Tracking issue:
Name: Underboss
Troupe: Mafia
Archetypes: N/A
Description: Serve as the godfather's right-hand man. Do the jobs no other Mafioso is skilled enough to do.
Objectives: None.
Masquerade notes: N/A
When 'da boss has a job no one else can handle... less jus' say I'm 'da one he's callin'...
Concept
The underboss is the second-in-command in the mafia and is focused on aggressive combat maneuvers. While they don't have the sheer firepower of the godfather, their less-important position in the mafia opens them up for more aggressive play.
Abilities
The underboss starts with a double-barrel shotgun, several boxes of buckshot and slugs, an armored vest, and a knife.
The underboss is first in line to promote into the godfather.
Gameplay
The underboss serves as a more visceral type of mafia mask that is focused on fighting security and taking heat off of the godfather. Since outsiders aren't able to distinguish who is actually the true godfather, it may serve the underboss to pose as the boss, lulling the crew into a false sense of security while the true Godfather continues to work.
