Hi,
I am looking at the pretender and am a bit baffled.
You got no abilitie to confirm or fake confirm yourself as BD, since you want to become king claiming something royal seems logical but isn't (will get to that in a moment) and since you have no (BD) confirmable ability you will look like an MM or Cult leader most of the time.

Royal Blood claims: You can't fake them. You can not redirect, you can not flirt you can only force vote someone and that's not an accaptable confirm ability ever since christmas.

What remains is the Alch claim if you want to be Obs / princess proof ( S / I , Neutral) but that's pretty much excluding you from ever becoming King.

This seems to leave us with the standart "Hey look at me I am evil" fake claims:
Physician, CW, Knight. Physicians don't become King since they are too importent.
CWs don't become King unless it's an unseen game and they have confirmed Swaps.
Knights don't become King because they are 20 / 10 times the assassin / cult / nk / fool / what ever isn't knight.

I like the idea of the class, mostly because it unites the Royal Reaper and the Kingslayer(butler) meme in one Character, but I honestly don't see how to play it effectivly. It's more like a very weak NK with very slim chances of fullfilling his / her win condition (becoming king AND surviving without guards. Speaking of: You got no guards so you kinda have to wait till late game to become king or just get murdered unless you ask for protection which almost guaranteed makes people suspicious of you ... )

What are your thoughts? Does the class need an adjustment? Do we just need more time to play around with it to see ways of making it work? How do you think it could be played to get more than a less than possessors chance to win?
