Townsfolk
You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion.
It is a fine night for a stroll, wouldn't you say, Mister Morozov? Or should I say... BARON Morozov?
"You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion." The Investigator learns that a particular Minion character is in play, but not exactly which player it is. During the first night, the Investigator learns that one of two players is a specific Minion. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more.
Townsfolk
You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk.
Bloodstains on a dinner jacket? No, this is cooking sherry. How careless.
"You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk." The Washerwoman learns that a specific Townsfolk is in play, but not who is playing them. During the first night, the Washerwoman is woken, shown two players, and learns the character of one of them. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more.
Townsfolk
You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.
Take a jacket if you go outside, dearie. And your thermos. And your scarf. I have a weak heart, you know. Whatever would I do if you caught cold...or worse?
"You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too." The Grandmother knows who their grandchild is, but if they are killed by the Demon, the Grandmother dies too. During the first night, the Grandmother learns their Grandchild—a good player who is a Townsfolk or Outsider. The Grandchild does not learn that they have a Grandmother. If the Demon kills the Grandchild, the Grandmother dies too. If the Grandchild dies by any other means—such as execution, or another type of death at night—the Grandmother does not also die.
Townsfolk
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.
Townsfolk
Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.
Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.
"Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die." The Gambler can guess who is who... but pays the ultimate price if they guess wrong. Each night except the first, the Gambler chooses a player and guesses their character by pointing to its icon on the character sheet. If the guess is correct, nothing happens. If the guess is incorrect, the Gambler dies. The Gambler does not learn from the Storyteller whether their guess is correct or incorrect. The Gambler may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself.
Townsfolk
Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil.
Beneath the thin veneer of civilisation lies a howling madness.
"Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil." The Lycanthrope roams at night, killing the innocent, whilst the Demon cowers indoors. The Lycanthrope must choose an alive player each night. If the Lycanthrope chooses a dead player, the Storyteller shakes their head no and prompts the Lycanthrope to choose a different player. If the player that the Lycanthrope chooses is good, that player dies, and the Demon cannot kill tonight. If the player the Lycanthrope attacks is evil, that player does not die, and the Demon may still kill tonight. If the Lycanthrope attacks a good player but that good player doesn’t die, the Demon may still kill tonight. While the Lycanthrope lives, one good player registers as evil. They cannot be killed by the Lycanthrope. This evil-registration does not effect win conditions. The good player that registers as evil still wins or loses with the good team.
Townsfolk
Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: if they are a Townsfolk, they are resurrected.
The process is simple. Attach the hydraulic confabulator to the modified chi matrix amplifier, add 20 CCs of pseudodorafine, keep his Z levels above 20%, and your husband will be fine. Now, all we need is a lightning strike.
"Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: if they are a Townsfolk, they are resurrected." The Professor can bring someone back from the dead. Once per game, the Professor can choose a dead player. If that player is a Townsfolk, they are resurrected, becoming alive again. If the Professor chooses an Outsider, Minion, or Demon, then nothing happens, and the Professor’s ability is gone. The resurrected player regains their ability, even a “once per game” ability they used already. Resurrected Townsfolk may or may not get to act on the night of their resurrection, depending on whether they would act before or after the Professor. If they had a “first night only” or “you start knowing” ability, they immediately wake to use it again, as soon as the Professor goes to sleep.
Townsfolk
Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die.
Die.
"Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die." The Slayer can kill the Demon by guessing who they are. The Slayer can choose to use their ability at any time during the day, and must declare to everyone when they're using it. If the Slayer chooses the Demon, the Demon dies immediately. Otherwise, nothing happens. The players do not learn the identity of the dead player. After all, it may have been the Recluse! A Slayer that uses their ability while poisoned or drunk may not use it again. The Slayer will want to choose an alive player. Even if the Slayer chooses a dead Imp, nothing happens, because a dead player can't die again. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player who's pretending to be the Slayer may pretend to use the Slayer ability.
Townsfolk
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.
Townsfolk
If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character.
