* GreatDetective

* EvilCounterpart - to Investigator

* UltimateAuthorityMayor: The Mayor is hidden just like the rest of the Townies. But when he does come out of hiding, he's given more authority than most, counting as three votes for both lynching and for verdicts. Unfortunately, the evildoers also know exactly who you are.

* TheJailer - although only temporarily, his target is put in a cell allowing the Jailor to talk with them and execute, if neccessary. In specific circumstances, this can be directly invoked - in situation when needs to stop an evil killing role while Investigators and Sheriffs are searching for other enemies.
* VigilanteMan - one of the only 2 Town roles that can kill a target of their choice. Jailor has the added benefit of Roleblocking his target(stopping said person from doing a night action), protecting them from other attacks and being able to anonymously talk with the convict. Although this can lead to IDidntMeanToKillHim moments, when a Witch finds out that you have a high value target in your cell and makes you execute them.
* EnhancedInterrogationTechniques[=/=]JackBauerInterrogationTechnique - with the threat of executing their convict on the spot, the Jailor is the only role that can effectively interrogate someone.

* BigBad: this is Godfather's role in the game. He is the leader of Mafia.
* {{Badass}}: lore presents him as one, being the only person that everyone fears. In game he is on par with Serial Killer with the added benefit of having trusted allies.

* ForgingTheWill: Can rewrite last wills. This can be heavily misleading with a Consigliere or a Disguiser.

* FurVersusFang: Vampires must beat Werewolves in order to win.

* FurVsFang: Vampires are on the hit-list for Werewolves.

* ForgingTheWill

* CriminalAmnesiac: The Amnesiac can choose to do this, if he remembers he was a Serial Killer or Mafia and wreaks havoc.

* MuggingTheMonster: Anyone who attempts to kill a werewolf at night during a full moon will be killed instead. However, if the werewolf attacks a bodyguard, [[TakingYouWithMe they kill each other]].
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: On every full moon night, the werewolf gains the power to visit someone and kill them. Incidentally, he also gains the counter-kill ability to kill whoever visits him on the night of a full moon.

The Mafia is made up of: Blackmailer, Consigliere, Consort, Disguiser, Framer, Godfather, Janitor and Mafioso.

* TheMafia

!!Town of Salem divides role into 3 main factions:

* Revenge

[[/folder]]

!! Tropes associated with specific roles:

Godfather(Mafia Killing Kill someone each night.

!! Tropes associated with all roles in this faction:

* CleanupCrew: The Janitor can clean up the body of the mafia's kill, meaning the town won't know what role he was or what was written in his Last Will.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: The Disguiser role functions like this – if the person they select to swap with dies, they swap with them, taking on their name, avatar and their role.
* DetectiveMole: The Consigliere has the ability to see other people's exact roles, unlike the Sheriff or Investigator, and can claim to be a Sheriff or Investigator to keep Townies away from his Mafia friends.

* TheDragon: The Mafioso, when there's both a Mafioso and a Godfather. The Consigliere can also fill the role of TheLancer to the Godfather, since their role gives them the most information about who to target for murder, framing, distraction, and blackmail.
* EvilCounterpart: Both the Consigliere and Consort are Mafia counterparts to the Investigator and Escort respectively. Consiglieres are able to tell roles like investigative Townies, Consorts are able to roleblock others like the Escort.

Executioner(Neutral Evil)-Get your target lynched.
Jester(Neutral Evil)Trick the Town into voting against you.

* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Amnesiacs can become a role from a person that has died. They are harmless at the start of the game because they can't do anything yet.
* CriminalAmnesiac: The Amnesiac can choose to do this, if he remembers he was a Serial Killer or Mafia and wreaks havoc.
* KillItWithFire: The Arsonist's whole shtick. Once a night, he can douse anyone he wants with gas and chooses when to light them up. The scary part? ''No night immunity will protect you.''
* ObfuscatingStupidity: The Jester's goal is to be hung by the rest of the town. This is one of many tactics people use.

* PowersViaPossession: The Witch class can do this if she possesses someone with a night ability, using it for herself.
* SerialKiller: ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Very obvious]]''. The only roles he can't kill are the ones with night immunity like he does, but he can be killed by a Veteran if he visits while on alert.
* TakingYouWithMe: When the Jester is lynched, he chooses someone to feel guilty about killing them and commit suicide the following night.
* TheJester: The Jester role. Duh.

* BackFromTheDead: The Retributionist can revive a dead person only once. They typically tend to revive an investigative role.
* DistractedByTheSexy: This is what the Escort does. Your role is described as "''a beautiful woman skilled in [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow distraction]]''."

* HowDidYouKnowIDidnt: Some Jailors will randomly execute a prisoner at night and discover their prisoner was actually part of the mafia. When asked how they knew, some say "I just did" or "I made a guess." Though sometimes this is illogical when some do it only four days in.
* ISeeDeadPeople: The Medium's job is to do this. They can communicate with the dead every night, and relay information back to the town from beyond the grave.
** They can also invoke this on one person if they die, letting the selected person see them talking to give information to write in a Will or say during the day.
* TheMedic: The Doctor can heal one other person every night, and can heal himself once.
* ShellShockedVeteran: The Veteran is a classic example of one. If he goes on alert and anyone visits him, night immunities be damned, they'll be dead.

* TeleportSpam: The Transporter can do this, being able to swap two people during the night, even himself. Doing so switches all targets aimed at the two, so if one is about to be stabbed by a Serial Killer the other person is instead.
** The Teleporter also has the rare ability to switch himself out with someone who's left the game, is considered dead, but still shows up on the switching post. No one targets a dead person.
