The Sheriff

The Sheriff role is taken in addition to the assigned role, and it endows the player with additional, overt, daytime powers. The Sheriff can be chosen at random, but is usually made by vote each morning. The Sheriff can call a vote on any player without nomination or seconding once per day.

The Sheriff can be used by both sides to force votes, so the balance remains effectively neutral.
