Yes.

The ST should probably not interrupt an active nomination, but calls for a cult can be run between nominations.

It would usually make sense to kill the Minion in that scenario, unless killing the Demon does not result in the immediate end of the game.

Yes.

Yes, alignment is not relevant; good Minions are affected in the same way as evil Minions if preached.

No, since that would confirm the drunkenness or poisoning.

Instead the ST should deceive them that their abilities are functioning normally, usually by giving false info and having mechanical abilities fail.

There is no real difference as they do the same thing.

Drunkenness and poisoining do not stack but it is still important to track both in case one ends before the other. They are sometimes even used interchangeably as "droisoned".

Who wakes first to kill is determined by the night order. If there is more than one of the same Demon then the ST chooses the order in which to wake them.

Yes.

Yes.

No, because getting bluffs in not due to the Demon's character ability, and so cannot be disabled by them being drunk or poisoned.

No, just they just learn who is on the evil team, not specific characters.

Yes.

Yes, each time a player dies they get a ghost vote token.

No.

In order to for a player to be put on the block, they must receive a majority of votes and the most votes for that day.

Sure, there is no rule against it.

Players can say whatever they want but with a few exceptions like not narrating what actions the ST does at night. But if a player wants to give someone advice what to do at night based on info that was known the previous day that is fine, or as a Minion lean over to their Demon and tell them who they should kill.

No.

Travellers do not count towards the player total needed for the info steps.

No, they just learn the Demon.

Yes.

Killing abilities can be targeted at any player, Travellers included. Successfully killing a Traveller results in their death, as with any player, and they are marked as dead in the Town Square and receive one vote for the rest of the game. But as a Traveller they are still free to leave the game at any point. Theoretically a call for their exile could still be made but there is little point in doing so as the only thing exile results in is death and they are already dead.

Yes.

Yes.

After a Traveller is exiled they count as being dead and are given one ghost vote.

Yes, any player can call for an exile.

Yes, but consider their impact carefully as not all Travellers work well outside of their home scripts.

Yes.

At any time during the day, though it seems reasonable to wait for players to be assembled in town rather than make them come back from private chats to run the call for exile.

Not at the same time. But should a Traveller leave the game and a second Traveller later join, they could have the same character.

Yes, they are treated the same as regular players.

Everyone knows what Traveller they are for as long as they are a Traveller.

Yes, after exile they have one dead vote like other dead players.

No

If at any time there are only two non-Travellers alive then evil's win condition is met, assuming that either they are the Twins or one of the two is the Demon.

No, as long as the Traveller is good. If the Traveller is exiled then the game ends.

Yes.

The votes for a nomination are immutable as soon as they are recorded by the ST.

The exiled Traveller's votes prior to their exile still count for that day. If a player is on the block then then number of votes needed for execution must still exceed however many votes were used on them to move it to someone else.

An exiled Traveller is still in the game, they are just dead, and they have one vote from the time they died, the same as any other dead player.

No, the Demon never learns the alignment of a Traveller. An evil Traveller, however, does learn who the Demon is, so they can go ahead and tell the Demon as much though the Demon may not believe them - they could just be good and fishing!

Yes, but Travellers in a Teensy is pretty unbalanced.

They are not really recommended for seven or less because at those numbers, the Traveller's ability/alignment may have too much of an impact balance-wise, and the game will be going pretty quickly anyway.

Yes. If they travel away, on the other hand, then they actually leave the game.

No. The ST removes their tokens and any ability they had or effects caused by them are gone, including anything "even when dead" related.

Yes.

Execution needs half the number of living players minimum, and Travellers are living players. For example, with one Traveller alive plus 12 other living players, at least seven votes are needed for a player to be executed.

Yes, if they are alive.

The ST would announce "player X is no longer the <Traveller>".

If the opposite happens, "player Y is now the <Traveller>" or similar is announced. If one is announced straight after the other then town might suspect the players swapped character. The Grimoire is updated with a Traveller token or a regular token accordingly.

Yes, then it is dusk then the night phase.

Best practice is to just make a ruling and stick with it and worry about checking it after if an answer cannot be found quickly.

By pointing to the character on the character sheet.

Night deaths may be announced in any order.

The ST can neither confirm or deny these kinds of things, and that is how they should respond. The town must decide if they believe the Minion's claim and their info or not.

Most likely. But if unsure the ST can ask them if any would like to nominate, though the evil Townsfolk will likely decline anyway.

Their token is turned upside down in the Grimoire.

No. Their are only ever announcements regarding changes in living status, either alive to dead or dead to alive. If a player goes to sleep and wakes up with the same living status, nothing is announced.

Yes, that is the maximum player count which is not played often: 15 residents and 5 Travellers.

Anyone can say anything at any time including the dead.

Nothing.

The ST only announces visible changes to a player's life/death status. So if Town went to sleep with a player alive, and that player is alive in the morning, Town does not learn anything.

However, if the player has a start knowing ability or a trigger on death ability, then it would activate again, so they would probably figure out what happened.

Yes. As a fresh instance of the ability they can gain info that night, but only after drunking, poisoning and killing roles act.

Evil wins.

Yes, evil's win condition is that two, or fewer, players are alive so evil instantly wins.

No, because certain examples of this can cause issues if run one way, and others cause issues if run the other way. The ST should use their best judgement to choose the order that is least likely to cause a severe disruption to the game state.

Put all the Outsiders in play and ignore the additional modifiers.

Yes.

Additional Outsiders are added on top of the base number of Outsiders, from zero to two depending on the player count, replacing Townsfolk characters.

They are no longer applied.

During the time that a player is drunk or poisoned, any effect that they are causing, including any protection, drunkenness or poisoning, is no longer applied. The ST can indicate this by turning that player's reminder tokens upside-down in the meantime.

The game supports up to 20 players, but only 15 players as non-Travellers using characters from the script. Past 15 players, any additional players must be Travellers.

If anyone in the group knows how to ST two smaller games might be preferable.

When they are announced by the ST

The square is theoretically managed by the town, so any night deaths or revivals can be accounted for when they are announced in the morning by the ST, whilst any day time deaths can be accounted for straight after they happen.

No.

No.

The drunk or poisoned Acrobat cannot die to their own ability, regardless of who they pick.

The Alchemist is allowed to duplicate an in play Minion ability.

A dead player who chooses live will instantly come back to life, and, as long as one of the other picks chose to die, will still be alive at the start of the next day, unless some other ability kills them off.

Yes, they are announced publicly.

The ST will announce, "The Al-Hadikhia has chosen X" then wake X for their choice of live or die. Then they do the same for the next two players chosen. So the first player chosen will not know who has been chosen second or third, and the second player chosen will not know who has been chosen third. But all players do learn.

The ST should remind players to be silent during this process, so that the only thing players will be hearing during this time, in terms of the game anyway, is the ST making the announcements.

No.

After waking the third player and taking their choice, if all three players are alive, all three die. Since one of the players is dead, the other two do not die.

No, their guess must be fully correct with no non-Minions or Demons guessed within it.

There is no effect.

The Alsaahir must only correctly guess all Demons as Demons and all Minions as Minions.

The Alsaahir must guess exactly the Demons and the Minions. Any additional players means that the guess is incorrect.

ST choice.

The ST could facilitate the action or respond that they do not have the ability to do that.

Their ability is always working. Technically they could have an ability that does not do anything unless or until the Amne guesses their ability fully but that is unlikely to be fun.

RAW the ST should use the standard four point scale: cold, warm, hot and bingo.

While the standard scale is recommended, the ST is free to choose how to present the info. Intermediate points (cool, lukewarm, very hot, ...) can be added or they could even use a scale of 1 to 100 instead.

The ST should explain what scale they use to the Amnesiac or anyone bluffing Amnesiac.

She will get the ability of a Townsfolk (if good) or a Minion (if evil).

