As a medium, you are able to talk to the dead in the night and you can whisper to the living when you are dead. But what exactly are you supposed to ask them? Nobody knows by whom they got killed. What is the purpose of this role?



Best Answer

The purpose of the Medium is to find out information that the dead players know, especially given that you are 100% certain of their role once they are dead. So a dead Sheriff can be relied upon to give accurate information about who they suspected or cleared.

In a well played game, where all the roles keep accurate last will entries, a Medium may not be able to glean much information, though the dead table talk may provide some extra information as the dead compare notes. However, they are still extremely important as a Town vote for lynching known enemies. I've had many games lost where we as the Town knew who was evil, but could not muster enough votes to deal with them.
