Townsfolk
You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil.
Sarcasm is indeed the lowest form of wit. But speaking in response to your criticism, Sir, it is, nevertheless, a form of wit.
"You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil." The Noble learns that one of three players is evil. The Noble learns their information on the first night only. If a Noble is created mid-game, the Noble learns their information on their first night. The Noble learns two good players and one evil player. They may not learn one good player and two evil players. They may not learn three evil players.
Townsfolk
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.
Townsfolk
You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary.
これは夢。それも夢。すべ て夢です。
"You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary." The Shugenja trusts players to their left, or to their right. The closest evil player is the player with the smallest number of steps from the Shugenja to the evil player. If the evil players are ‘equidistant’, that means that the closest evil player clockwise is the same number of steps away from the Shugenja as the closest evil player anti-clockwise. If the evil players are equidistant, the storyteller gives ‘arbitrary’ information to the Shugenja. This means that the Storyteller chooses whether to tell the Shugenja that the closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. The Shugenja doesn’t know whether their information is arbitrary or not. The Shugenja does not learn how many steps away the evil player is. If a Shugenja is created mid-game, the Shugenja wakes that night to receive their information. The Storyteller communicates with the Shugenja by pointing a finger in the appropriate direction, but may use other methods if they wish.
Townsfolk
You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk. If you were mad that you were this character, you gain their ability when they die.
Round and round the garden, go. Little girls run to and fro. Little boys climb up the tree. Which of these should Pixie be? Ladies smile and go to town. Lords with axe chop forest down. What’s yours is mine. What’s mine, divine. Silly little Pixie, me.
"You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk. If you were mad that you were this character, you gain their ability when they die." The Pixie pretends to be the same character as someone else. On the first night, the Pixie learns an in-play Townsfolk. The Storyteller chooses which Townsfolk this is. The Pixie does not learn which player is this character. If the Pixie player pretends that they are this Townsfolk, they gain the ability of this Townsfolk when the Townsfolk dies. They could have spoken loudly about being the character for one day, or pretended to be the character each day this game, or accused the Townsfolk of being a liar—the Storyteller is the judge of whether or not the player was convincing, by “being mad that they are this character”. When the Townsfolk player dies, the Pixie does not learn this, and is not told that they have gained a new ability. They may learn this has happened if they wake at night and start gaining information, or are prompted to choose players. If the player the Pixie learns about changes character then dies, the Pixie gains the ability of the Townsfolk the Pixie learnt about, not the new character.
Townsfolk
Each night, choose an alive player: either you or they are drunk until dusk. You can't die.
I'll drink any one of yer under the table! You! The chatterbox! Reckon you can take me? No? Howza 'bout you, Grandma? You ever tried Old McKillys Extra Spiced Rum before? Guaranteed to put hairs on yer chest! Step aboard, aye!
"Each night, choose an alive player: either you or they are drunk until dusk. You can't die." The Sailor is either drunk or getting somebody else drunk. While the Sailor is sober, they can't die. Each night, the Sailor chooses a player, who will probably get drunk. If they choose themself, they lose their “cannot die” ability until they become sober. If the Sailor chooses a dead player accidentally, the Storyteller prompts them to choose again. If the Sailor chooses another player, the Storyteller chooses which player is drunk. If they choose a Townsfolk, the Storyteller will usually make the Townsfolk drunk, but if an Outsider, a Minion, or the Demon is chosen, then the Storyteller will usually make the Sailor the drunk one. While sober, the Sailor cannot die, even if they have not yet woken at night to go drinking.
Townsfolk
Each night, choose a player: you learn their alignment. [+0 to +2 Village Idiots. 1 of the extras is drunk]
장미는 파랗고, 제비꽃은 빨갛다네. 방금 말 일부러 거꾸로 한거야. 진짜야.
