  2. Townsfolk

    Bounty Hunter

    You start knowing 1 evil player. If the player you know dies, you learn another evil player tonight. [1 Townsfolk is evil]

    Alone, I walk these streets, paved with the sick stench of corruption. Its thickness worms its way into my nostrils, unbidden, burning with revulsion. And anticipation. The illness of this wretched place grows each night. And I... I am the cure.

    "You start knowing 1 evil player. If the player you know dies, you learn another evil player tonight. [1 Townsfolk is evil]" The Bounty Hunter tracks down evil players, one at a time. The Bounty Hunter starts knowing one evil player. When that player dies, they learn another evil player. The Bounty Hunter only learns the evil player, not their character. If the Bounty Hunter is drunk or poisoned when they should learn a new player, the Storyteller may show them a good player. When the recently shown player dies, the Bounty Hunter learns a new player that night. The Bounty Hunter cannot learn the same evil player twice. If the Bounty Hunter is in the game at setup, one Townsfolk is evil. The Bounty Hunter may learn the evil Townsfolk.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, turn one Townsfolk character token upside down, to represent that they are evil. Mark one evil player with the KNOW reminder.
    2. During the first night, wake the Bounty Hunter. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Bounty Hunter to sleep.
    3. Each time the player marked KNOW dies, mark a new evil player with the KNOW reminder. That night, wake the Bounty Hunter, point to the player marked KNOW, then put the Bounty Hunter to sleep.

    Snake Charmer

    Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned.

    Effendi... I am but a humble man, but my pipe is golden and a single tune will tame the wildest djinn, Inshallah. They say that greed hangs more men than rope. But not I, Effendi... not I.

    "Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned." The Snake Charmer learns player after player that is not the Demon... but becomes the Demon if they get either too greedy or too bold. Each night, they choose a player. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. If they are the Demon, the Snake Charmer becomes that Demon and turns evil, and the Demon becomes good and poisoned permanently. If the Philosopher has the Snake Charmer ability and becomes the Demon, the Demon becomes a poisoned Philosopher.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Snake Charmer. They point at any player.
    2. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. Put the Snake Charmer to sleep.
    3. If that player is the Demon, the old Snake Charmer changes into the new (evil) Demon, and the old Demon changes into the new (good) Snake Charmer—swap the Snake Charmer token and the Demon’s token. The new Snake Charmer is poisoned - mark them with the POISONED reminder. Wake the new Demon and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-down, the YOU ARE token, then the Demon’s token. (This shows they are now evil and the Demon.) Put the new Demon to sleep. Wake the new Snake Charmer and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-up, the YOU ARE info token, then the Snake Charmer token. (This shows they are now good and the Snake Charmer.) Put the new Snake Charmer to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • In the strange situation that the Snake Charmer is evil, or the Demon good, swap their alignments as appropriate.

  4. Townsfolk

    Cult Leader

    Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins.

    Thinking themselves wise, they became fools.

    "Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins." The Cult Leader wins if everyone joins their cult. At the end of each night, the Cult Leader becomes the alignment of a living neighbor. Once per day, the Cult Leader may publicly choose to form a cult. If all good players vote to join the cult, the game ends immediately and the Cult Leader’s team wins. The Cult Leader may form a cult at any point in the day. Voting to join a cult does not require a vote token. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player bluffing as the Cult Leader may pretend to form a cult.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, turn the Cult Leader character token right side up (if both alive neighbors are good) or upside down (if both alive neighbors are evil) or either (if one alive neighbor is good and the other alive neighbor is evil). If the Cult Leader's alignment changes, wake the Cult Leader and give a thumbs up or a thumbs down, then put the Cult Leader to sleep. If the Cult Leader’s alignment doesn’t change, do not wake them.
    2. During the day, the Cult Leader may declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, enter the circle and run a vote in the same way that you would for an Exile. If all good players raise their hand, declare which team has won. If not all good players raise their hand, nothing happens.

  5. Townsfolk

    Philosopher

    Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk.

    If anything is real, beer is real. Drink, for tomorrow we may die.

    "Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk." The Philosopher has no ability until they decide which character they want to emulate. They can do this once per game. When they do so, they gain that character’s ability. They do not become that character. They may want to wait a while to choose. If the Philosopher chooses a character that is already in play, the player of that character becomes drunk. If the Philosopher then dies or becomes drunk or poisoned, the player they are making drunk becomes sober again. If the Philosopher chose a character that was not in play at the time but is in play now, that character is drunk. If the Philosopher gains an ability that works at night, they wake when that character would wake. If this ability is used on the first night only, they use it tonight. If the Philosopher regains their ability via the Bone Collector, or uses their ability twice via the Barista, the Philosopher may choose a new ability, or the same ability as before. If the Philosopher’s ability works while dead, such as the Klutz’s, it works if the Philosopher is dead.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Philosopher. They either shake their head no or point at any Townsfolk icon or any Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Philosopher to sleep.
    2. If they pointed to an icon of a character not in play, swap the Philosopher token with the chosen character token and mark them with the IS THE PHILOSOPHER reminder.
    3. If they pointed to an icon of a character in play, the player of the chosen character becomes drunk - mark them with the DRUNK reminder. (You can now use the duplicated character’s reminders for the Philosopher). If the Philosopher dies, the player made drunk by the Philosopher becomes sober - remove the DRUNK reminder.

