Notes

Each character has a friend! Some characters start with a friend or even two. Some characters have to go on a quest to find their friend. Some characters conjure a friend by deception or magic. It's still Blood on The Clocktower, though, so there's a very good chance that your friend is evil. Now go kill your friends! Librarian was way too powerful, removed it. Assassin is the 5th minion to make bluffing Grandmother possible, and to give cover to the Summoner. Evil Twin was found to be a problem in play-testing. Removing it. No 5th minion, as a challenge to myself to use Baron more. Removed Saint and added Puzzlemaster. The Saint didn't really offer much to this script, and it had limited play options, and it was a friend to no-one. The Puzzlemaster has a friend to find, and a there is a fun challenge that is left as an exercise to the reader. Also, the Puzzlemaster means you can use the Spy more sparingly and the Baron more frequently. Fang Gu cannot make a 2nd evil if the Ogre is evil. However, the Fang Gu can still jump to the Ogre or to a Spy if there is one. Gnome makes more sense thematically. I still don't like travelers, but here you go!
