Blabber makes statements about the game state.

Statements about anything else such as our physical world, about what real-world beings – such as the story teller or players – and objects do, decide or are, do not count as game-related statements. This rules out meta statements or recursive statements because the utterances of players are not a game state related thing.

Game-related Statements without an assignable definite answer "yes", will not count as "yes".

The Blabber fails at making statements about the actual state or properties of players when those players do not register as having this state or properties.

The truth depends on how the game state registers for the Blabber, not necessarily the actual truth. So, for the Blabber, the actual state and the (mis)registered state coincide.

The Faustian seals a pact with the devil that makes them accountable to replace 1 Demon choice with a guessed good player's or guessed character player's death, else with their own.

The Faustian must choose an alive player each night (not the first).

If the Demon chooses the Faustian when they try to use their ability, it counters the Faustian's control and the Demon choices are not affected by the Faustian.

The Faustian is allowed to also or only guess a good alignment for a player besides a character (but one of both must be guessed). When the guessed combination is correct (not wrong!), the guessed player – if they can die from the Demon tonight – replaces 1 Demon's choice. If it is incorrect, the Faustian must be chosen by the Demon.

The Demon knows who is choosen. The Story Teller points to the player and shows the Faustian as reason. The Demon uses their ability afterwards. The Story Teller decides which Demon choice is replaced with the Faustian's choice if the Faustian's choice can die from the Demon.

If the Faustian's replacement player could have died from the Demon ability but do not (i.e. they evaded the kill due to luck or skill), the replacement of the player choice remains final.

If the Faustian replaces 1 Demon choice, the Faustian also accounts for the replacement choice and the effects on it tonight. The forced choice doesn't register as the Demon's choice and if this choice kills, it doesn't register as a Demon kill towards Jinxes or abilities.

See accountability.

The Demon may only replace 1 choice with the Faustian's target, if the Demon ability allows choosing this target or if the target's ability allows being chosen by the Demon. Some characters (such as the Anarchist) may not be killed by the Demon or some Demon abilities (such as Riot or Leviathan) don't allow the same player to be chosen two times in succession. In this case, the Story Teller might ignore the Faustian effect tonight, and the Demon works normally.

The Faustian has no effect at a night where the Demon kills are fixed and not chosen by the Demon player or the Story Teller. If the Demon is drunk, the interaction still works, the Demon sees the Faustian's choice, but there will be no consequences of the choice.

The demon doesn't get feedback whether their guess of the Faustian is right tonight. The Demon can conclude that the Faustian is killed if the Faustian does not show up anymore at night.

If the Faustian has a Demon ability, the Faustian affects their own Demon ability automatically without having to wake up again. (If the Faustian guesses wrong, their own Demon ability chooses themself.)

Jinxes

Jinx Ojo/Tormon: If the Faustian uses their ability, the Demon cannot choose by character, only by player.

Jinx Twin Demon: The Faustian acts on both Twin Demons independently.

Jinx Maniac: The Faustian replaces 1 choice of the Maniac if it does not kill the Faustian target.

Jinx Balloonatic: If the Faustian's target coincides with the Balloonatic's choice, the Balloonatic will be drunk if the Faustian accounts for the Demon choosing this target. Otherwise, when the Demon accounts for it, the Balloonatic will not get drunk.

In another scenario, when the Balloonatic's choice is different from the Faustian's, if the Demon's only choice is replaced by the Faustian, then the Demon has to account for killing the Balloonatic's target.

The adulterator protects people from death by whipping them to hospital. A deranged player is dysinformed and dyseffective, see Deranged.

The Adulterator is somewhat like an Innkeeper+Sailor but differs in choosing players.

Different from the Innkeeper, the Adulterator may also choose themself.

The Adulterator may get themself deranged. In this case, a valid interpretation is to let the Adulterator (plus the other chosen player) die or disable any protection abilities for the chosen players tonight (for example disabling protection by a Devil's Advoctate, Pacifist, Tea Lady, Brute or Frustrator).

The effects of choosing oneself as the Adulterator can be interesting for drawing conclusions, in the light of metagaming. E.g. the Story Teller should not kill both players if the other player is the demon but may disable the protection so that other players can execute them the next day (to allow the good team to win).

The effects of the Adulterator should be balanced but benefitial for the Adulterator's alignment in case of doubt.