My birds will avenge me! Fly! Fly, my sweet and dutiful pets! To the manor and to the river! To the alleys and to the salons! Fly!
"If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character." If the Ravenkeeper dies at night, they get to learn one player's character. The Ravenkeeper is woken on the night that they die, and chooses a player immediately. The Ravenkeeper may choose a dead player if they wish.
Townsfolk
If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.
Gorm do shúile, dearg do ghruaig, ní bheidh sé i bhfad, is a mbeidh tú san uaigh.
"If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.” The Banshee becomes more powerful when dead, nominating and voting twice as much. When alive, the Banshee nominates and votes as normal. When dead, they may nominate twice per day, even though dead players may normally not nominate at all. When dead, they may vote for any nomination they wish and do not need a vote token to do so. They may vote twice for the same nomination. The Banshee only gains these powers if they were killed by the Demon. Dying by execution or to a non-Demon ability does not count. To vote twice, the Banshee player raises both hands when votes are counted. If the player is unable to do this due to a disability, the Storyteller can count their normal vote twice.
Townsfolk
The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately.
I am pure. Let those who are without sin cast themselves down and suffer in my stead. My reputation shall not be stained with your venomous accusations.
"The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately." The Virgin may inadvertently execute their accuser, confirming which players are Townsfolk in the process. If a Townsfolk nominates the Virgin, then that Townsfolk is executed immediately. Because there can only be one execution per day, the nomination process immediately ends, even if a player was about to die. Only Townsfolk are executed due to the Virgin's ability. If an Outsider, Minion, or Demon nominates the Virgin, nothing happens, and voting continues. The Virgin's ability is powerful because if a Townsfolk nominates them and dies, then both characters are almost certainly Townsfolk. After being nominated for the first time, the Virgin loses their ability, even if the nominator did not die, and even if the Virgin was poisoned or drunk.
Townsfolk
Executed good players might not die.
Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
"Executed good players might not die." The Pacifist prevents good players from dying by execution. When a good player is executed, the Storyteller chooses whether they die or live. As always, when abilities like this function in obvious ways, the group is not told why something has happened, only what has happened. The group learns that an execution succeeded, but that the executed player did not die—that is all. If a player is executed and remains alive, that still counts as the execution for today. No other nominations may happen.
Outsider
You might die at any time.
I think I see the problem. Luckily, I have an idea! This catapult will shoot twice as far with just a minor adjustment...
"You might die at any time." The Tinker can die at any time, for no reason. The Storyteller may kill the Tinker at any time. The Tinker cannot die from their ability while protected from death, as normal.
Outsider
You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die.
Golem help? Golem smash! Golem help.
"You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die." The Golem kills the player they nominate. When the Golem nominates a player, that player immediately dies. The nomination process continues. If the Golem nominates the Demon, nothing happens. The Storyteller doesn’t confirm or deny that the Golem nominated, and continues with the voting process as normal. The Storyteller may say “nothing happens” if clarity is asked for. After the Golem has nominated once, whether or not the nominee dies, the Golem may not nominate again this game. It is the player’s responsibility to refrain from nominating, not the Storyteller’s. Deliberately nominating when they shouldn’t is considered cheating.
Outsider
When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses.
Oops.
"When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses." The Klutz might accidentally lose the game for their team, unless they are clever. When the Klutz dies, they must declare a player. They may take a few minutes to do so—after all, it’s a big decision, and other players may give advice on who to choose, but it is always the Klutz’s decision. If they choose an evil player, the game ends immediately and the good team loses. If they choose a good player, nothing happens and the game continues. It is not the Storyteller’s responsibility to prompt the Klutz to declare they are the Klutz and choose a player. The Klutz must do this shortly after they learn that they are dead. Deliberately not doing so is considered cheating.
Outsider
If there are 5 or more players alive, you must vote for every nomination.
