When I wrote overrated and underrated I was moreso talking about script design
Because I don’t like engineer that much lmao, but damn its not used well

they both give confirmation to one townsfolk and bring an ability from that dead townsfolk back into the game
the main difference
pixie is much easier to bluff which i think makes it more balanced
prof is borderline impossible. its like a virgin but you add another townsfolk ability to the game instead of removing one and its like. lol
Honestly even on bmr professor is ew

yeah like you literally can’t put professor on low-kill evil teams without them just being hard-confirmed
if a town pixie plays right its impossible to bluff as it
i.e
instantly outting, whispering, and discussing your fake role with others
professor provides an incontravertible game effect like a virgin
pixie is info and its a lot easier to bluff bc you can just claim whatever random role you saw and hope its in play

thats a similar chance to picking a dead minion/outsider
For the insta out route, an evil player can just say some townsfolk.
If it is in play, great, you look better!
If it’s not, great, you can support another evil’s bluff!
And if you’re adhering to madness, you look no different than a Minion caught without a bluff.

you’re acting like a pixie anyway
which is something they have to account for if its on script
not if you have competent social reads, choose players that died at night, and check whether theyre outsiders before doing it (drunk isn’t in bmr so wowee)
fair enough
but various script outsiders wouldn’t want to out
and various demons/minions mess with prof too

Yeah the only outsider you might trip on is a Goon who died evil (which, in fairness, can be a legit concern)

there’s also the large catching point that
if a prof hits then theyre hard confirmed
if you guess an in-play role as a pixie then thats still not hard to bluff
can’t the st’s just fuck with you and exe you if you claim outsider
which
given the whole “prof” in the game thing
they will
The only outsiders prof can reliably trip on are
Drunk, Politician and Heretic really since they’ll be most cagey post mortem