The story teller may choose to make the same person drunk AND deranged. In this case, drunkness or derangedness may take effect depending on which is worse for the alignment of the Adulterator.

The soulmate cedes their eternal soul to someone they harmonize with and trust deeply. The chosen person is their "vessel" whose death does not suppress their abilities and does not trigger effects or transitions of abilities.

The Soulmate ability is drunk for players who know the demon (e.g. being the Demon or having got minion info). It would be too unfair otherwise.

For consistency and balance, a player who uses the soulmate once will lose all abilities they have, even when they chose themself.

The Soulmate loses their abilities before their death follows immediately!

The soulmate's eternal soul overwrites effects that would be triggered at the death event of the vessel (such as losing their ability and triggering other abilities/characters like the Grandmother, Klutz or Saint). The effects of the death event are overwritten with getting the info of being chosen by the soulmate (usually only shown at night, but the story teller might also declare this at day, publically, at least if the vessel dies in the final day which does not end the game). Vessels can only learn to be chosen by the Soulmate with a real death event!

The eternal soul explicitly doesn't intervene into the dead state of players. Therefore, vessels still cannot nominate and only vote like a dead player.

On another note: people could argue that the ability-lessness is bound to the dead state (and is not triggered by the death event). In this case, the vessel state is defined to give a dead person the additional capability of holding and using (their most recent set of) abilities that they had before death.

In details: the death event (or state) makes any vessel player register as having no ability although they actually still have a character and their abilities. These abilities now are hidden from game rules in the dead state and from abilities of others.

The death does not hide or remove a player's character. Therefore the official Undertaker, Spy, Ravenskeeper or the Professor can still interact with dead players.

The demon kills before the soulmate chooses but the soulmate chooses before minions kill.

When you choose…

• the story teller, it has no effect to execute the story teller which means, you gonna lose in an atheist game

  special rule! Otherwise, the game ends by story teller execution. Death is never mentioned but we assume, the story teller has not died at night 1 in an atheist game and dies from the execution instead which causes the winning effect.

• a demon, the evil team will win unless the good team wins somehow before the end of the game (e.g. with Cult Leader or Story Teller execution + Heretic)

• a minion, the evil team gets an advantage

• an outsider, suppresses their death effect which is usually good but their remaining ability will be useless once they are dead

• a townsfolk, the good team gets an advantage, if you pick a strong one, your chances are good to win

• a dead, the dead regains their most recent set of abilities and can use them as long as the vessel state holds. The dead will directly learn that they were chosen by the soulmate. [This is like a professor that can resurrect any character but regarding voting and nominating, the vessel still behaves as dead.]

• yourself, you die and lose your ability and learn that you were chosen by Soulmate. (When your death event would have triggered or would trigger something later directly, it doesn't.) This confirms that you couldn't be poisoned or drunk. But, the vessel state is defect when you chose yourself (you cannot use abilities when dead like any other person).

The Soulmate's death – triggered by choosing someone – can be prevented by protection (and the Soulmate confirmation with it), e.g. with tea lady or innkeeper.

As the Soulmate, you can choose again if you were drunk, poisoned. You know of having been poisoned or made drunk if you didn't die from choosing and wake up again next night. If you had not been drunk while choosing, you would have no abilities now.

As the Soulmate, if your ability is refreshed by resurrection, you regain your ability with another choice (that exists in parallel to a former one). Being chosen as vessel does not concern the effect of resurrection, only the person's effects of dying until they change alignment.

Note that the chosen vessel can still be executed, exiled or can die and any effects triggered by only execution or exile are still triggered.

The eternal state is bound to people (or abilities), not characters. When the person changes character, they don't lose their eternal state. The eternal state is also not going away with a death. It holds for any number of deaths of the person.

The soulmate may choose the person at night, as they prefer. They will die doing so which is a way to prove being the soulmate. If they want, they can claim to be Soulmate and promise to choose someone, at day. Everybody can do that, but what you finally do at night is still your choice and therefore, the soulmate only dies at night after their choice.

Jinxes

Jinx Pit-Hag: Story Teller will select a good person to become the soulmate when Pit-Hag creates it.

The Poppy Snitch is a Poppy Grower and a Snitch. (This means, the Poppy Snitch counts both as a Poppy Grower and a Snitch.)