Everyone will know that the player is a Traveller and that they are the Apprentice, but will not know her alignment or what ability she has, otherwise an evil Apprentice would just get instantly exiled.

No, travelling out of the game completely removes the player and their ability from the game.

Yes. The Artist can ask any question as long as it can be answered yes or no.

Nothing.

A dead player cannot die again as they are already dead, and the Assassin's ability is specifically about bypassing protection, not that a player dies no matter what.

No, in an Atheist game the ST can break all rules and turn people evil. However, this is usually not fun for the players and not advised; keep all players good and give fake information that they need to "solve" as intended.

If the Atheist was drunk and there is no Demon in play then good would already have won. If there is a Demon in play then evil would win.

Although, if there is no evil team usually the ST will break the rules to keep the Atheist sober and not end the game by them being drunk.

Atheist "can" questions are almost certainly answerable with a "yes." Whether the ST should or not is debatable. So technically the ST can break the rules to do that, but probably should not.

Much like the nomination of a player.

When the Atheist is on the script, any living player can nominate the ST and in order for the ST to be executed, a majority of living players must vote for it.

The ST, if they want one, gets a defence, which could be as humourous or serious as they want, or they might just claim that the nominating player is evil. Simply saying "go ahead, lose the game" is also an option.

No.

Executing the ST is only allowed when the Atheist is on the script, otherwise even nominating the ST is not allowed.

The nature of an Atheist game is that the ST can break any rule. The only thing not allowed are any evil characters.

ST decision.

With the Atheist in play, the ST can break the rules, so it is up to the ST whether the good team would win by killing the Demon or whether they must execute the ST. Everyting is technically legal in an Atheist game and most Atheist questions are more a matter of would something be fun or not, but the most reasonable option is to let the good team win if the Demon dies.

The answer to anything in an Atheist game is "Yes, but is this a good idea?"

Though making actual mistakes is a good way to communicate that it is an Atheist game.

Yes, a preached Minion is still a Minion and can be seen as such by the Balloonist.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

The Balloonist must always learn a player, even if it means learning the same player again.

Yes.

In the night when the Demon kills them.

With no functioning Banshee ability, a player cannot nominate while dead and if they vote will spend their only ghost vote.

While the Banshee is not informed that their ability is not functioning, they will deduce that they must be drunk or poisoned when:

• they attempt to nominate a player and are informed that they cannot nominate because they are dead;
• they vote on a nomination and their only ghost vote is taken away.

Once the Banshee is sober and healthy their ability functions as normal.

They do not gain their ability, they are not announceced and, just like a regular dead player, they cannot nominate and have one ghost vote for the rest of the game.

The Banshee activation is not about being dead, it is about being killed. As they were drunk or poisoned at the time of their death, their ability does not activate.

This is in contract to how activated Banshee becoming drunk or poisoned is run: they lose their ghost vote if they vote and cannot nominate, but they do get their votes and nominations back when they become sober and healthy.

No.

Barber swaps do not change alignment, only character.

Yes.

"The Demon" may be a dead Demon when there are no alive Demons, so a dead Demon makes the swap, which they can use to create a living Demon but only by swapping themself with another living player; they cannot revive another dead Demon as the Barber ability forbids choosing another Demon.

Yes, although some STs run the swap at the Barber's spot in the night order.

It is meant to be run as a trigger ability, the trigger being the Barber's death, meaning it should happen straight after the Barber dies during the night, or at the start of the night if the Barber died during the day.

It is the ST's choice how they prefer to run the Barber swap, which they should clarify with their players when asked as this might matter if the Demon swaps players in the middle of the night!

Yes, which can then be repeated as many times as the Demon wished, but this is a risky strategy as it typically confirms good players with one another.

No.

Yes.

Only if they would have otherwise been drunk or poisoned.

Yes. That player would then be informed of the Barista choice so they would know for a fact they are sober and healthy, which is still pretty helpful, but not for start knowing roles where being sober and healthy now does not help them at all.

Not a Barista 1 (sober + healthy + true), but a Barista 2 (ability works twice) could give them info again as their first night ability will work on a night other than the first.

Yes.

The Beggar is privately told the giver's alignment and nothing else.

No.

But they do get one when they die as being dead they lose their ability and no longer need to get other players' vote tokens.

No, unless the other player is the Beggar whose ability makes use of other players' vote tokens.

They are gone from the game.

The exiled Beggar, now that they are dead, has one vote for the rest of the game.

Technically, no, but it must occur during the day, and town will notice when a player has lost their vote token so it is not exactly something that can be faked.

No.

The Demon temporarily loses access to their good character ability. If they would be woken at night to use this ability they are instead not woken, as it is the Boffin's ability that causes the Demon to wake.

Yes.

Yes.

And as a new instance of the ability, they get a new use of their ability after their resurrection.

Tonight the Sailor picks another player and either the Sailor or their pick is drunk until the following dusk. However, no matter who is made drunk the Sailor cannot die because the dead cannot die again.

Yes, unless there is a reason for the game to continue:

• the Twins are both alive;
• there is another living Demon.

Yes.

The Vigor is treated as a fresh instance so anything they did while alive is ignored; any Minions they previously killed do not regain their ability and poisoning does not resume, so unless they kill a Minion tonight nothing of note happens.

It is a once per game ability.

No. But they can probably infer this when their ability works again.

Yes.

The Bone Collector chooses a dead player who gets to use their ability. Any "you start knowing", "on your first day" and once per game abilities can be used again, even if they had already been used, until dusk falls.

No one dies and the game goes to night and evil will probably win when the Demon kills.

No. Two players alive is the evil team's win condition, so the game ends and evil wins.

All players, regardless of living status.

They remain evil, as they were turned on setup and their alignment being evil is not an ongoing effect and not linked to their character.

No, nor does the evil Townsfolk learn the Minions or the Demon.

Yes, but this is not recommended.

The Bounty Hunter can keep learning evil players as long as the players they are shown keep dying.

Yes.

The BH can learn any evil player regardless of living status. However, the BH only learns new players when the previously shown player dies, and since dead players cannot die the BH who learns a dead player is unlikely to learn any other players this game.

No.

An exile is unaffected by the Bureaucrat's ability, so the player with the tripled vote can only support an exile once.

Yes, after the first execution.

No, Travellers cannot be executed, not even with the Butcher's ability.

Nothing as this is the Butler playing as normal. Their vote still counts and there are no consequences.

The Butler is allowed to vote if their master voted or has their hand up to vote. It is sometimes advantageous for the Butler to pick someone clockwise from them for this reason.

Mechanically, nothing. Their vote is still counted, otherwise the total will be less than it should be, automatically hard confirming the Butler, which is unfair for the evil team. Also, mistakes happen, just play on for now.

Later, the ST should speak with them privately and remind them of the constraints of their ability, and let them know that it is considered cheating to purposefully vote without their master. Generally this is enough to keep a player paying more attention, because most people are not playing this game in bad faith nor looking to cheat.

It is also irrelevant if they knew, suspected or were totally unaware that they were drunk or poisoned when they voted. They should not attempt to vote without their master to test for drunkenness or poisoning, as their ability is a social contract that they must always abide by as they have no way of knowing if their ability is functioning or not.

If they keep doing it though, then it should be dealt with however the group deals with cheating: ending the game early, letting it finish but talking about it after, not inviting that person back, etc. There is no prescriptive option for what to do with someone who is cheating, as that is a social issue for the group to handle.

No.

Mechanically there is no way for the ST to not count their vote. Besides, a vote from the actual Butler voting without their master would still be counted, since not counting it would confirm the Butler which is unfair to evil.

No, the game ends.

The Cannibal with a Demon ability still is not a Demon, so with no Demon alive, the game would end. If the game could somehow continue, the Cannibal could have some fun using the ability of the Demon they just lunched on ...

Yes, except when they eat "you start knowing" characters in which case the Cannibal is woken after killers and droisoners act.