"매일 밤, 플레이어 1명을 선택하세요. 그 플레이어의 성향을 알게 됩니다. [+0~+2 동네바보. 추가된 동네바보 중 1명은 취해 있습니다.]" 동네바보들은 플레이어의 성향을 알아내는 집단입니다. 취한 동네바보는 게임 세팅 때 이야기꾼이 정합니다. 플레이어 수와 상관없이 동네바보는 1명, 2명, 혹은 3명까지 있을 수 있습니다. 동네바보가 1명뿐이라면 그 플레이어는 취해 있지 않습니다. 취한 동네바보가 참 정보를 받을 수도 있습니다. 세팅 단계에서 동네바보가 추가될 때는 다른 마을주민을 대신합니다. 게임 도중 동네바보가 생기면 한 명만 생깁니다. 동네바보들은 한꺼번에 행동하지 않고, 한 명씩 따로 행동합니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보들이 모두 게임에서 사라져도, 남은 취한 동네바보는 계속 취한 상태입니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보가 다른 이유로 취하거나 중독되더라도, 원래 취한 동네바보는 그대로 취해 있습니다.
Townsfolk
Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]
More heat! Higher! Higher! Più alto! Ahhh... it is so beautiful from up here, don't you agree? Can you see the children fishing by the river, under the willow? Can you see the glint of the sun on the circus tent-poles? What's this? An old man, alone, passed out in the vineyard? Less heat! Lower! Lower! Vai più in basso!
"Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]" The Balloonist learns players of different character types. Each time the Balloonist learns a player, the player must have a different character type to the previously shown player. The Balloonist does not learn the character type of the player they learn. The shown player can be alive or dead. The shown player can be good or evil. If the Balloonist is drunk or poisoned, they may learn a character of the same type as the previously shown player. When the Balloonist becomes sober and healthy, they must learn a player of a different character type to the previously shown player. During setup, the Storyteller may choose to add an Outsider due to the Balloonist’s ability.

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?”
Townsfolk
Once per game, at night, choose a living player: the Damsel, if chosen, becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk. [+the Damsel]
My cabin is warm and sturdy. My axe by the door, my boots drying by the fire, and elk stew a-simmering… Hark! A scream echoes through the valley! The rain and the mud and the cold, cold wind mask the scent of the wolves, but I know the path and my pace is steady. I am coming.
"Once per game, at night, choose a living player: the Damsel, if chosen, becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk. [+the Damsel]" The Huntsman saves the Damsel before the Minions find her... hopefully. The Damsel can be in play without the Huntsman. During the setup phase, if the Huntsman is in play and the Damsel isn’t, the Damsel is added. If a Damsel is already in play, the Huntsman doesn’t add a second Damsel. If the Huntsman correctly chooses the Damsel at night, the Damsel becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk immediately. The Storyteller chooses which Townsfolk character, and the Damsel learns which one. When the Damsel becomes a Townsfolk, they gain that Townsfolk ability and lose the Damsel ability. The Huntsman gets one guess, and makes it at night. The Minions get one guess in total, and make it publicly during the day. If a Minion guesses who the Damsel is, evil wins. If a Minion incorrectly guesses who the Damsel is, the guess is used, and other Minions cannot win by correctly guessing the Damsel. If the Damsel is drunk or poisoned but the Huntsman is sober and healthy, the Damsel can still become a Townsfolk.
Townsfolk
If both your alive neighbors are good, they can't die.
If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, tea will cool you. If you are depressed, tea will cheer you. If you are excited, tea will calm you.
"If both your alive neighbors are good, they can't die." The Tea Lady protects her neighbours from death... as long as they are good. If both alive neighbours of the Tea Lady are currently good, those neighbours cannot die. The Demon cannot kill them, nor the Godfather, nor the Gossip. If they are executed, they do not die. The only exception is the Assassin, who can kill someone protected from death. The Tea Lady’s alive neighbours are the two alive players closest to the Tea Lady—one clockwise and one counterclockwise. Skip past any dead neighbours. However, if either alive neighbours is evil, or both are, then the Tea Lady does not protect her alive neighbours . If an evil player dies and the Tea Lady is now neighbouring two good players, then neither can die.
Townsfolk
When you die at night, an alive good player becomes a Farmer.
Even the high and mighty need food on the table. Without us, the city starves.
