New traitor psychologist item

Post by Troxonater » #655477

Supa Hot Fires Guide to Roasting: A 5 tc traitor item that teaches Psychologists how to roast people. Gives an ability called “roast.” When roast is activated, the Psychologist first chooses a target in their view. Then they type out the roast. This roast lowers their mood and sanity a tier, and adds the moodlet “Holy shit I just got roasted.” It's really easy to metagame but It’s more of a joke item anyways.

How about cranking it up to 8 TC and in return when someone you roasted hits the lowest level of sanity in a set amount of time, they suffer a heart attack? Still almost always too niche, but at least it would be a funny gimmick.

If you get roasted too much you should take burn damage. Maybe even get set on fire if your character has the psychological quirks like unstable, social anxiety, or depression (why not let the psychologist exploit someone's mental vulnerabilities?)