While they are drunk or poisoned, the ST can deceive the Cannibal about what ability they have gained and any info they receive. When they become sober and healthy then, as the Cannibal's ability is a constant check, they immediately gain the ability of the most recent executee.

No.

Yes, they have a sober and healthy instance of the ability.

The Cannibal does not care whether the most recent executee is drunk or poisoned or even about their character type, only their alignment matters:

• if they are good, the Cannibal has a sober and healthy instance of their ability;
• if they are evil, the Cannibal is poisoned and the ST will likely deceive them.

Often it does lead to execution because of its use as code for "I am not actually this role".

But a player claiming to be Cerenovus mad as their role is fine if the player is making a sincere effort to convince other players that that is what happened; this is fulfilling madness.

The madness due to the Cerenovus ability is in effect until the end of the following night, so once that time has passed, their target cannot be executed for breaking madness because it no longer applies to them.

This does mean that after the Cerenovus picks a new madness target, the previous player could still be executed for breaking madness before the end of the night phase, but most STs would not do this as night executions usually make little sense.

Yes! They can even break madness to get themself executed, but if they intentionally break madness in final three it is best not to execute otherwise the ST is giving evil an easy win.

Yes, but it is probably best not to if it is final three so as not be too harmful to the good team.

Yes.

Executions can occur at night and it is a legal way to punish good sometimes. But as they are already dead, this will cause them to simply die, or well, nothing will happen. It might be best for the ST to not execute them to confirm nothing.

Not inherently, but madness is really subjective and context dependent.

Yes, executing a dead player still ends the day.

Yes.

Probably not, unless they are trying to subtly hint that they are mad today.

For all of tomorrow and the next night.

Yes.

The ST will announce "<player> is executed" but not whether they die or not. If they did die then this announced the following dawn along with any other deaths.

Yes. That will reveal to the Chambermaid one of their picks died, but the death is declared in the morning before anyone else should be talking so it does not matter.

Technically they can, but since a drunk or poisoned player should be deceived that their ability is functioning normally they should not.

Yes. That player woke to an ability that they had at some point that night.

No.

The game defines 'the Demon' to be a living Demon, so in a game with living and dead Demons, the Choirboy must be shown a living Demon.

Yes, as the Clockmaker counts "the number of seated players".

All living Demons count as "the Demon" and the Clockmaker specifically checks for the smallest number of steps between one of these and their nearest Minion.

Yes.

Unless otherwise stated, players lose their ability on death, so any drunkenness caused by the Courtier ends when she dies meaning her target is now sober.

No.

The Courtier makes a player drunk with the character that they pick from the character sheet, and as no player can be assigned a Fabled character, only those listed on the character sheet, the Courtier is unable to make a Fabled character drunk.

No.

The Courtier makes a player drunk with the character that they pick from the character sheet, and Travellers are not listed on the character sheet, so the Courtier is unable to make a Traveller drunk.

No. The Cult Leader does not know who the Demon is for sure and could possibly still accidentally nominate the Demon and lose.

No, only once per day.

The CL's alignment cannot change nor can they win by forming a cult.

The ST is strongly advised against deceiving the CL with a fake alignment change.

Yes.

All good players, regardless of living status, must join.

Yes, so

Yes.

Each instance of the Damsel ability that enters play has its own guess, even if a guess was used previously, with or without an instance of the Damsel in play.

The ST is advised to ignore any forced statements.

No. The Minions collectively get one guess.

Yes, a Minion with no ability is still a Minion.

No.

The Damsel must be alive in order to trigger their loss condition; once they are dead they have no ability so being guessed correctly can no longer cause their team to lose.

Conversely, a dead Minion is free to guess the living Damsel; although dead they are still a Minion which is the only requirement for triggering the Damsel's loss condition.

No, the game continues and the guess is used up, similar to how other once per game abilities are spent when used while drunk or poisoned.

If the Damsel is in play from the start then N1, during the Minion info step. If the Damsel is created mid game then the Minions are informed after the Damsel is created.

Yes, regardless of their alignment, assuming the Damsel is alive, sober and healthy.

Yes.

No. Players who know something do not relearn it, even when the ability leaves and reenters play. Only any Minion who was previously aware of the Damsel is informed.

Almost certainly.

If a player doomsays when they are the only player of their alignment left, they die. If the last living good player dies then the game is usually over, unless there is a reason to continue.

Yes.

No, only living players.

Nothing.

Any drunk or poisoned player is deceived that their ability is still working. The Drunk's ability is that they believe that they are a Townsfolk, so they just get treated like the Townsfolk they think they are.

An Outsider can be drunk but they cannot be the Drunk, as the Drunk must believe that they are a Townsfolk.

Yes, since only one of the abilities in the hate jinx is really in play this is allowed. But the ST must remember to make one of the hate jinxed pair the Drunk; another character is not allowed to be the Drunk otherwise the result is an illegal setup.

No.

Yes. Each day, three players may visit the Duchess and a Traveller is a player.

Yes, anyone may visit the Duchess.

No.

No, the Empath only learns their living neighbours at their turn in the night order.

Nothing.

The character stays as the same player and neither the Engineer, whose once per game ability is now used, nor the unaffected Minion learns this.

Only if they ever misregistered to the ET as evil.

The Recluse is able to register as different things to different characters independently. So the ST could misregister them to good abilities but register them normally to the ET so never trigger the Twin change.

No.

Although no win conditions have been met, the ST would usually end the game if only the Demon and the Twins are left alive, as it is impossible for good to win at this point.

Should town elect to execute:

1. the Good Twin - the evil team wins via the Evil Twin's win condition;
2. the Evil Twin - the evil team wins because of only two living players left alive including the Demon;
3. the Demon - the evil team wins because of only two living players left alive.

Evil does not explicitly require the Demon to survive to final two to win. They just usually do, since good wins if there are no alive Demons. But the Evil Twin specifically prevents good from winning so long as both the Twins are alive. So even if the Demon is executed in final three then, despite the Demon being dead, as only two players left alive is evil's win condition, evil wins.

This is why it is important for the town to resolve the Twin issue before final three.

Should the Evil Twin be drunk then the good team can win by killing the Demon so the game will continue.

Evil wins.

Although the good team's win condition of no living Demons has been fulfilled, the Evil Twin's ability means that good cannot win while both of the Twins are alive.

Meanwhile the evil team has also met their win condition which is only two players left alive. Normally the final two would have to include the Demon for an evil win, but the Twins is an example of when this does not have to be the case. With nothing blocking the evil team's win, evil has won.

No, the Good Twin was executed while the ET ability was malfunctioning and it does not trigger retroactively. However, re-executing the Good Twin would trigger the regained ET ability.

The ET is deceived as to their ability working, so they can be told an arbitrary player and a character. The actual Good Twin learns nothing, since their being informed is part of the ET's ability. When the ET is sober and healthy, if they learned incorrect info then they will learn the real info, and the Good Twin will learn the ET. While the ET is droisoned, executing the Good Twin does nothing.

In SnV where the droisoned ET is rare, and impossible N1, STs will often wake the Twins together, and have them make eye contact. But on custom scripts where there is a chance of a droisoned ET it is best practice to wake the Twins separately, else the ET could be tipped off.

Evil wins.

The Evil Twin's ability just requires that the Good Twin is executed; the Good Twin does not need to die to the execution. So surviving due to protection or being a corpse that cannot die is immaterial; the ET's win condition is triggered.

No, they are still twins with the dead, good Twin.

The Evil Twin only ever learns a new twin if the Good Twin becomes evil. The Good Twin is allowed to be dead.

If the Fang Gu kills an Outsider without a jump being possible, the Outsider just dies and does not wake. If the Fang Gu jumps, the Outsider is woken and informed of their new alignment and character.

No, as the jump never happened.

Nothing.