The idea is, Poppy Grower is potentially too socially revealing about evil people as they won't tell anything and cannot participate in the game. They get no info and won't get trusted easily. This is not fun. Especially in scripts which want to promote work of trust or making trust, the poppy grower (without Snitch) is counter productive. So whenever you need Poppy Grower in some way, use this character instead. It compensates the evil team with bluffs for not knowing their peers.

Jinxes

Jinx Spy: If the Poppy Snitch has their ability, the Spy does not see the Grimoire.

The Puzzledrunk thinks they are any other character and all abilities (including their own ability) misregister the Puzzledrunk player as that character, that type of character and its alignment.

At night 1, 1 good player is informed that the Puzzledrunk is in play. This good player could even be the Puzzledrunk themself. Once in the game, this player may guess the Puzzledrunk privately.

The Puzzledrunk always register as the character, character type and alignment of their initially seen character to every player's abilities. The Puzzledrunk does not misregister for the setup.

The player state and the drunkness of the ability are fully independent. Normally, the Puzzledrunk is sober and healthy but if they are not and are guessed, their info is made drunk or poisoned and the guess is wasted. (The info could show the real Demon if the guessing player guesses themself.)

Each player can guess once per game, whether they are the Puzzledrunk. They receive info at night (if they guessed publicly during nominations) or at day before nominations when they privately talk to the Story Teller. They only get feedback while alive when the info is given (before nominations when visiting the Story Teller or at night). Therefore, the Demon may kill them at night before they get info.

If the guess is right, the info doesn't need to be false but usually is.

The info given with a false guess should always be dangerous or detrimental to the good team.

Story Telling is best done by showing a different player to everyone who guesses themself as Puzzledrunk. If there are not enough alive players, point to a dead player. Then they know that they are not Puzzledrunk (except if there are multiple Demon players). If two players receive the same info, they both cannot be the Puzzledrunk. This is much more important than avoiding pointing at a Demon player at all costs.

If the Puzzledrunk counts as Outsider during the game, it allows for an explanation with the Fabled Sentinel. If the Puzzledrunk couns as Minion, other Minions will see the Puzzledrunk but the Puzzledrunk should get false Demon info and likely false Minion info.

The Puzzledrunk should actually never have an ability that only acts at their death or the game's end. It mainly concerns outsiders but also the Ravenkeeper or the Sage. Killing the actual Puzzledrunk should not impose any risks for the Demon.

The Puzzledrunk should not immitate Demon characters except if a Lunatic is also on the script. Even then, identifying a demonic Puzzledrunk that is not a Lunatic is probably easier.

The Puzzledrunk should not have an ability that is already in play, except if this ability can exist multiple times, e.g. with the official Loric Pope. If the actual player and the Puzzledrunk guess themself as consquence of a double claim, they get a 2 player selection for the demon (like the Sage). However, if there are multiple Demon players, reusing an in-play ability for the Puzzledrunk could be fine.

If the Puzzledrunk counts as Minion, the Demon and Minions see the Puzzledrunk as extra Minion. (Which is a special case of the Sectarian.)

If the Puzzledrunk immitates a Demon, the Demon knows the Demon ability of the Puzzledrunk and who the Puzzledrunk chooses at night (but not the player).

The Demon can use this info to hide the drunkness from the demonic Puzzledrunk.

The Puzzledrunk cannot immitate a Traveller except if the player is secretly a Traveller with Townsfolk ability. (What about the new Loric Hindu?)

In this case, everyone thinks, the player has a different Traveller character but in Truth the player is an Apprentice with Puzzledrunk character.

The normal Drunk character only immitates a townsfolk ability but the Puzzledrunk character is not limited to that.

Jinxes

Jinx Legion(atic): The Puzzledrunk is not a Legion(atic). When the sober+healthy Puzzledrunk guesses right, they learn a 3rd non-Legion player.

Jinx Trustmaker: The Trustmaker shows the Puzzledrunk player correctly as the Puzzledrunk.

Jinx Pandemon: When the sober+healthy Puzzledrunk guesses correctly, they learn the actual Pandemon player.

The Rationalist (or Gentleman) is a quite restricted version of the Atheist that allows for detection and clear reasoning.

Sometimes, the story teller could decide to misregister less than X players as evil minions/demons because of good players that normally are evil anyway (Bounty Hunter's evil townsfolk, Cult Leader or Ogre) or a Lunatic or a Puzzledrunk which allows someone to believe they are the demon.