I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
"If there are 5 or more players alive, you must vote for every nomination." The Zealot votes. If there are 5 or more players alive, the Zealot must vote for every nomination. If there are 4 or fewer players alive, the Zealot can choose whether they vote or not. Travellers count as alive players. The Zealot can vote like a normal dead player when dead. The Zealot does not need to vote for exiles. A Zealot must vote even if they think they might be drunk or poisoned. It is not the Storyteller's responsibility to monitor the Zealot. They're responsible for their own voting. Deliberately not voting when they should is considered cheating.
Minion
You start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]
Normally, it's just business. But when you insult my daughter, you insult me. And when you insult me, you insult my family. You really should be more careful - it would be a shame if you had an unfortunate accident.
"You start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]" The Godfather takes revenge when the town kills Outsiders. Whenever an Outsider is executed and dies, the Godfather chooses one player to die that night. The Godfather only kills if an Outsider dies during the day. Outsiders that die at night don’t count. If the Godfather is in play, this adds or removes one Outsider from play. At the start of the game, the Godfather learns which Outsiders are in play. If two Outsiders died today, the Godfather still only kills one player tonight.
Minion
Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability.
Three drops of goat's blood. A lock of hair, torn in anger. The name is spoken, the shadow cast. Walk left foot first down that brambled path, and don't look back.
"Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability." The Witch curses players, so that they die if they nominate. Each night, the Witch chooses a player to curse. That player dies if they nominate any player on the next day, although their nomination still counts. The Witch’s curse lasts only for one day, but the Witch may curse the same player again and again each night. As soon as just three players are left alive, the Witch’s curse is immediately removed, and the Witch acts no more.
Minion
Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not.
...
"Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not." The Assassin kills who the Demon cannot. Once per game at night, the Assassin can kill a player. This player dies, even if they are protected from death in any way, such as from an ability. The Assassin ability is affected by drunkenness and poisoning, as normal. If the Assassin attacks the Goon, the Goon dies and turns evil.
Minion
The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character’s ability. You both know which.
Stellar hydrogen, vast, inert; carbon, oxygen, neon gases, all ruined. Molecular chaos, entropy, yields new cosmic phenomena, rebirth from atomic chaos, dense matter collapsing. All in a teeny little bottle.
"The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character's ability. You both know which." The Boffin replicates a good ability. While the Boffin is alive, the Demon has a single Townsfolk ability or Outsider ability. If the Demon is drunk or poisoned, the Demon keeps this good ability. If the Boffin is drunk or poisoned, the Demon temporarily loses this good ability. If the Demon dies and has an ability that functions while dead, such as the Sweetheart, the Demon keeps this ability. If a new Demon is created, such as via a Scarlet Woman or a Barber, this new Demon has an ability from the Boffin. This ability may be different to the previous Demon's ability. If there are multiple Demons alive, only one alive Demon has an ability from the Boffin. If the Demon has an ability that modifies the setup, such as a Choirboy, these changes are made during setup, as normal. Both the Demon and the Boffin learn which good ability the Demon has. The Storyteller may wake these players independently, or together. The not-in-play character may be 1 of the Demon's 3 bluffs. The Demon also wakes at night at the time that the good character would normally wake.
Demon
Each night*, you may choose a player: they die. If your last choice was no-one, choose 3 players tonight.
Would you like a flower? I'm so lonely.
"Each night*, you may choose a player: they die. If your last choice was no-one, choose 3 players tonight." The Po can choose to attack nobody at night, but goes on a rampage the following night. The Po attacks one player per night, like many other Demons. However, if the Po chooses to attack nobody, then they may attack three players the following night. If the Po was drunk or poisoned when they chose nobody last night, they still choose three players tonight. A Po must choose three players when prompted to do so. They cannot choose no one again. The Po only gets three attacks if they chose nobody. The Po does not get three attacks if they chose to attack someone the previous night, but that player did not die. The Po doesn’t act on the first night, but this night does not count as a night where the Po “chose no one.” If the Exorcist selects the Po, the Po does not act, but this night does not count as a night where the Po “chose no one.” However, if the Po chose no one the night before the Exorcist chose the Po, the Po chooses three players the night after the Exorcist chose the Po, because their last choice was no one.