Regardless of whether the once per game jump has happened or not, no jump is possible since in order for a jump to be triggered the attacked Outsider must be able to die and a dead player cannot die.

Yes.

If the global once per game Fang Gu jump has yet to happen then the first time the good Fang Gu attacks an Outsider and both are able to die, the good Fang Gu dies and their ability turns the Outsider into an evil Fang Gu, not one of the same alignment.

The Farmer just dies without converting another player into a Farmer, and the game continues if possible.

Yes, it is part of the Farmer's ability.

As soon as they are dead, assuming the death occurred at night.

The Fearmonger's team loses.

No, they are dead and have no ability so the fear immediately goes away, they cannot switch it to another player, and being dead cannot nominate anyway.

The game does not end should the Fearmonger manage to nominate and get their target executed. Additionally, if they try to change their target, the ST leaves the reminder token on the current player and no new notification goes out, which will likely alert the Fearmonger that something is wrong.

Yes.

No, absolutely not as this would convery too much info to town.

However, if the ST believes that the game will not last another day then, if they were planning on doing so, today is the day to use the Ferryman.

The ST can use the Fiddler, a Fabled character. At night, the ST wakes the Demon who must choose one good player. The next day, the town votes between the two on who should win. Everyone can vote, it uses no ghost votes, abilities cannot affect this vote, etc.

The Flowergirl is a backwards-checking ability. During the previous day, if the Demon voted, the Flowergirl's 'Demon voted' reminder token is placed in the Grimoire. Then that night, as long as they are sober, healthy and alive at their turn in the night order, the Flowergirl will correctly learn if the reminder token was placed in the Grimoire. If however tonight they are drunk or poisoned at their turn in the night order then they learn arbitrary info.

Yes.

No, they stay dead.

No, they will be unaware that their ability has been spent.

Yes, they are still a Demon and the FT ability does not specify living Demon.

During setup, before any players wake.

Yes, if they were present at the start of the game and are good. However, if they were to travel away then a new Red Herring would have to be allocated.

The Fortune Teller is allowed to pick Travellers with their ability, so any Traveller that travelled in after the start of the game is unlikely to be the Red Herring, which the FT can exploit to single check players.

They die at their turn in the night order. Generally deaths are immediate, just only announced at dawn, assuming they are still dead then.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

Yes.

It is something that can happen at anytime but an ST in that moment would probably do things in an order they think is sensible and fair as the Gangster has to announce they are using their ability.

ST decision, as there is no defined order of operations, although it would probably be fairer to honour the Gangster's declaration first by asking their neighbours for their consent and then resolving the call for exile.

RAW they are run as a three star General: the ST wakes them and shows their thumb in one of three positions, up, down, or sideways, to indicate if they feel the evil team is winning, losing, or tying the game.

The term five star General is used when an ST modifies the info to be slightly winning / losing. The ST is free to run the General how they wish but they should make it clear to their players how they run it.

The ST wakes them and shakes their head to indicate a no. A zero would also work but that's not RAW.

Yes.

No, as the Godfather's ability requires an Outsider to die, and dead players cannot die.

No, they can only die by execution, and a Golem nomination is not an execution.

Yes, every time.

When the Goon changes alignment, they wake straight after the player who triggered them to learn this.

Yes.

Nothing, since that player is not the first player to pick the Goon with their ability tonight.

Yes. The ST might prompt the player to specify if they intend it to be an exclusive or, i.e. exactly one thing is true.

Yes, but this is not recommended since the idea is that the extra kill tells the Gossip something. Most of the time the Gossip should be used to kill a player, who need not always be an expected player, as long as it is fair and interesting.

The Gossip is a backwards-checking ability. During the previous day, even if they were drunk or poisoned, if the Gossip made a correct statement, the ST would have placed the Gossip's dead reminder in the Grimoire. Then that night, as long as they are sober, healthy and alive at their turn in the night order, the Gossip kill goes through. If however they are drunk or poisoned tonight then there is no kill.

No, the dead Gossip has no ability.

In order for the Gossip ability to kill tonight, the Gossip, as well as having made a correct gossip yesterday, needs to be alive, sober and healthy at their position in the night order.

Yes.

The only restriction on the grandchild is that they are a good player. Showing a dead good player is allowed and doing so protects the Grandmother from being able to trigger their own death.

No.

The Grandmother is only triggered once, at the moment the grandchild dies to the Demon. If the Grandmother cannot die for any reason then they are safe from their own ability trying to kill themself for the rest of the game.

The ST still marks a player as the grandchild, who can be evil, and then shows the Grandmother either that player or a different player, who again can be evil, and any character token for that player. If the marked grandchild dies to the Demon then the sober and healthy Grandmother will die, no matter if that was not who she saw.

While there is a lot of scope for causing confusion, a more conservative ST might just mark a good player as standard and show them to the Grandmother but with the wrong character token.

Yes.

Yes, but don't.

When an ability does not specify that it must be another player then a character's ability can be applied to themself. So RAW the Grandmother can see themself, but the ST would have to have a really good reason to do this as it is unlikely to be fun.

Immediately after the grandchild dies.

The Grandmother's spot in the night order is just a reminder to the ST to kill the Grandmother if the grandchild died.

Then they cannot kill anyone.

A tally of zero votes during the first vote still means that there was a vote, so the Gunslinger does not get to wait to another vote where votes are actually cast.

No, supporting an exile is not a vote, and calling for exile is not a nomination.

Yes. Then if they deny themself, no one dies. The evil Harlot might pick themself, say no, then throw suspicion on another player by claiming that they refused to reveal.

Yes.

No. The Harlot only starts acting after N2.

No.

If the first pick is insufficiently mad then if the ST wishes to kill with the Harpy's ability it must happen while the Harpy is still alive. If the Harpy dies before the madness break is punished then their picks cannot die to their ability.

ST decision.

The order of deaths due to the Harpy ability is up to the ST. This is usually only important if one of the targets is protecting the other.

Yes, as long as they try to convince everyone that player B is evil.

Since madness is inherently subjective it would be best for the player to check with their ST if unsure.

The last player's choice is denied; they have to become a Demon.

Yes.

Yes, they become the drunk / poisoned role that they chose, as the change is due to the Hatter's ability, not their own.

The order is whatever the ST decides.

Whether the evils wake together or separately is up to the ST, but living evils should probably choose before dead. If the evils are woken together the ST could allow whoever wants to change first to do so.

If the Heretic, regardless of living status, is drunk or poisoned when the game ends, then her ability does not function so the win conditions are not reversed.

No. The game would end instantly as the Demon dies; nothing would happen later in the night. The Heretic would have to be drunk or poisoned before the Demon dies.

Yes.

No, they can be shown dead players too.

Anyone.

No, only the new Imp. The other evils are not notified, but they will know that it happened since their Demon died.

No, an Imp must kill themself in order to trigger the jump.

The "you" in an ability refers to that ability instance, not a generalised version of that ability.

Yes. The ST now must decide if this causes the Innkeeper to be drunk, switching off the protection. If they are drunk, then neither they or their chosen target are protected. If their other pick is instead drunk then both cannot die tonight.

The targets are safe for tonight only. However one of the targets is drunk for tonight and the next day.

Yes.

Yes, a preached Minion is still a Minion and can be investigated.

Yes, and often they absolutely should.

Yes, an exile is not a nomination. However, some STs disallow abilities to be used while votes / raised hands are being tallied.

No.

For example, the Juggler cannot juggle one player as one character twice, and another player as a different character three times, in an attempt to narrow down their info.

Only if they are drunk or poisoned at night.

As a backwards-checking ability what matters is whether they are drunk or poisoned at the time they receive info from the ST. During their first day any correct juggles are marked in the Grimoire, regardless of drunkenness and poisoning. That night, if they are sober and healthy they get correctly learn the number of correct reminder tokens in the Grimoire. Otherwise the ST can deceive them with any number.

No, they are dead and have no ability.