An atheist game can have genuinely evil people and they do actually lose when all other good players win in an atheist game!!

If the story teller is multiple persons then they count as one person. The story teller may manipulate their own role or abilities or the ones of one player.

If one player is manipulated, any ability manipulations lose their effect when the player has no ability anymore (except if the manipulation is something else, e.g. a manipulated soulmate choice allowing them to continue playing with bad info).

If the story teller manipulates their own role or abilities, the manipulation goes through the entire game but no player abilities are manipulated. The important part here is, for a Rationalist game, you should plan your manipulation beforehand and the manipulation should obey consistent rules or mechanics that you don't reveal.

At the end of the game, explain the rules/mechanics that you added.

about minion signals

Minion signals are info or messages that would be sent by minion abilities and transfered via the story teller to other players or to the public. Seeing no minion signals ever would make it too easy to confirm the Atheist or the absence of the Plotter. Any of these signals can be fake, such as the Fearmonger, the Bully, the Evil Twin, even though the minion ability has no effect. These signals are only fake when the Atheist is in play.

The Psychic gets to see whose ability interacts with them in any way (pointed by the Story Teller, pointed by the player or obtaining information) if the Psychic's ability is not impaired at the end of the night.

if 2 players interacted with the Psychic, the Psychic must learn 2 correct players. If only 1 interacts with the Psychic, they additionally must learn 1 false positive. If no-one interacts with the Psychic, they learn no player.

The Psychic sees players also if they are drunk, poisoned or malfunctioning while using their ability. (If they could not see the drunk/poisoned players, they could easily spot their drunkness/poisoned state.)

The Sectarian believes to be a minion or demon (character) and behaves like a real evil character to other players, except that they are actually not one.

The Sectarian might replace a real evil character (recommended, if the modified ability is stronger than the original) or an additional evil player (allows the evil team to guess that a Sectarian exists and prevent detection, especially if the Sectarian is a 2nd demon).

The idea of the Sectarian is to let them exclude alternative explanations for why their ability does not behave like expected. With true knowledge of the game and all the game rules (and possibly a bit of luck) the Sectarian should be able to figure out that their minion ability is not possible and thus concludes that they are the Sectarian. This means, the game should be designed to allow the Sectarian to figure out being the Sectarian.

The Sectarian requires their ability to be strictly different from what the believed minion ability would effectively do. It could be a negation, it could be an actually good ability that the Sectarian doesn't realize at first, they could be like drunk, they could be similar to sick but different. It's essentially like an Amnesiac who might have any or not any ability at all except that it cannot be like the normal function of the believed minion ability.

The Sectarian continues to register as the same character when they die as when they are alive. (The alignment can differ however). If the Sectarian starts evil or became evil while alive, they still count as good to the winning rules as long as they live (independent of drunkness, poisonedness, etc.). When dead, they get their actual evil alignment next night and the Story Teller should explicitly show them to have got evil.

The ability

If the Sectarian is too easily revealed by explaining the rules correctly, then this is just the consequence of a suboptimally prepared game. As the Story Teller, you should take responsibility and explain the rules correctly, even if that means the Sectarian figures out their character. You don't have to emphasize or mention all the details. Just let them ask you (let them find the corrrect question) and you answer.

If the Sectarian can uncover their character by finding inconsistencies of their ability with the explanation of correct rules, then the Sectarian gets similar to a Phoenix Wright-like game.

The actual ability of the Sectarian might be similar and systematically and consistently modified or restricted (devised before the game starts) to allow for some illusion. Maybe it is a deranged version of the ability but which is always deranged, not only one night like due to the Instigator. Maybe it is drunk.

Jinxes

Jinx Punk: The Punk might have a drunk Sectarian ability. This is like a real Sectarian character (who may see false minions, a false demon etc.) but with the death effect of the Punk.

Jinx Legion : The Sectarian cannot be in play together with Legion.

Jinx Damsel: The Sectarian might learn that the Damsel is in play.

Jinx Drunk/Marionette: Abilities which think to be a good character cannot believe to be the Sectarian because the Sectarian character token cannot be handed to players. Handing a minion token to a Marionette or Drunk is illegal too. A Marionette must think to be a good character but a Sectarian makes the player think they are an evil character.