"When you die at night, an alive good player becomes a Farmer." The Farmer creates more farmers. If a Farmer dies at night, another player becomes a Farmer too. Only players that are good can become Farmers this way. If this new Farmer also dies at night, another Farmer is created. Farmers that die during the day, such as by execution, do not create more Farmers. Farmers that have turned evil, such as from the Mezepheles’ ability, can create more Farmers. But Townsfolk and Outsiders that have turned evil cannot become a Farmer. Farmers do not learn who each other are, but each player that becomes a Farmer learns that they are now a Farmer. When a player becomes a Farmer, they are no longer their old character, and do not have that ability. Any ongoing effects of their old ability immediately end.
Townsfolk
Minions & Demons do not know each other. If you die, they learn who each other are that night.
In the hidden groves of the deep forest, the black poppy dwells. To see its revelry is to be enchanted. To smell its thick aroma is to be lost forever, a slave to the gods of light and dark.
"Minions & Demons do not know each other. If you die, they learn who each other are that night." The Poppy Grower prevents the evil players from learning who each other are. The Demon still learns three not-in-play characters that are safe to bluff as. If the Poppy Grower dies, the Demon and Minions learn who each other are, as though it were the first night again. If the Poppy Grower becomes drunk or poisoned, Demons and Minions do not suddenly learn who each other are. If the Poppy Grower is drunk or poisoned when they die, Demons and Minions do not learn who each other are, since the Poppy Grower has no ability that night. An evil Traveller still learns which player is the Demon when that Traveller enters play.
Townsfolk
You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution.
I don’t like clowns. They taste funny.
"You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution." The Cannibal eats executed characters, gaining their ability. If a good player dies by execution, the Cannibal gains that player’s ability. If an evil player dies by execution, the Cannibal only thinks that they gain an ability, since the Cannibal is poisoned. The Storyteller may be lying to them. Each time a player dies by execution, the Cannibal loses the ability of the previous player. Executing a dead player won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. Executing a living player who doesn’t die won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. A player must be executed and die for the Cannibal to gain their ability. The Cannibal is not told which ability they have gained. They must figure that out for themselves. If the Cannibal has an “even if dead” ability, such as the Recluse, or an ability that implies it works while dead, such as the Ravenkeeper or Sweetheart, the Cannibal keeps that ability when they die, but loses their Cannibal ability.
Outsider
Each night, the 1st player to choose you with their ability is drunk until dusk. You become their alignment.
Yes boss. I explained fings real good to dat geezer. He don't want me explain it again. Nah boss, I don't need no doctor - it's only a knife wound. Be right come mornin'
"Each night, the 1st player to choose you with their ability is drunk until dusk. You become their alignment." The Goon is immune to other characters at night, but keeps changing allegiances. Each night, the first time a player wakes to use their ability and chooses the Goon, that player becomes drunk immediately. Their ability does not work tonight, nor the next day. Later on the same night, if another player wakes to use their ability and chooses the Goon, their ability works as normal. The Goon cannot make a player drunk unless the player chose the Goon. The Storyteller choosing the Goon due to an ability, such as the Grandmother’s, doesn’t count. As soon as the Goon makes a player drunk, the Goon changes alignment to match theirs. The Goon still changes alignment, and makes the player drunk, if the player choosing the Goon was already drunk or poisoned. If chosen by the Assassin, the Goon dies but still turns evil.
Outsider
You might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead.
Garn git ya darn grub ya mitts ofma lorn yasee. Grr. Natsy pikkins yonder southwise ye begittin afta ya! Git! Me harvy no so widda licks and demmons no be fightin' hadsup ne'er ma kin. Git, assay!
"You might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead." The Recluse might appear to be an evil character, but is actually good. Whenever the Recluse's alignment is detected, the Storyteller chooses whether the Recluse registers as good or evil. Whenever the Recluse is targeted by an ability that affects specific Minions or Demons, the Storyteller chooses whether the Recluse registers as that specific Minion or Demon. The Recluse may register as either good or evil, or as an Outsider, Minion, or Demon, at different parts of the same night. The Storyteller chooses whatever is most interesting. A Recluse that registers as a particular Minion or Demon does not have this character's ability. For example, a Recluse that registers as a Poisoner does not wake at night and cannot poison a player.