Yes, but that might be considered nerfing the power of the Kazali.

It works as a wild card so that no matter what Minions the Kazali creates, and what number of Outsiders or Townsfolk are replaced, the result will always be a valid setup.

If the Kazali chose an Outsider, then their setup was [-1 Outsider]. If an extra Outsider was added to the base count but then the Kazali chose none, their setup was [+1 Outsider].

The players have to keep that in mind when the Outsider count is not aligning with what should be in play.

Yes.

The Minions do not need be replaced by Townsfolk. As many Outsiders as the ST wishes can be placed in the bag, even replacing Townsfolk beyond the regular Minion count, although the ST should be careful to not add too many Outsiders.

No.

The Kazali's [-? to +? Outsiders] ensures that after the Kazali makes their picks, any number of Outsiders in the game is a legal setup.

Yes, but then they must keep picking until the expected number of Minions are created, so it would only be useful for changing a pick.

Yes. The King's ability, which is a constant check, says "the Demon knows" so new Demons learn who the King is.

No.

By the time they learn that they died there are only two players left alive, so the game is over.

No, that is an illegal setup. 'Most players are Legion' requires Legion to outnumber the good players. The recommended setup is to invert the standard good:evil ratio, so a 12 player setup would have 9 Legion and 3 good players.

Yes.

No.

Good's win condition is always to have every Demon dead. That is why, for Storytelling purposes, the final three has to be two good players and one Legion to make it winnable for the good team.

No, only as a Demon.

At dawn of the first day that they are sober and healthy. Additionally:

• the day counter is universal so does not start from zero;
• their execution counter only starts now;
• if it is after day 5 then evil win via the Leviathan's wincon.

No, all players already know the Leviathan is in play if they have been already been announced. The extra day notifications are just there for the players to remember the day count.

No, that is not part of their ability.

Yes, evil's normal win condition of two players alive always applies and ends the game.

Where there are lots of killing characters on the script, and the Leviathan stays alive with only one remaining alive player, this is possible.

No, the days are universal. However, any good executions while the Leviathan is drunk or poisoned do not count towards their win condition.

As long as the player is good, their execution counts towards the win condition of two executed good players. It does not matter if they do not die because of protection or already being dead.

Yes, and the character of one of those two players.

The ST.

Yes. LM can be given to any player, as long as the majority of the Minions agree. The player is then informed that they are babysitting, with the 'you are' info token followed by the Lil' Monsta character token.

Giving the LM to a good player will usually result in that player announcing such so is not always a good idea. Giving the LM to a Traveller who leaves will cause the game to end.

No, there can be extra kills due to other abilities on top of Lil' Monsta's kill.

No; their ability is one player dies each night. Other abilities in play could cause more deaths.

Whoever is currently babysitting. If they travel in at the start of the game, before the Minions have woken, then RAW they see no one but the ST could have them learn after the babysitter has been decided.

Yes.

In five and six player games, the Minion and Demon info steps do not happen, but character abilities still work as normal. So the Lil' Monsta ability still allows the evil team to learn each other, at the point that they wake up together to choose who babysits.

They can, but then the Demon would be dead almost certainly ending the game.

Yes.

Lil' Monsta will no longer be able to move, so will remain with the last babysitter for the rest of the game, since no Minion can wake to decide to move it.

Yes.

While the babysitter is regarded as 'the Demon' for abilities that check for such, they are still register as a Minion / Townsfolk / Outsider as applicable.

Yes, unless the ST rules otherwise, but Travellers rarely make good hosts: if the Traveller host is exiled or they leave, then they die, so the Lleech dies too. Also Traveller abilities tend to be very public so if they are not working correctly then it is very simple for the town to test this and exile them.

If the Lleech is drunk or poisoned:

1. they die when executed;
2. they do not die when the host dies.

Once the Lleech becomes sober and healthy they die if their host is dead.

Yes. They are self-poisoned for the rest of the game meaning they cannot kill at night and can die.

If the Lleech host is executed in final three, the good team wins, as the Lleech and the host die simultaneously. This is a rare example of simultaneous death in Clocktower.

Yes.

The chosen player is still the Lleech's host, but they are not poisoned while the Lleech is drunk / poisoned. When the Lleech becomes sober and healthy that host still needs to be dead in order for the Lleech to die; the Lleech cannot die while drunk or poisoned but, if the host dies meanwhile, the Lleech does too the moment that they are sober and healthy.

They should kill one of their Minions.

If they killed the only good player left in the game, their host, they would also die, resulting in a good win. By killing off one of their Minions, they keep the game going into a final three and hope that their host does not nominate themself.

Yes, since they know that the character that they initially received is now out of play.

No.

The only restriction is that all evils must sit in a line and the Demon's neighbours are evil, so the Demon is not allowed to be on the end of the line, but can be anywhere within the line.

First, before even Travellers.

All of the relevant neighbours are swapped to Minions before they have a chance to use any abilities.

Yes.

The Lunatic has a "you think" part of their ability that allows their deception. Initially, the Lunatic believes that they are the Demon via pulling the Demon token from the bag and this initial deception cannot be interrupted on N1 by any drunkenness or poisoning.

The ST maintains their deception by waking them up to take choices and feed them fake info. While they are drunk or poisoned the Lunatic, like any player, is deceived that their ability is functioning normally. The ST treats the "you think" part of their ability as functioning normally ... which is to make them believe that they are the Demon. So nothing has changed; the ST continues to treat them like the Demon that they think they are.

No.

Whereas the "you think" part of the Lunatic's ability is unaffected, their mechanical ability to cause the Demon to wake and learn their picks does not function. The Lunatic is still woken and their choices are taken, so they do not realise that they are either drunk or poisoned, but the Demon is not woken to learn who their Lunatic has chosen.

Yes, that is a function of the Lunatic ability and, while the Demon and Minion info steps are skipped, all character abilities function normally in a game with five or six players.

Correct. The Lunatic is not meant to be a lasting deception, but more of a spend the early game playing for evil, figure out what they are, then making it up to the good team.

The Lunatic is allowed to see the actual Minions, who may figure out why a non-Demon is claiming to be the Demon to them. Minions can even to lie to their Demon: the Demon who is convinced that they are the Lunatic will do a much better job of claiming to be the Lunatic if they genuinely believe it.

Yes.

No.

The Faux Paw just registers as evil, not as a Minion or as a Demon. So unless they are also the Red Herring, the FT receives a no.

No.

While the Faux Paw's alignment misregisters as evil, their character type cannot misregister. However, they could still be the Investigator's 'wrong' ping.

No.

The Faux Paw registers as evil to all abilities so cannot be the first good player to say the Mez word.

The Faux Paw does not count as an extra evil, as the SoI is about players becoming evil, not registering as evil.

Fabled characters should not be taken completely literally; they are there to fix a problem in a given script.

None of their ability takes effect:

• the Lycan's pick tonight cannot die,
• the Demon's kill is not blocked,
• the Faux Paw's misregistration is temporarily suspended.

No, the dead Lycanthrope has no ability so they cannot stop the Demon tonight.

Yes.

No, only the Demon's kill is blocked.

No.

During Minion info they are told one fewer Minion, from which they will deduce that the Marionette is in play. To find out who that is, they will need to talk to their Demon.

Yes, but an alternate setup should be used to ensure that an Outsider becomes the Marionette.

Using an alternate setup ensures that an Outsider neighbours the Demon that can be made into the Marionette. By replacing an Outsider with the Mario, the end result is still the correct number of each character type and the setup is legal.

If the Traveller is there during setup then the Marionette cannot skip over which can potentially lead to illegal setups. Having the Traveller travel in just after setup solves this problem, and it is often done this way.

No.

The Marionette must think that they are a good character, defined in the game to be a Townsfolk or an Outsider.

Yes.

Yes, this is a valid alternative setup.