Jinx Pandemon:

• If Pandemon is in play, the Sectarian can only find out their character via foreign good ability that interacts specifically with Minions or good characters, such as:
  • Gambler/Faustian (guessing the Sectarian is corrrect)
  • Gossip/Blabber (statements about the Sectarian character)
  • Preacher (has no effect on the Sectarian)
  • Investigator (getting the Sectarian and an actual minion)
  • Town Crier (not detecting the Sectarian)
  • Damsel (the Sectarian does not know about them)
  • Minstrel (nobody is drunk when the Sectarian is executed.)
  • Snitch (the Sectarian doesn't get bluffs)
  • Clockmaker (the Clockmaker ignores the Sectarian)
  • The Dreamer (sees the Sectarian plus a minion)
  • Poppy Grower (does not affect the Sectarian but all other minions/demons)
  • Professor (can resurrect the Sectarian)
  • Lycanthrope (can directly kill the Sectarian)
  • Virgin (the Sectarian dies when nominating the Virgin)
  • Balloonist (the Sectarian is shown before or after a minion)
  • Ravenkeeper (sees the Sectarian)
  • Antifascist (seeing too few minions)
  • etc.

The Instigator turns players deranged in a semi-deterministic way.

See deranged state.

Neighbours include dead and alive players.

In the first night, players who wake up before the Instigator are not affected by the deranged effect. (Those should be evil character players.)

Optional Rules

Optional: Only the clockwise or counter-clockwise neighbour is deranged. The direction is fixed. (If the Instigator asks about it, the Story Teller must disclose whether the rule is used and whether an unknown fixed or arbitrary direction is used.)

The Antifascist knows their enemy but not the players.

The Antifascist only learns the number of players who register as being of Minion type. A player with Minion character who however does not register as being of Minion type (like the Clan Boss) will not be in the count.

Jinxes

Jinx Atheist: You learn the Atheist instead of the Demon character.

Jinx Summoner: You learn the Summoner instead of the Demon character.

Jinx Engineer: If the Engineer chooses a Demon at night 1 before you, you learn the Demon character that they chose. (Usually the normal behavior.)

Jinx Gilorax/Titan: You learn the Demon that the Gilorax/Titan chose at night 1.

Jinx Legion(atic): The number of Legion(atic) players should be decreased.

The Bodyguard causes the Demon to fear a good player, the VIP.

The Demon also knows the character that the VIP registers as. The Bodyguard only knows the player.

When a new player becomes a Demon, they learn the VIP player and their character as well.

The VIP may misregister as evil but must be actually good during the first night. (The Bodyguard bypasses misregistration.)

The VIP can be a Townsfolk (whose life is valuable for the good team) or an Outsider (whose death is advantageous for the evil team). The VIP must have a good character that the Demon wants to kill.

The VIP's actual (not a misregistered) character is made public when the story teller declares that a person is VIP and has died. All players should know that the VIP player has a specific character.

When the VIP dies, the Story Teller declares the character that dies. If the Townsqure with Life tokens is not used, the Story Teller might also declare which player has died. You don't have to play with the Townsquare.

The Biologist learns that a player has a character that is not listed in the Demon or Outsider section or not listed in the Minion or Townsfolk section of the script.

The Story Teller may allow the Biologist to choose themself.

The Biologist only gets info about the registered character of a player. It doesn't matter whether the character possibly registers both as Minion and Demon (like Legion). It only counts whether the registering character is NOT listed in the specified section on the script. The Legion therefore would count as "not Minion".

Instead of "not minion" or "not demon", the Biologist may get a "left" answer (if the analyzed player's character is in the left column of the script) or "right" answer (if it is in the right column of the script).

Non-script characters, travellers or players without character (impossible with official characters) can receive either of the possible answers.

Note, character ≠ ability. Players who lose their ability still keep their character. The character just enables an ability under certain rules (usually while alive).

The Necrophage discerns players who publicly or covertly misregister as dead or alive.

If a player misregisters regarding their life state, the Necrophage gets a "no". Otherwise they get a "yes".

If the player might register inconsistently/falsely, the Necrophage still learns a "no".

Misregistrations happen when the life state of a player is treated differently in different contexts at the same time.

The Logician sees connections between at least 2 players but doesn't know what it is.

The Logician sees only 1 player per night but will see different players over different nights.

The seen players have something in common that is game-state related. Figuring out what it is, should make the Logician's info very valuable.