Outsider
If you are “mad” about being an Outsider, you might be executed.
I am not a freak! I am a human being! Have mercy!
"If you are "mad" about being an Outsider, you might be executed." The Mutant is killed if they try to reveal who they are. “Madness” is a term that means “you are trying to convince the group of something.” So, if the Mutant player is mad about being the Mutant, this means they are trying to convince people that they are the Mutant. If they are mad about being an Outsider, this means they are trying to convince people that they are an Outsider. This can be by verbally hinting who they are, or by their silence when questioned. It is always up to the Storyteller to decide what the Mutant is doing. If you think they are trying to convince the group they are an Outsider in any way, you can execute them—even outside the nomination phase, or at night. If you do, no other executions may happen today by normal means, since there is only one execution per day. If the Mutant hints that they are the Mutant at night, you may execute them that night, even if an execution happened today. Declare they have died, and continue the night phase as normal. An execution may still happen the next day.
Outsider
All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses.
Don't touch the hair, honey.
"All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses." The Damsel needs to avoid being found by the Minions. If a Minion guesses that you are the Damsel, and does so publicly (so that all players know that they are a Minion), evil wins. No matter how many Minions are in play, they only get one guess, total. If a Minion makes a guess and is wrong, future guesses by this Minion or by other Minions don’t count. If the Demon pretends to be a Minion making a guess, that doesn’t count as a guess. Minions may still make a guess and win. Minions may make a guess at any time. If the Damsel dies, they are no longer at risk of being guessed by a Minion, since the Damsel loses their ability when dead. There may not be a Huntsman in play. But if there is, and the Huntsman chooses the Damsel at night, the Damsel becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk, and is no longer the Damsel. The Damsel learns which Townsfolk and has that Townsfolk ability from then on.
Minion
Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day.
Add compound Alpha to compound Beta... NOT TOO MUCH!
"Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day." The Poisoner secretly disrupts character abilities. Each night, the Poisoner chooses someone to poison for that night and the entire next day. A poisoned player has no ability, but the Storyteller pretends they do. They do not affect the game in any real way. However, to keep up the illusion that the poisoned player is not poisoned, the Storyteller wakes them at the appropriate time and goes through the motions as if they were not poisoned. If their ability gives them information, the Storyteller may give them false information. If a poisoned player uses a "once per game" ability while poisoned, they cannot use their ability again.
Minion
Each night, choose a living player (different to last night): if executed tomorrow, they don't die.
My client, should the objection be overruled, pleads innocent by virtue of the prosecution's non-observance of statute 27.B - incorrect or misleading conjugation of a verb. The fact that nine of the jury died last night is simply prima facie, which is, as Wills vs Thule set precedent for, further reason to acquit.
"Each night, choose a living player (different to last night): if executed tomorrow, they don't die." The Devil's Advocate saves players from execution. Each night, the Devil’s Advocate chooses a player to protect from death by execution. The next day, if that player is executed, the execution succeeds but the player remains alive. The Devil’s Advocate cannot choose the same player two nights in a row, whether or not that player was saved from execution today, and they cannot choose a Zombuul that registers as dead.
Minion
Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player.
Beware of gazing long into the Abyss, lest the Abyss also gaze into you.
"Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player." The Fearmonger creates paranoia about who nominates whom. During the first night, when the Fearmonger selects a player, all players learn this. During other nights, each time the Fearmonger selects a new player, all players learn this. If the Fearmonger selects the same player as previously, the players learn nothing. The players only learn that the Fearmonger has acted, not which player was selected. If the Fearmonger nominates their chosen player, and that nomination results in their execution, the chosen player loses, their team loses, and the game ends. Only the currently chosen player is susceptible to the Fearmonger’s ability. Previously chosen players don’t count. If the chosen player is executed but does not die, the chosen player’s team still loses.
Minion
If you publicly claim to be the Goblin when nominated & are executed that day, your team wins.