The Demon token is replaced with a good character token and the tokens are distributed. The ST can then choose who becomes the Demon to satisfy their aims for the game. To prevent gaining an additional bluff the character that the Demon player saw should be one of the three Demon bluffs.

Just that they are now any Outsider or Townsfolk from the script.

The Marionette's ability is that they believe that they are a good character, not that they are good, so the only requirement is that they learn that they are now either an Outsider or a Townsfolk. They are not told that they are good, as this is not a requirement. But, if a means of swapping alignment exists on the script then they can be told that they are now good to assist with their deception. If it is plausible then they can be told additional lies to support the belief that they are now a good character.

No.

The Mastermind is only triggered if the execution of the Demon would cause the game to end, and the game cannot end while both of the Twins live.

The good team.

The game immediately ends.

The Mastermind day is over and most likely the game immediately ends.

No.

As long as the player is successfully made drunk or poisoned then the ability causing this effect has functioned normally and the Mathematician is not pinged. If the target has an info ability and receives true info then their ability too has functioned normally so again nothing registers to the Mathematician.

Yes.

No, good cannot win while the Twins are alive. This situation is unwinnable for the good team and the game can be ended right there.

Yes, probably a bad idea though.

Yes. In order to trigger a Mayor win the Travellers would need to be exiled first.

Good wins.

In a tie, a win due to a good character's ability beats a win due to an evil character's ability.

Yes, assuming they are the first good player to say the word.

The good player turns on N2.

No, because the Mezepheles' ability can no longer work in death. Note if the target instead is dead, they can still turn.

If they are drunk at their spot in the night order, no. If they were drunk when the word was said but sober at their place in the night order, yes.

No, the word does not functionally exist until the Mez learns it, so prior usages of the relevant word do not count as the one use of the ability for either using up the ability or turning players evil.

Yes, if the ST is feeling mean.

At the Mez's turn in the night order.

No; RAW the player would turn evil the following night.

No player becomes drunk because of the Minstrel.

In order for the Minstrel ability to trigger and make every other player drunk, she must be sober and healthy at the time of a Minion's execution. If she was drunk or poisoned at the time then becomes sober and healthy, it is too late for her ability to trigger.

At their turn in the night order when their ability is resolved, potentially killing someone.

Since the Moonchild is a backwards-checking character, any drunkenness and poisoning at the time of the pick is immaterial; the picked player, if good, is still marked to die with the reminder token, and will die if the Moonchild is sober and healthy and still the dead Moonchild at their turn in the night order.

At the Moonchild's point in the night order.

No, unless they are bone collected.

Generally, characters have no abilities when dead unless otherwise specified. The Mutant having no ability:

• is free to claim Mutant now that they are dead;
• can no longer be punished if they had claimed to be an Outsider while alive and died from another cause.

No, the Mutant ability to self execute would not work if they are drunk or poisoned.

No, they cannot be executed for the earlier madness break. It is possible for the Mutant to backpedal after claiming to be an Outsider, more difficult than if they had not, but possible.

Yes.

The Mutant is never safe and can be executed at any time, day or night.

Almost all madness break questions are best answered with "it depends".

If the ST believes that the player is genuinely attempting to convince others that they are an Outsider or signalling that they are the Mutant then it is a madness break. If it sounds like they are joking and are making non Outsider claims elsewhere then it is probably not a genuine attempt.

They are still woken to choose a target but they do not kill the target. Additionally, the Townsfolk they are poisoning are temporarily healthy, assuming no other source of poisoning, until the ND is sober and healthy.

Yes.

Yes. The Ogre would learn that they are the Good Twin, before they make the Ogre pick.

The Ogre can exploit their twin status to determine if they change alignment as should a different player later come forward as a twin, the Ogre would strongly suspect that they must have turned evil.

No.

As part of their ability the Ogre is immune to drunkenness and poisoning so becomes the alignment of whoever they picked on their first night.

They are good.

Not be default; the Ogre's ability is a once and done effect.

But at 15+ players the ST can rule that the Ogre is always the same alignment as their friend. To help the ST keep track of this, the friend is marked with a reminder token. This optional rule is only recommended for games of 15+ players to prevent too many evil players happening.

Yes.

Sort of.

The ST can choose any number of people to die to the Ojo, with or without a multi-kill Demon on the script, but deaths are not arbitrary so the ST cannot save people who die from other abilities. There can be multiple kills or none but one kill is still the recommended number most of the time.

Yes.

It would be the equivalent to sinking the kill.

As a character is in play even when dead, the Ojo still attacks them but because they are already dead nothing happens, and there will be no death due to the Ojo that night.

No, they must pick a player.

If the ST desires that no one dies to the Demon tonight then the chosen player could already be dead or protected.

No.

Travellers who travel away are completely out of the game and cannot be seen by abilities.

Ghost votes are removed at the end of the day, so after all nominations and votes have happened, not after every vote as it is typically conducted. This is so that players cannot tell where ghost votes were used. It is the players' responsibility not to vote twice until then.

No, a call for exile is not a vote.

Yes.



Voting is conducted with eyes open and vote counts are confirmed.

Yes.

The Organ Grinder's decision to be drunk or not only affects their own "drunk" reminder token; it does not stop them being drunk or poisoned by another ability.

Yes.

They are treated as a new instance of the Philosopher, with an unused Philosopher ability, and do not maintain any other previously gained ability.

If the Philo died while they had an "even if dead" ability, then that ability was maintained while they were dead, then lost upon resurrection. Otherwise, any gained ability was lost when they died.

The Philosopher's once per game ability is used up, and being sober and healthy when they used it they succeeded in gaining the Townsfolk ability.

While the Philo is sober and healthy the respective Townsfolk is drunk. While the Philo is drunk or poisoned, the respective Townsfolk is temporarily sober and their ability functions normally.

If the Philosopher had acted on a later night while drunk or poisoned then they would not have gained the ability, and the ST would lie to them for as long as they were drunk or poisoned.

They become self-drunk and their once per game ability is used up.

The ST could check in on the player in the morning and make sure they wanted to do that instead of trying to save their ability because they might have misunderstood their ability.

Gaining the ability of the Philo turns them into the Philo-Philo creating a drunkeness loop and drunkeness / poisoning loops are resolved by all players involved being drunk / poisoned. The ST could then just not bother to wake the player up anymore or they could pretend that the player has a new instance of the Philosopher ability, waking them up on subsequent nights in case they wanted to use it

Yes.

No.

As they were drunk or poisoned at the time they chose, they failed to gain the chosen ability and are now the spent Philosopher. If they chose a mechanical ability, it will not work at all.

However, if they chose an info ability then for as long as they remain drunk or poisoned, the ST should deceive them that they gained the ability by giving them arbitrary information when they would expect it. The ST is free to stop the deception if they want to, but once the Philo is sober and healthy again, the ST must, treating them as the spent Philosopher that does not wake. The Philo is then likely to deduce what must have happened and can look for the cause.

Yes, off script characters effectively do not exist.

When playing in person the Philosopher indicates their choice to the ST by pointing at a character on the script, so if the character is not there then they cannot pick it.

Yes.

Since the Philosopher acts early in the night order, what ever ability they choose will act later that night.

At the point in the night order of the chosen character.

ST choice. They do not have to, but they can.

No.

Yes.

This can be used to save his Demon from a tough spot at the expense of no longer being able to Pit-Hag again.

No, only their character.

If they turn a good player into a Minion or Demon, the result is a good Minion / Demon. Likewise, they can turn an evil Minion or Demon into an evil Townsfolk / Outsider.

No, their ability just has no effect tonight.

No.

Since Travellers are not on the character sheet the Pit-Hag player is unable to point them. However, there is an optional rule where Travellers can become non-Travellers, so the Pit-Hag can remove Travellers.

No.

Players are only informed of changes to their character so the Pit-Hag's ability just silently fails.

Yes.

