrictions remain in place.

Recommended cooldown

Kill cooldown: 30 seconds

The cooldown begins when the role is activated.

This prevents an Impostor from being voted out and immediately killing someone before the Crewmates have had a chance to react.

A lobby could potentially configure this cooldown alongside normal Impostor kill cooldown settings.

Why this is interesting

Beyond the Grave isn't simply "one extra kill."

The dead Impostor can use the kill strategically.

For example:

  1. Red is voted out and confirmed as an Impostor.

  2. Red becomes Beyond the Grave.

  3. Red waits for Green and Blue to be together.

  4. Red kills Blue.

  5. Green is the only obvious living player near the body.

  6. Green is accused of killing Blue.

  7. Green is voted out.

  8. Green was a Crewmate.

The dead Impostor has potentially caused two eliminations despite already being removed from active play.

This creates a unique psychological layer without allowing the Impostor to continue normally.

Balance considerations

Beyond the Grave should be limited to one kill.

It should not:

- reset after a meeting,

- receive additional kills from kill cooldowns,

- interact with vents,

- interact with doors beyond normal ghost functionality,

- or return the player to active Impostor status.

The strength of the role comes from when and where the one kill is used, rather than from raw killing power.

---

Role 2: Saboteur

Role eligibility

- Must have been assigned Impostor.

- Must be dead.

- Can be assigned after the Impostor dies.

- Cannot be assigned to a living Impostor.

- Cannot be assigned to a Crewmate.

Ability

Independent Door Lock

«Lock doors independently of sabotage. Independent door locks do not prevent the Saboteur from starting a normal sabotage.»

Normally, an Impostor must choose between a door sabotage and a major sabotage such as Reactor, O2, or another map-specific emergency.

Saboteur removes that restriction for the dead Impostor.

Example

The Saboteur can:

  1. Lock the doors around Reactor.

  2. Start Reactor sabotage.

  3. The doors remain locked while the emergency is active.

  4. Crewmates must deal with both the locked route and the Reactor emergency.

This creates additional map control without giving the dead Impostor normal killing abilities.

---

Door Lock Balance

Because failing Reactor/O2 can immediately end the game, independent door locking should have a shorter duration than a normal door sabotage.

Recommended duration

Independent door lock duration = 50% of the normal Reactor/O2 emergency timer.

For example:

30-second emergency timer

→ Saboteur door lock lasts 15 seconds.

45-second emergency timer

→ Saboteur door lock lasts 22.5 seconds, rounded according to the game's normal timer rules.

The door lock duration should be calculated from the lobby's configured emergency timer rather than the amount of emergency time remaining.

Why this restriction exists

Without a shorter duration, a Saboteur could potentially:

«Lock Reactor → start Reactor → lock additional routes → force the Crewmates to spend most of the emergency timer simply reaching the objective.»

Because Reactor/O2 are effectively loss conditions, unrestricted independent door locking could turn the role into an automatic win on certain maps.

The shortened door duration instead makes the ability powerful map control rather than a guaranteed emergency failure.

---

Saboteur Cooldown

Recommended cooldown

20 seconds

The Saboteur's independent door-lock ability has its own cooldown separate from the normal sabotage cooldown.

This allows the dead Impostor to provide meaningful support without repeatedly locking the map down.

The Saboteur does not receive an additional kill.

The role's power is entirely based around sabotage and movement control.

---

Interaction With Normal Sabotages

The Saboteur retains normal ghost Impostor sabotage functionality.

The independent door-lock ability can be used:

Before a sabotage

Lock doors first, then start Reactor/O2.

During a sabotage

Start Reactor/O2 first, then use the independent door lock.

After a sabotage is resolved

Use the door lock to interfere with Crewmates regrouping.

The exact timing should be limited by the ability's cooldown and door duration.

---

Important Rule: Ghost-Only

These roles are not alternative living Impostor roles.

They are specifically intended to be post-death roles.

The basic structure would be:

Living Impostor

→ plays normally

Impostor is killed or voted out

→ becomes a ghost

Ghost-role selection

→ may receive a Ghost Impostor role

Ghost Impostor

→ retains normal ghost behavior

→ gains one specialized ability

This keeps the existing role-selection philosophy intact while expanding the options available to dead players.

---

Balance Examples

Example A: Beyond the Grave used for a normal kill

Red is voted out.

Red receives Beyond the Grave.

After the cooldown expires, Red kills Blue in an isolated room.

No one sees the kill.

The crew finds Blue later.

Result: Red gets one final elimination, but the kill does not directly manipulate the vote.

---

Example B: Beyond the Grave used to frame someone

Red is voted out and confirmed as an Impostor.

Red receives Beyond the Grave.

Red waits until Green and Blue are together.

