The problem with mediums

[gigawatts]

Mediums are easily the most boring and useless role in the game and I feel like this can easily be changed. Instead of having a useless ability where you can only talk to one person why not change it to where you can come back as a ghost for one day only. Speaking to one living person isn't beneficial at all as it can easily be denied, you can't however deny a ghost that everyone can see. This would allow the medium to communicate with the living and possibly take part in a trail.

Honestly the biggest problem with mediums is that in most games dead people just quit or stay silent, so when you're alive and can talk to the dead you can't actually get any leads from them.
Also the fact that you can only talk to 1 person while dead proves to be an added challenge for the medium as you'll have to pick someone who's not mafia/SK.

Mediums are the most boring roles early game. Mid to late they're okay.. still boring but they're okay. Honestly, i'd like it if they could do some moving around or something...

Yeah, I kind of like the idea of being able to appear during the discussion of a trial or something once. After that it's gone.... but keep in mind it could throw balance way off when it comes from your mouth and people know 110% who is what. The seance adds another strategic llayer to the game. I've had a game where a medium seanced a player. The player told everyone about it but was quickly turned on because he wasn't trustworthy enough in their eyes.

How about making being dead a bit more fun? Medium is fine as it is, its the dead thats boring.

For example, How about, as dead, we can gather information, same as invest or sheriff, only Once, after we die as ghosts?. Then we can talk to the medium about it. Mafia can choose to lie, since dead mafia still win if mafia wins.

You guys serious? Medium is by far one of the strongest town roles. True, it sucks when people leave but after they patch in penalties for leaving, it will be fine.

This, as long as dead people don't leave the medium is a very useful role.

Uuugh ... no. Just no. Medium is the most useless role in this game. Medium only counters the janitor if he cleaned an invest that got some infos and died before revealing them.

There is no use in talking to other death people, because they only can give you the same information you already have for yourself if you did pay enough attetion to the game. If a medium really helped you out, it's only because you were brain afk.