When the Demon changes but does not move player, the suggested ST action is that there are no deaths tonight to signal the change of Demon.

The Pixie created mid game can be shown a dead in play Townsfolk and will likely never get their ability.

A late game Pixie is essentially just confirming an in play Townsfolk and should probably not be trying to gain their ability nor likely can they.

Yes.

The ST would have no choice if the Pixie were the only Townsfolk player.

No, a droisoned Pixie cannot gain an ability. For as long as they are droisoned the ST can make them think they did though.

No.

When the ability is gained the Pixie is not directly informed by the ST. Instead, the ST does what they would do for the standard character with that ability. If this involves being woken at night and prompted for a choice then the Pixie will quickly realise that they have gained their ability.

No.

There is no way for the ST to lose an ability that they gained.

The ST gains a Minion ability.

Since the ST is allowed to duplicate an in play Minion ability what is currently in play is immaterial.

The sober and healthy Plague Doctor triggers as soon as they die, permanently giving the ST an out of play Minion ability that acts at the relevant point in the night order.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

If the Po's last choice was to attack no one, then the next time they wake they must choose exactly three different players. If their aim is to kill fewer than three player they can always include dead players in their three.

The Po is woken and their choice applied, with drunkenness and poisoning having no effect on charging but preventing any kills. So the sober and healthy Po can triple kill, even if they were drunk or poisoned when they charged the previous night, but the drunk or poisoned Po does not kill any player that they pick.

No. If the Po charged last night then tonight they must attack three players.

Yes.

Yes, they may not have an ability but they are still Minions.

No.

Immediately.

The evil team learn each other at the first opportunity after the Poppy Grower dies. If she is executed, that is the start of the night; if she dies at night, it is immediately after that death.

Their place in the night order, before the Demon, is just there as a reminder to the ST to give the info before the demon makes their kill in case the Poppy Grower was executed.

No, only Minions and Demons, regardless of alignment.

A player that was once a Minion but is now an evil Outsider or Townsfolk will miss out.

No. Also the ST is not a Minion so would not lose the ability anyway.

No. The moment they stop being a Minion, the preached effect ends on them and does not ever return unless the Preacher chooses them again when they turn back.

Yes.

The ST is allowed to duplicate an in play Minion ability; whether it is functioning or not is immaterial.

Yes.

If the Preacher is alive but drunk or poisoined, then preached Minions temporarily regain their abilities; the ST can indicate this by turning the Preacher's reminder tokens upside-down in the meantime. The Minion will surmise that they have their use of their ability again when the ST wakes them and prompts them to use it.

A Minion learns that they have been preached on the night they are chosen by the Preacher, but should the Preacher die or become drunk or poisoned the preached Minions are not informed nor are they reinformed that they are preached when the Preacher's ability resumes functioning normally.

Yes, this is part of the Preacher's ability and even while dead a Minion is still a Minion.

Evil won the moment there were only two people alive, which was immediately after the Demon chose a kill. The Professor does not get to act that night because the game was over already.

No, they are not the Psychopath so do not have the ability that allows them to play roshambo.

Each day before nominations begin. They could kill as soon as the day starts if they wished. The Psychopath should not be allowed to interrupt an action such as the ST privately giving a player any information.

The ST.

They die without playing roshambo, since mechanical effects do not happen while drunk or poisoned.

Yes, with whomever nominated them. This then obviously outs them as the Psychopath.

No, the ST does not directly state that they are the Psychopath. If they are executed then they play roshambo with their nominator, so it will be pretty obvious what they are.

No.

Mechanical abilities have no effect while used drunk or poisoned.

No.

The Psychopath is not designed to hide after they have killed. The ST should process public claims and actions clearly in order to avoid any shenanigans, so that it would be abundantly clear which claim results in the death of the player.

Town are not given any confirmation that the Psychopath claim is real.

Any player can claim that they are the Pyschopath when they are not and the result is indistinguishable from the actual Psychopath failing to kill their target.

No; the ST is not a player.

Yes.

The Psychopath ability is targeted at a player and the Psycho is a player. Generally, all abilities that state that they target a player can be self-targeted unless they say otherwise.

Yes.

The Psychopath only dies to execution if they lose roshambo.

If the Pukka is drunk or poisoned when they pick at night then:

1. the player who already has the poisoned token is temporarily healthy (some STs choose not to remove the token entirely to help them remember; some turn it upside down);
2. no new token is placed down.

On the next night when the Pukka is both sober and healthy:

1. the previously poisoned player is re-poisoned;
2. the Pukka's choice will now cause a new poisoned token to be placed down;
3. the previously poisoned player dies, then becomes healthy.

When the Pukka becomes sober and healthy. Until then the previously poisoned player is temporarily healthy, which the ST can indicate by turning the poison reminder token upside-down.

Nothing good for the Pukka:

• As soon as she picks herself she is permanently poisoned for the rest of the game, so she cannot kill anyone, including herself.
• The previously poisoned player, if there is one, is immediately healthy, and does not die.
• If she somehow became healthy on a later night then, as the previously poisoned player, she would die.

No, they must specifically choose the player drunk from their ability.

Yes.

During the day, either publicly or privately.

Yes.

The reminder token is placed on N1, after tokens are sent out and [setup abilities] have already resolved, so that is when the drunkenness starts.

Their ability does not work, so the player they have made drunk is temporarily sober: the ST can indicate this by turning the Puzzlemaster drunk reminder token upside down. Once the Puzzlemaster is sober and healthy, their ability resumes making their target drunk.

If the Puzzlemaster makes a guess while drunk or poisoned, then regardless of the accuracy of the guess the ST can tell them any player. The ST could even show them the Demon perhaps reasoning that the Puzzlemaster will discredit their own info or that they are deliberately burning their guess to eliminate Demon candidates.

Yes.

While drunk or poisoned the Puzzlemaster can be told anyone. But if they pick themself then, regardless of drunkenness and poisoning, the ST should probably show them themself.

Yes, assuming the Puzzlemaster player is alive, sober and healthy.

No, but the drunk player is still drunk.

Yes, but don't, as that would be an Outsider ability hurting evil.

Yes.

No.

Yes, but don't.

Yes, assuming both are present at the start of the game.

No, the call should be made before nominations open.

In a Riot game calling for the exile of a Traveller does not kill them immediately; Riot only affects nominations, so a Traveller exile vote should be run as normal. There should be no interruptions once a Riot nomination train is rolling, so all calls for Traveller exiles should occur before nominations open.

Yes.

Yes, but the dead player can nominate again and must do so D3.

However, there is an optional rule for Riot: "when Riot is in play, the dead may not be nominated. This is more fun and is the original intent of Riot."

They can pass on the first two days, but D3 they must nominate.

They do not die, the ST counts down from 3 and, if the nominated player does not nom, the ST noms for them. The only difference is that if it is the first nom, they may not immediately realize it is a Riot game.

No.

One of the two players shown to the Sage must be the Demon responsible for their death. It is allowed for the false ping to be another Demon.

They are shown two players: the dead Demon that killed them plus another arbitrary player. The Sage is always specifically shown the Demon that killed them, so the living Demon, aka the Demon, is not shown unless the ST feels like showing them as the false ping, perhaps for game balance purposes.

Yes.

Yes. Whether they should is up to the ST who may consider the current game state and which side they feel is winning. Generally the Sailor should be used to make Townsfolk drunk, and become drunk themself if they pick an evil player or an Outsider. It is safe to make an evil player drunk if their ability is spent.

Yes, as soon as they lose the Sailor ability that is making them drunk they become sober.

Yes.

The SW ability checks the player count immediately before the Demon's death. If the Demon dies and there were five or more alive players immediately before the Demon died, replace the Scarlet Woman token with a Demon token.

Yes.

Yes, since the Shab's ability is "a player you chose last night might be regurgitated"; it does not specify needing to be the killer.

No.