You don’t want to insult the goblins. You really, really don’t. On a completely different note… can I have another piece of cake?
"If you publicly claim to be the Goblin when nominated & are executed that day, your team wins." The Goblin takes revenge if the town knowingly executes them. If the Goblin is executed, evil wins. ...but for this to happen the Goblin needs to tell the group that they are the Goblin when they are nominated, but before votes happen, and to do so in a way that everyone hears. The good players need to know the risk. If the Goblin is executed without telling the group that they are the Goblin when nominated, the Goblin dies and the game continues as normal. The Goblin must have claimed to be the Goblin today for their ability to work. Telling the group yesterday, or even every previous day, doesn't count. Any player may claim to be the Goblin when nominated.
Demon
Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]
Step 1: Be cute. Step 2: World domination. Step 3: Bweakfast.
"Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]" Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, and is instead babysat by a Minion. Each night, all Minions wake together and decide amongst themselves who babysits the Lil’ Monsta. The Minions decide by pointing to a player, or otherwise make it obvious they have reached a decision. If they can not reach a unanimous decision, the Storyteller decides. If the Storyteller thinks it is funny, they may give this player the Lil’ Monsta token, which they will need to hide in a pocket, under their hat, or somewhere appropriate. Players may not request that others empty their pockets. The player with the Lil’ Monsta token “is the Demon”. Good wins if they die. They register as a Demon for characters like the Fortune Teller etc. If a good player babysits Lil’ Monsta, they “are the Demon” but they remain good. A dead player babysitting Lil’ Monsta ends the game because the Demon “is dead”. Minions babysitting Lil’ Monsta keep their Minion ability. Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, so can’t be drunk or poisoned.
Demon
Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead.
Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty brai- I mean pie! Yes. Tasty pie. That’s what I meant to say.
"Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead." The Lleech lives if their host lives, and dies if their host dies. On the first night, the Lleech chooses a player, who is poisoned for the rest of the game. If this player is alive, the Lleech cannot die. If the Lleech is executed, the Storyteller tells the group that the player lives, but not why. If the player that the Lleech chose dies, the Lleech dies as well. If this means that only one or two players are left alive, good still wins, because the Demon is dead. From the second night onwards, players that the Lleech attacks die but are not poisoned. If a Lleech is created mid-game, they poison a player that night. They must choose an alive player.
Demon
Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]
All doors are one door. All keys are one key. All cups are one cup, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall never thirst, but the water shall be in him a well springing up into everlasting life.
"Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]" The Vigormortis kills their own Minions, but those Minions keep their ability. Every time the Vigormortis kills a Minion, they die but keep their ability for as long as the Vigormortis remains alive. The Witch, Cerenovus, and Pit-Hag still act each night. Somewhat like the No Dashii, the dead Minion’s closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk becomes poisoned, even if they are dead. If the Vigormortis dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those players become healthy again. One Townsfolk per Minion will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. The Storyteller chooses which of the two Townsfolk is poisoned. All Minions killed by the Vigormortis keep their ability and poison a Townsfolk, not just the most recent. If a dead Minion becomes a non-Minion character, they no longer poison a Townsfolk and have no ability. If a dead Minion becomes drunk or poisoned, they lose their ability until they become sober and healthy again.
Demon
Each night*, choose a player: they die. The 1st Outsider this kills becomes an evil Fang Gu & you die instead. [+1 Outsider]
Your walls and your weapons are but smoke in dreams.
"Each night*, choose a player: they die. The 1st Outsider this kills becomes an evil Fang Gu & you die instead. [+1 Outsider]" The Fang Gu possesses Outsiders. The first time a Fang Gu attacks and kills an Outsider, the Fang Gu dies, and the Outsider becomes a Fang Gu and turns evil. This can only happen once per game. If the new Fang Gu attacks an Outsider, the Outsider dies as normal. The new Fang Gu counts as the Demon, and good wins if they die. They do not learn which players are Minions. There is an extra Outsider in play. If the Fang Gu attacks an Outsider but that Outsider does not die, that Outsider does not become an evil Fang Gu and the Fang Gu does not die.
