This.

Prior to this game starting, most of the people that participated in mafia seemed to want a low-power mafia game (not as many crazy roles/powers flying around). Trust me I had to fight the urge a lot to not start handing out powers to certain villains that would've been so easy to do, but very quickly would've put this game more in line with the previous mafia games. The only roles I tweaked were the roleblocker (Fenris) finding out that character's fear as well, the serial killer (RO/Hawk2) which I gave him immunity to night kills from everyone EXCEPT Batman, and the miller (Aldurin) where I gave him immunity to night kills FROM Batman. The first one was, well.....honestly it just sounded cool and I thought it'd give some incentive for the roleblocker to actually try to figure out who the person was that they blocked. The serial killer, I gave the additional power to because the serial killer has the hardest role in the game in order to win so I thought I'd give him some additional immunities to help with survival. And lastly, the miller. While I absolutely HATE giving out any roles/abilities that actively screw over any player, I thought I'd give the miller the immunity to give them the dilemma "Do you roleclaim right away in hopes of saving yourself from being investigated and lynched? Or do you keep the claim to yourself and hope to waste one or more night kills from the mafia?"