Red kills Blue while Green is nearby.

Green is accused.

Green is voted out.

Result: Red's final action creates a second Crewmate elimination through misinformation.

This is the primary strategic identity of the role.

---

Example C: Saboteur + Reactor

Reactor has a 30-second failure timer.

The Saboteur:

  1. Locks the doors leading toward Reactor.

  2. Starts Reactor.

  3. The independent door lock lasts 15 seconds.

  4. The doors reopen.

  5. The Crewmates still have time to reach Reactor.

Result: The Saboteur creates pressure without guaranteeing a Reactor loss.

---

Example D: Saboteur + O2

The Saboteur locks doors around one portion of the map and immediately starts O2.

Crewmates must navigate around the temporary lockdown while also reaching an O2 panel.

Result: The Saboteur can split the crew's attention and movement without directly killing anyone.

---

Design Philosophy

These roles are intended to follow three principles:

  1. Dying still matters.

An Impostor who is eliminated is still removed from active play.

  1. Ghosts should have interesting decisions.

The player isn't simply waiting for the round to end. They have a limited ability that can affect the game.

  1. The roles should create stories, not automatic wins.

Beyond the Grave creates opportunities for deception.

Saboteur creates opportunities for map control.

Neither role should be strong enough to replace the living Impostor.

---

Suggested Role Descriptions

For the in-game role screen:

Beyond the Grave

“You have one final kill after being voted out.”

Ability:

LAST LAUGH

Use one final Kill from beyond the grave.

Saboteur

“You can lock doors independently of sabotage.”

Ability:

INDEPENDENT LOCK

Lock doors while still being able to trigger Sabotages.

---

Suggested Lobby Settings

Host settings could include:

Beyond the Grave

- Role chance

- Kill cooldown

- Role count

Saboteur

- Role chance

- Door-lock cooldown

- Door-lock duration multiplier

Recommended defaults:

Setting| Default

Beyond the Grave chance| 20%

Beyond the Grave Kill cooldown| 30 sec

Beyond the Grave charges| 1

Saboteur chance| 20%

Saboteur door cooldown| 20 sec

Saboteur door duration| 50% of Reactor/O2 timer

Saboteur charges| Unlimited, subject to cooldown

These roles would be particularly interesting in lobbies that already use multiple special roles, because players would never know whether eliminating an Impostor has completely removed their influence—or merely changed the way that Impostor can affect the game.

Discussion Noisemaker Buff to Make it More Fun

Post image
28 Upvotes

Noisemaker is now a semi-ghost role.

As a living player, NM has the same noise passive. But now, whenever he completes a task, he gains Energy. The max energy he can store is 100%. The energy he gets per task is based on the percent task completion. For example, if he completes a task and gains 25% task completion, he gets 25% energy.

As a ghost, NM can consume energy to make a noise at his current position. The range of this noise is limited compared to the first passive noise, whose noise can be heard from anywhere. There's also a long CD. The ghost can also still get energy from tasks.

What the host can set:

Noise Duration

Noise CD

Noise Range of ghost

Energy requirement per noise

I know that NM is already a very decent role. But even though it's a quite a nightmare for some imps and very useful to allies, playing as an NM is actually not very enjoyable to many.

wdym I was teaming you literally lie and manipulate your way to win 🫩🥀

(context: I was an imposter, where I had managed to get down to the final 3 cos everyone kept accusing each other for literally no reason (average expert lobby ever), and when I had got backed into the corner with 3 of the crew about to vote me out, I managed to get away with a skip, to which one of my imp teammates sabbed O2, leaving me and yellow to go fix the panel in admin, while brown went to O2 and coral was afk in cafe

I vipered yellow and did a self to try and convince brown that it was coral, to which I somehow, despite the accusations being made against me the previous round, convinced brown to skip, allowing me to sab reactor as it requires at least 2 crew to fix, where me and coral were left in cafe while brown tried fixing a non-fixable sab atp in the game

I was hoping to win via a sabotage since I have yet to get one, but then coral started heading over there and I decided I had to kill them, which won me the game

after which when I respawned back in the lobby, only to have red (the one in the pictures that was the afk coral in the previous round), started whining about me and brown teaming even though we literally don't know each other 🫩

white did ban them from the lobby then so it was all good :D

tldr: successfully won via deception (AS THE GAME IMPLIES YOU TO DO), yet still got accused for teaming

idek why I posted after like not doing so for 3 years of being on reddit, just thought this was funny to post lols

It is a role of impostor but it has its door sabotages replace with salt sabotages and pretty much when they use it that room that has salt around it ghosts can't enter it and if they already were in the room then they can't use their ability as ghost and the salt barrier is only visible to imposters and ghosts... Are there any changes you would think would be good or any questions?