  6. Townsfolk

    Alchemist

    You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently.

    Visit the interior of the Earth. By rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone. Above the gold, lieth the red. Kether in Malkuth.

    "You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently." The Alchemist has a Minion ability. The Alchemist’s ability is usually that of a not-in-play Minion, but can duplicate an in-play Minion ability. The Alchemist learns which ability this is on the first night. They are still a good Townsfolk. They win when good wins, and lose when good loses. They register as good and as the Alchemist. The Alchemist does not wake to learn who the other Minions are or who the Demon is, like Minions do. If the Alchemist’s Minion ability adds or removes characters during setup, this still occurs during setup. If the Alchemist has an ability where the player chooses something, like the Poisoner or the Vizier, the Storyteller may ask the Alchemist to choose differently. The Alchemist must do so.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Alchemist. Show the YOU ARE info token then the character token of a Minion. Put the Alchemist to sleep. If the Alchemist has a not-in-play Minion ability, mark the Alchemist with the IS THE ALCHEMIST reminder and swap the Alchemist token with this Minion token and turn it upside down. (This shows they are still good.)
    2. The Alchemist has this Minion ability. They use it as if they were a Minion, and wake at night when that Minion would normally wake to use their ability.
    3. If the Alchemist makes a choice using their ability, you may ask them to choose differently. If this is during the day, ask verbally. If this is during the night, shake your head, point at the Alchemist ability text on the character sheet, and wait for the Alchemist to choose again.

  7. Townsfolk

    Amnesiac

    You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are.

    Wait. What. Who? Oh, ok. Wait. What?

    "You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are." The Amnesiac doesn’t know their own ability. The Storyteller decides what the Amnesiac’s ability is. It may be the same ability as another character in Blood On The Clocktower, something similar, or something original. The Amnesiac may wake at any time during the night to learn information or to choose a player, or their ability may be passive—not requiring action from the Amnesiac player. Each day, the Amnesiac talks to the Storyteller in private, and makes a guess as to what their ability is. The Storyteller answers “cold” if the guess is very wrong, “warm” if the guess is on the right track, “hot” if the guess is very close, and “bingo” if the guess is spot on. Their guess may be specific, such as “Am I learning two players each night that are the same alignment?”, or vague, such as “Is my ability something to do with dead players?”

    How to Run

    1. During setup, decide what ability the Amnesiac player has. During the game, treat that player as if they had that ability, waking them when needed, prompting them to choose players when needed, or whatever else is appropriate. Use the Amnesiac’s ? reminders if you need to.
    2. Each day, the Amnesiac makes a guess about their ability in private. Answer “Cold”, “Warm”, “Hot", or “Bingo”.

    Examples & Notes

    • Make the Amnesiac’s ability guessable, so that the Amnesiac can figure out what their ability is over time. Learning a piece of information each night, or a power that affects the game in a way that the Amnesiac notices, are both good ideas.
    • If the Amnesiac guesses their ability, but the wording is different, still tell them they guessed correctly.
    • You can make the Amnesiac’s ability slightly better than a normal Townsfolk’s ability. Not knowing what it is, the player will need to work harder to receive its full benefit.

  8. Outsider

    Ogre

    On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.

    <grunt><grin></grunt>

    "On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.” The Ogre is someone's best friend. The Ogre's chosen player does not change, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned when they chose. The Ogre becomes the same alignment as their chosen player immediately on the first night, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned. The Ogre is not told their alignment at the beginning of the game. If the Ogre changes alignment by other means, the Ogre learns their new alignment, as normal. If an Ogre is created mid-game, the Ogre chooses a player that night, and becomes their alignment.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Ogre. The Ogre points to a player. Put the Ogre to sleep. If the Ogre pointed to an evil player, flip the Ogre's character token upside down to represent that the Ogre is evil.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: Mark the Ogre’s chosen player with a FRIEND reminder. The Ogre is always the same alignment as their friend. If the Ogre’s friend changes alignment, the Ogre changes alignment too, but the Ogre does not learn this.
    • This is only recommended for games of 15 players or more, so that there are not too many evil players.

  9. Outsider

    Plague Doctor

    When you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability.

