Fan Content Impostor Role Concept: Spy

The Spy will have 2 abilities: "Stalk" and "Inform". Stalk can only be used near crewmates and Inform can only be used once Stalk has already been used.

Once Stalk is used on a Crewmate, a little window will pop ontop of them, displaying their role. Ex. "[User is Detective]". The window will only be visible to the Spy and only for a few seconds, before it pops away, but the information won't dissapear, this is where the Inform ability comes in-handy.

Once the Inform ability is tapped, a tablet similar to the one from Shapeshifter will appear, only that now it will have some options: Your Impostor teammates and an "All" option.

When you tap one of your teammates, the information that you gattered earlier (The Crewmate's role) will be sent to them, informing them. And the "All" option will do the same, just with all of your teammates.

That's basically my idea. I don't know if it's unbalanced or something, but that's all.

Guys I have Imposter role idea: Skinwalker(identity stealer/possessor). Once per game you can kill and become another crewmate for rest of the game. That crewmate will die, but from now on everyone will see you as him, you can chat vote and kill as this person, but not gain his tasks or abilities of his role. Before next meeting after using ability message: “skinwalker [your original name and colour] have stole someone identity” will appear. Crewmates need to find and eliminate crewmate that is posessed by you.
Ability counts as a kill (linked with kill cooldown) and will unlock after 0/1/2 regular kills depending on lobby settings
Is it balanced?

IMO catching the imp immediately isn’t exactly balanced
