Ask the Gods for Release from these Ordeals

"You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)" The Librarian learns that a particular Outsider character is in play, but not exactly which player it is. During the first night, the Librarian learns that one of two players is a specific Outsider. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more. The Drunk is an Outsider. If the Librarian learns that one of two players is the Drunk, they do not learn the Townsfolk that the Drunk's player thinks they are.

"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.

"Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." The Empath keeps learning if their living neighbours are good or evil. The Empath only learns how many of their neighbours are evil, not which one is evil. The Empath does not detect dead players. So, if the Empath is sitting next to a dead player, they do not get info about that dead player. Instead, they get info about the closest alive player in that direction. The Empath acts after the Demon, so if the Demon kills one of the Empath's alive neighbours, the Empath does not learn about the now-dead player. The Empath's information is accurate at dawn, not at dusk.

"Each night, learn which player the Storyteller believes you should talk to most." The High Priestess acts on intuition. The High Priestess can be shown the same player multiple times in a row, or a different player every night. The shown player can be alive or dead. The shown player can be good or evil. There are no official criteria that determine which player the Storyteller must show to the High Priestess. It is up to the Storyteller’s judgement as to what they think will most benefit the High Priestess and the good team in general. It could be because the player has important information that has not been revealed yet. Or because the player is evil and has a bluff that doesn’t make sense. Or because the player is trustworthy and needs to be trusted more. Or because the player is good but on the wrong track and needs to be corrected. Or something new.

"Each night, choose 2 alive players (not yourself): you learn how many woke tonight due to their ability." The Chambermaid learns who woke up at night. Each night, the Chambermaid chooses two players and learns if they woke tonight. They must choose alive players, and may not choose themself. This does not detect which of those players woke, only how many. This ability only detects characters who woke in order to use their ability. It does not detect characters who woke for any other reason—such as if the Storyteller woke a Minion to let them know who the Demon is, woke the Demon to give them their starting Demon info, woke a player due to the ability of a different character, or woke someone accidentally. If the character woke on a previous night but not this night, they are not detected by the Chambermaid. Players that woke tonight due to their ability but are drunk or poisoned still count as having woke tonight. If the Chambermaid chooses a dead player accidentally, the Storyteller prompts them to choose again.

"Each night, choose a player (not yourself or Travellers): you learn 1 good & 1 evil character, 1 of which is correct." The Dreamer learns players' characters, but is not sure if their information is entirely correct. Each night, the Dreamer chooses a player and learns two characters—one that the player is, and one that the player isn’t. The false character token depends on the chosen player’s true character type. If the Dreamer chooses a player who is a Townsfolk or Outsider, the false character token is any Minion or Demon. If they choose a player who is a Minion or Demon, the false character token is a Townsfolk or Outsider. The Dreamer may not choose themself, and may not choose a Traveller.

"Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil." The Oracle knows how many dead players are evil. Because the Oracle acts after the Demon attacks each night, the Oracle’s info refers to the players that are dead when dawn breaks and all players open their eyes. The Oracle detects dead Minions and Demons, but also any other players that are evil, such as evil Travellers, or Townsfolk and Outsiders that have been turned evil. When counting the number of dead players, remember to count Townsfolk and Outsider tokens that are upside-down, which means their alignment is the opposite of what is printed.

"Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight." The Monk protects other players from the Demon. Each night except the first, the Monk may choose to protect any player except themself. If the Demon attacks a player who has been protected by the Monk, then that player does not die. The Demon does not get to attack another player—there is simply no death tonight. The Monk does not protect against the Demon nominating and executing someone.

"Once per game, at night, choose a player: they learn you are the Nightwatchman." The Nightwatchman is known by one player. At night, the Nightwatchman chooses a player. This player wakes, and learns which player the Nightwatchman is. The Nightwatchman and their chosen player do not make eye contact. They wake separately. The Nightwatchman player chooses which night to act.

"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.

"You are safe from the Demon." The Soldier can not be killed by the Demon. The Soldier cannot die from the Demon's ability. So, if the Imp attacks the Soldier at night, nothing happens. Nobody dies. The Imp does not get to choose another player to attack instead. The Soldier can still die by execution, even if the nominator was the Demon. The Soldier is protected from the Demon's ability to kill, not the actions of the Demon player.

"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.

"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.