    Pleauze shtay shtill. Thinks nid tiime for hillink. Myrhh-myrhh.

    "When you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability." The Plague Doctor brings an extra Minion ability into play. The Storyteller chooses which Minion ability is gained. This ability is in effect for the rest of the game. Nothing else changes for the Storyteller – they don’t become evil, they don’t become a player, they are not a legitimate player to be targeted by other abilities, and they cannot vote or nominate. If the Plague Doctor is drunk or poisoned when they die, the Storyteller doesn’t gain a Minion ability, even when the Plague Doctor becomes sober and healthy.

    How to Run

    1. When the Plague Doctor dies, place a Minion character token in the centre of the left side of the Grimoire and mark this with the Plague Doctor’s STORYTELLER ABILITY reminder. Or, mark an in-play Minion with the STORYTELLER ABILITY reminder. If applicable, add a night token to the night sheet.
    2. When this Minion would normally act, the relevant choices are made by the Storyteller.

  10. Outsider

    Heretic

    Whoever wins, loses & whoever loses, wins, even if you are dead.

    After the hail has smashed the roof and splintered the glass of the Cathedral windows, it melts again into the earth, like a dying lamb in the desert sun. Such is the parable of the madman.

    "Whoever wins, loses & whoever loses, wins, even if you are dead." The Heretic turns a win into a loss, and a loss into a win. If the game ends due to the good team winning, then all good players lose, and all evil players win. If the game ends due to the evil team winning, then all evil players lose, and all good players win. The Heretic’s ability applies to all victory conditions, including the game ending due to just two players being alive, the Demon dying, or an ability ending the game. The Heretic’s ability functions even when the Heretic is dead, but not when the Heretic is drunk or poisoned.

    How to Run

    1. If the game ends and the evil team would have won, declare that the good team wins and the evil team loses.
    2. If the game ends and the good team would have won, declare that the evil team wins and the good team loses.

  11. Minion

    Mezepheles

    You start knowing a secret word. The 1st good player to say this word becomes evil that night.

    That which issues from the heart alone, will bend the hearts of others to your own.

    "You start knowing a secret word. The 1st good player to say this word becomes evil that night." The Mezepheles offers good players a choice: to turn evil or not. On the first night, the Mezepheles learns a secret word from the Storyteller. If a good player says this word, either publicly or privately, they turn evil that night. The Storyteller needs to hear this player actually say the word before turning them evil. The Mezepheles does not learn if a player turns evil. The good player learns if they turn evil, but not until that night. If the Mezepheles is sober and healthy at night, the good player turns evil even if the Mezepheles was drunk or poisoned when the good player spoke the secret word. If the Mezepheles is drunk or poisoned at night when a player would turn evil, the player stays good—the Mezepheles has “used their ability” and may not turn a player evil later on.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, write a single word on a piece of paper or on a phone or other device. During the first night, wake the Mezepheles, show the written word, then put them to sleep.
    2. The first time you hear a good player say the secret word, mark them with the TURNS EVIL reminder.
    3. Each night, if a player is marked with the TURNS EVIL reminder, wake them. Show the YOU ARE info token then give a thumbs down. Put them to sleep. Turn their character token upside down. (This shows they are now evil.) The Mezepheles loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.

    Examples & Notes

    • Choose an unusual word that would never be spoken accidentally. You can even make one up. The fun lies in the Mezepheles taking a risk to secretly convince a good player to turn evil, not in a good player unexpectedly changing teams.

    매일 밤*, 플레이어 1명을 선택합니다: 그는 사망합니다. 이 능력으로 사망한 첫 외지인만이 악한 팡 구가 되고 당신이 대신 사망합니다. [외지인 +1명]

    그대들이 쌓아 올린 벽도 무기도, 그저 꿈속에서 피어오른 연기일 뿐이니라.

  13. Fabled

    Sentinel

    There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play.

    Name, please. Papers, please. Weapons, please.

    "There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play." Add the Sentinel to your script to keep the number of Outsiders in play mysterious. The official character lists are carefully constructed so that the number of Outsiders is never completely known, which lets evil players safely bluff as Outsiders. Many of the games you create using the Script Tool will not have this luxury. If, for one reason or another, the number of Outsiders in a game will become certain, the Storyteller can add a Sentinel. This will confuse matters and help the evil team either bluff as Outsiders or make existing Outsiders look suspicious. Games with a Sentinel in play might have one more Outsider than normal. They may have one less. They may have the normal amount. It is up to the Storyteller.

    How to Run

    1. At the start of the game, declare that the Sentinel is in play. Add the Sentinel token to the Grimoire.
    2. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add an Outsider token and remove a Townsfolk token, remove an Outsider token and add a Townsfolk token, or do neither.