The Kindergardener guesses who dies and if correct, prevents that more than 1 player dies the next night. The Kindergardener gets arbitrary info about players who did not die due to the Kindergardener's protection.

If the Kindergardener chooses a player who dies or died tonight or the next day, anyone who dies after the first dying player is protected from death.

See sick state. All players who are protected by the Kindergardener from dying get sick until next night. This means, they cannot nominate the next day and don't wake at night to use their ability (similar to being dead).

The Kindergardener gets also sick, if they saved someone from death.

Each night, the Kindergardener can EITHER choose 1 player OR get 1 (correct) info signal per protected player. The first case is only possible if the Kindergardener was not made sick by protected players. The 2nd case is only possible if the Kindergardener got sick from protected players.

The info signal of each protected player is arbitrary and chosen by the Story Teller but it is correct regarding the registration of the player. It could be the registered character, alignment, character type, the player or even a registered player state (such as drunkness or poisonedness). The signal is never a "yes" or "no" but a crisp signal or the pointing to something or someone. 1 signal is given for each protected player which may be a different kind of signal for each player who was protected tonight.

The Kindergardener protects any player who would die no matter for the cause. Thus, they might protect players from a good player's ability as well.

The Pastor requests the Story Teller each night to get a 1-dimensional info signal regarding a question about the players who where recently targeted by a kill attempt.

The Pastor gets 1 info signal concerning the game state of any player who was killed or whose death failed due to protection, tonight or the last day. The notion of death target includes players who died during the last day or who would have died without protection. This means, genuinely executed players (if the execution was not fake) always are in the circle of people that the Pastor is concerned about.

The info signal is strictly 1-dimensional. It can be any single hand signal (yes/no, good/evil, a number, …) or it can point to a player or something else (liking pointing to a character or character type). It may include any info about the player (such as name or gender), the game-related property or the game-related player state.

But no matter what, it can only be one single signal. If a player name is given as answer, nothing else can be given.

The Pastor doesn't know the concerned players and who is killed or protected when they ask for a signal.

The Pastor cannot request answers which are linked to info of possibly unconcerned other players. This happens when the Pastor asks about assumptions they make. Don't do that. Since the Pastor does not know which players are concerned, any info, such as player names, player characters or other players' states, may be indirectly linked to the answer and therefore cannot be used in the question.

Exception: the Pastor may include assumptions about alignment and character type when they ask a question about the killed or protected players.

The Story Teller is allowed to give an empty answer or a "maybe", if the player asks directly about a killed or protected player but via assumptions, in a way that the info is indirectly linked to possibly other players (which the Pastor cannot know). But it's usually better to treat such a question as invalid to allow them to ask another question.

If the Pastor asks for multiple signals, give them only one of the signals and ignore the rest.

The requested answer must be directly linked to the game state of only killed or protected players. Asking about accountable players or players who were not attacked, not protected or not killed, is invalid. If invalid, prompt them again to ask another question.

Persons who are not considered "players" (including the Story Teller) are treated as having no character type and no alignment (even if the Story Teller has a Minion ability due to the Plague Doctor) and therefore cannot be in the question or linked to the answer.

This is the alternative version of the Gargoyle. It preserves and introduces a Townsfolk character late in the game instead of killing a player.

A team has the majority, if they have more players registering as alive than the other team. Each majority condition triggers the Gargoyle only once per game. The Village Gargoyle dies only once from their ability and chooses another player only once per game.

The Townsfolk of the Gargoyle doesn't have to be a script character but it should be a character that everyone is familiar with or can look up easily. You should refuse Townsfolk characters that you think are too strong. The Townsfolk character must not be in play yet.

The Village Gargoyle starts being dead only after they got alignment and a Townsfolk character. They die publicly and might cause the Demon to have -1 kills the same night. The death only happens immediately at dawn, when the Gargoyle is part of the majority team.

When dead, the Gargoyle keeps their Townsfolk character (like having it as a public character, "foreground character"). They only revert back to registering as Gargoyle when they give their Townsfolk to someone else.

When dead, the Gargoyle player might have and use their Townsfolk ability while being dead until the character is given away. (Like always, a dead player cannot die.)

For beginners who don't know this character well, don't make the ability active for the dead Gargoyle player. This could confuse players who usually think that dead players cannot use abilities. Use this feature for advanced games.

Instead of killing, the Village Gargoyle chooses to give their Townsfolk character to someone. This happens instead of the Death Gargoyle's vivification, i.e. when the Gargoyle's team loses the majority, the Village Gargoyle chooses 1 player at night to give them their Townsfolk character. If a Demon is chosen, another alive player (not known by the Gargoyle) becomes the evil Demon and the chosen evil Demon gets the Townsfolk character.

If a dead player (good or evil) obtains the Townsfolk from the Village Gargoyle, they might be resurrected. (This extra rule is useful only to hide some demons who can resurrect players.)

The Village Gargoyle doesn't kill like a Death Gargoyle because the Village Gargoyle cannot revive from their ability when being dead.

The game doesn't usually end before night 2 (except with Slayer or Story Teller execution) but if it does, the Village Gargoyle wins with the good team.

If the Village Gargoyle resurrects, the once-per-game actions are regained. If the Village Gargoyle immediately dies upon resurrection, the resurrection+death don't need to be declared by the story teller. Nevertheless, getting the alignment and a Townsfolk character still happen at the same night of their resurrection.

Optional Rules

Optional: The Gargoyle might choose the not-in-play Townsfolk before the game, who they get when Demon-killed.

The Maniac is like a Lunatic with deranged Demon ability instead of drunk ability and who registers as being of Demon-type.

The Maniac thinks to be a Demon (they draw a Demon character at the start) and they actually have a Demon ability but whose effects on player states and info are negated. The Demon ability works and is played like any other Demon ability (it is not drunk or poisoned).

When the Demon ability would have killed a player, the Maniac should prevent 1 death for this player tonight or else resurrect the player.

When the Demon ability would have poisoned a player, the Maniac should prevent 1 source of poisoning to affect this player for the same duration.

Otherwise, if the Demon ability would have protected someone, they would be attacked to die.

The actual Demon gets to know the Demon character of your ability (also when it changes). They don't know who (which player) is the Maniac.

Players with additional Maniac ability think that they have their other (Townsfolk) ability from a Boffin or from something else (if on script), or they are shizophrenic. Schizophrenic players ALSO use their other ability at night when using the Demon ability without noticing it.

The Maniac might register as Demon towards the ending or winning conditions of the game. If they don't, the game ends when the real Demon has died while the Maniac is still alive. If they do, the game continues when they are alive when the real Demon has died.

Jinxes

Jinx Boffin: You get a Boffin ability if the Boffin is in play.

The Balloonatic learns character types of players who die due to the Demon in the same night, otherwise is drunk. They also choose a fallback player who is killed automatically (not by choice) by the Demon when the Demon's choices would not kill anyone.

Consider death accountability to decide whether the Demon has killed somebody. Some demons bypass accountability of their deaths. In this case, the Balloonatics kill happens additionally.

If the Balloonatic-chosen player is already dead when the Demon kills them, then the Demon does not account for their death and the Balloonatic is drunk tonight.

If the Balloonatic-chosen player is killed (because the Demon killed no-one else), the player does not count as being chosen by the Demon.

The Balloonatic always sees a list of at least 1 character type late in the night (even if no-one died). The Balloonatic does not get to know which players have which character type.

The Murderer extends the slayer by allowing for any killing condition to be chosen by the Story Teller.

On your first night, the Story Teller gives you an arbitrary game-related condition which requires you to act towards a player with certain state or player properties.

The Murderer has only 1 attempt per game to satisfy their condition (and regains 1 attempt when the character is resurrected or created anew). If an assassination of the target player AND the murderer is currently illegal (such as when protected by a living pope), the attempt is not wasted but ignored.

To make an attempt for satisfying the condition, the Murderer acts according to their condition towards 1 player. The attempt counts automatically. You can do this at night or at day. If the targeted player satisfies the given condition exactly at the time when the action is made, the chosen player or the Murderer is assassinated immediately (and not protected from death by any ability).

The kill condition usually involves to summon the Murderer ability (like the Slayer) at day or night and to publicly choose 1 target player with specific state or properties. It can also be the nomination of a player with specific properties such that the effect immediately is activated (like with a Golem or a Witch). Another possibility is to covertly choose a player (privately at day, or by waking at night).

If the Murderer summons their ability randomly at night and calls a name, the death is only declared at dawn like all other deaths.

Like the Slayer, if you make an attempt to satisfy the condition when your ability does not work correctly, is drunk or poisoned, you have wasted it.

The death caused by the Murderer does not count as execution. After the death, the game continues normally, except if an ending condition is satisfied.

If the kill happens after other night abilities who interact with dying or dead players, then those abilities don't react to your ability's assassination. They cannot use their ability again when the Murderer made their attempt too late at the night.

If the assassination happens at day, even after the execution, the Story Teller says that someone dies (if it happens). if the Murderer explicitly summons their character to make an attempt, the Story Teller should also declare when no-one dies (this only happens if the condition is not satisfied or if the ability does not work or may not be used on a specific player which does not waste an attempt).

When a new Murderer is created during the game, they might get a new (different) condition from the Murderer.

Jinxes

Jinx Punk: If the Murderer satisfies the condition by targeting the Punk, the Punk is assassinated.

The Muezzin breaks the rules to prevent that too many players of their team get drunk or poisoned.

The Muezzin affects the whole day or whole night and prevents that multiple players of the Muezzin's team get or are drunk or poisoned during each phase. (The purpose is that only 1 good ability can get drunk if the Muezzin is good.)

The Story Teller chooses which rule breaks (in order to help the disadvantaged team or otherwise the team of the Muezzin's alignment).

A virtue is to find the smallest change or breakage of rules that satisfies the limit of drunk or poisoned players.

If multiple players must get drunk or poisoned by rules, a rule breaks such that only 1 player can be poisoned or drunk. This might mean that drunkness or poisonedness has no effect on a player, or the ability of a player enforces the satisfication of a non-drunk or non-poisoned condition even if it usually could not.

The Muezzin ability can be drunk itself (e.g. when used for the Puzzledrunk or Legionatic). But, if the Muezzin ability is sober, the Muezzin player and their abilities cannot be drunk. The Muezzin and the ability may still be poisoned.

Jinxes

Jinx Acrobat: The Acrobat does not die if their chosen player does not get drunk or poisoned due to the Muezzin.

Jinx Drunk/Marionette/Lunatic/Puzzledrunk/Punk: The Muezzin allows for at most 2 different players of their team to be drunk or poisoned if the jinxed character has equal alignment.

The Patroness blesses a player tonight and the next day who has no outsider abilities.

The Patroness cannot choose dead players or themself. If they choose a player who has 1 or more outsider abilities, the protection doesn't work.

Outsider abilities are abilities of characters which would appear in the outsider section of any script. Outsider abilities (such as the Recluse or the Bipartisan) do not have to register their users as outsiders.

The Patroness acts before the Demon and the Demon learns who has been chosen by the Patroness. They should know this, because due to the blessing, the state of the blessed player cannot change to dead (except via assassination).

The Patroness protects a suitable player against state effects and property effects triggered by third persons.

The Patroness does not undo previously triggered effects and does not prevent that an already existing effect (such as being poisoned by a Minion for one cycle or possibly a good effect which suppresses a negative state) ends regularly for the blessed person.

The Patroness does not protect players from wishes or changes which are caused by their own actions or abilities.

Jinxes

Jinx Ojo: Demons who choose by character (like Ojo), do not learn that the Patroness is in play and who they choose.

The Smartypants combines the Washerwoman, Librarian, Investigator and possibly the Sage with Balloonist info.

Both seen players have one pair of different character types.

Note: some players may have multiple character types simultaneously such as the Samurai (where you can choose the type for each query) or an Anarchist (however who registers as the type of the querying player).

The Smartypants is not affected by misregistrations.

The Smartypants usually should not start knowing a Demon among players except if the evil team is very strong or the game has multiple players with Demon ability (Maniac, Twin Demon, Buddha or the official Legion) or if the Smartypants is drunk, poisoned or dysinformed.

The Smartypants does not know whether and how the seen player or ability is impaired by a state. The Smartypants also cannot distinguish seeing an ability from seeing a character.

The Smartypants usually sees correctly working abilities, i.e. abilities which are not drunk, and otherwise, they would see a player's character. The Smartypants sees the Drunk rather than the drunk Townsfolk ability of the Drunk player (but it is valid to show the drunk Townsfolk ability instead which the Smartypants cannot distinguish).

In few circumstances, seeing impaired abilities is more reasonable, e.g. seeing the deranged Demon ability of a Maniac.