Regurgitation happens before the Shabaloth kills, so the ST can choose to regurgitate one of the Shab's picks from last night, bringing the game up to five living players, guaranteeing at least three players left alive after the Shabaloth's picks for this night are processed.

No.

The Shabaloth does not control whether a player is regurgitated; that choice falls to the ST.

Before.

No.

The Shabaloth is not told anything about regurgitations. The ST makes the decision on regurgitation before the Shabaloth wakes, (i.e. before the kills) then wakes the Shab and has her point to two players. Any deaths and resurrections are announced at the start of the day, and the players update the Town Square accordingly.

If the Shabaloth chose two people the night before, then just before they attack tonight, one of those people they chose, if they are currently dead, may come back to life. Even if the Shabaloth is exorcised tonight so cannot kill, they can still bring one of their previous night's targets back to life, because regurgitation is not tied to their waking up.

Note that the Shabaloth's previous targets do not need to have been killed by the Shabaloth's attack in order to be revived, they only need to be dead on the next night. This means that the Shabaloth can choose an already dead player and revive them the next night, or the Shabaloth's target can survive the attack, then die the next day and subsequently be revived because they are now dead in time.

The Shabaloth regurgitates just before they choose their next victims, so only characters that act after the Shabaloth get to use their ability tonight.

Yes.

Once per game is just a suggestion but there is nothing stopping the ST from using it more if they feel it is justified.

Regurgitation, if it happens, happens before the kills. So the night would start with four alive, regurgitation would bring this up to five, then there would be three alive after the kills.

It is recommended that an ST not regurgitate into final 3 though, as that is rough on the evil team.

No.

Once the Shab is dead, it has no ability.

Neither of the Shab's picks from last night, if there are any, can be regurgitated tonight, but one of tonight's picks might still be reguritated tomorrow.

As with all drunk or poisoned Demons, the Shab is woken to make their picks to simulate that they are sober and healthy. So, even though the Shab cannot kill tonight, they are still woken to pick two players who are marked in the Grimoire. Tomorrow night, one of those marked players may be regurgitated if they are dead and the Shab is sober and healthy, since for regurgitation, it is not necessary to have been killed by the Shabaloth, just to have been picked.

Yes.

If the Shabaloth picks while drunk or poisoned or the pick is protected due to their own or another character's ability, then the picked player will not die, but they are still marked in the Grimoire with the Shab's reminder tokens.

Should the pick die before the Shab acts tomorrow night then, if the Shab is alive, sober and healthy, they are still eligible to be regurgitated since for regurgitation it is not necessary to have been killed by the Shabaloth, just to have been picked.

Yes.

The Shab could kill their Minion and they are eligible to be regurgitated tomorrow, potentially refreshing any ability that that Minion has. Alternatively, a Minion that was executed could be regurgitated by consuming their corpse.

Any time before they die, and before the day officially ends. So after they are on the block but before they are actually executed is fine. Most STs also allow a few seconds for day abilities between the execution and officially declaring the day over and night beginning, but that might vary by ST, so players should clarify what is allowable before relying on that window. Most would not allow the Slayer their shot after their execution as they are dead.

Yes, but the ST might want to finish resolving the vote first and the player may have to repeat their target in case the ST did not hear it or forgot. The ST may not be inclined to let the Slayer kill or clear someone in the middle of the vote, so the Slayer might want to do it before, so that there is no need to vote, or after, to convince town to lift.

Yes.

No.

The Snake Charmer must choose alive players.

Yes, assuming their Demon character wakes that night, since all Demons act after the SC in the night order; wake the new Demon at their turn in the night order to get their kill. This also means that the player who was previously the Demon will only wake tonight to learn their new character, and alignment if applicable.

The new SC poisons themself.

No.

Once they lose the Snake Charmer ability that is poisoning themself, they become healthy. If they then become the Snake Charmer again, they are still healthy.

Yes.

No.

Wake the player, informed them that they are now the Snake Charmer and then put them back to sleep.

Yes, if the ST wants that. The Snitch's text does not specify "good characters".

Yes, but don't.

In theory the misregistering Spy could be skipped during Demon and Minion info.

Yes, but this might not be fun ... the rest of the game state and players should be considered before doing this.

Nothing. The Steward is a start knowing ability, not a constantly knows.

No, as the Fang Gu must be able to kill their target in order to jump to them.

Yes.

No.

Then as per the jinx, the Summoner still chooses which Demon comes into play but the ST chooses which player becomes the Demon.

RAW no one, nor do they learn the Demon after they are created.

Some STs homerule that the evil Traveller is informed of the Demon after the Demon is created, while some rule it reasonable to show the Summoner. Alternatively the ST could pick Travellers that work well without specifically needing to know the evil team.

Yes, that is a function of the Summoner ability, and all character abilities function normally in a game with five or six players.

Yes.

The drunkenness due to the Sweetheart is temporarily suspended, indicated in the Grimoire by turning the reminder token upside down, for as long as the Sweetheart is drunk or poisoned.

Yes.

No, unless they are swapped with the Sweetheart.

The Sweetheart drunkenness is on the player, not the character, so the new character enters play drunk. To end the drunkenness requires the Sweetheart to be swapped.

The Tea Lady's ability only cares about the alignment of their living neighbours; if both are good then both are protected. Travellers are not ignored, so a neighbouring good Traveller can be Tea Lady protected and since Traveller exile is treated as death, a Tea Lady protected Traveller cannot be exiled. Physically, the ST would announce "<Traveller> is exiled but does not die". This will likely hard confirm the Traveller's alignment, which is why some STs will house rule around this since hard confirmation is never the intent of abilities.

The Traveller could still leave the game though.

Yes, as long as they are unprotected, since their ability is active as soon as the game starts, and "at any time" means just that. But the ST should carefully consider whether this is a good idea. Obviously the Tinker would be delighted as that hard confirms them.

Yes, a preached Minion is still a Minion and if they nominate the Town Crier is alerted.

The Town Crier is a backwards-checking ability. During the previous day, if a Minion nominated, the Town Crier's 'Minion nominated' reminder token is placed in the Grimoire. Then that night, as long as they are sober, healthy and alive at their turn in the night order, the Town Crier will correctly learn if the reminder token was placed in the Grimoire. If however tonight they are drunk or poisoned at their turn in the night order then they learn arbitrary info.

No, unless the Toymaker Fabled is in play.

In a regular five or six player game, the Demon does not receive any bluffs and the evil team does not learn each other. However, introducing the Toymaker allows for the usual Minion and Demon info steps to happen, but on one night of their choice the Demon must skip attacking by shaking their head when woken. 

The UT must see the Recluse. The UT evaluates the character not at the time that they wake but when the character died. So the ST has to take the answer at the moment of execution, which would have to be Recluse.

No.

The Undertaker's ability reads "you learn which character died by execution today" so the execution must cause the player to die. So executing dead players or protected players means the Undertaker receives no info.

The UT's sobriety and health matters only at their turn in the night order.

The UT is a backward looking ability and sees the character of the most recently executed player at the time of their execution. If they were poisoned or drunk at the time of the execution but sober and healthy when they wake, then they will receive true info. In contrast, if they are drunk or poisoned when they wake at night then their info is arbitrary.

The poisoning:

• targets a player sat in either direction of the Minion;
• must target a Townsfolk player, skipping over non-Townsfolk players, until a Townsfolk is encountered;
• does not skip dead Townsfolk - living status is irrelevant;
• does not skip evil Townsfolk - alignment is irrelevant;
• does not need to target the closest Townsfolk neighbour - it is okay to target the Townsfolk sat further away in the other direction.

Additionally, the poisoning is constantly checked so if the target becomes invalid, either by ceasing to be a Townsfolk or by an in between player becoming a Townsfolk, then the poisoning must be moved to a valid target, following the previous constraints.

When sat between two Vigor-killed Minions it is valid, although probably not helpful, for the same Townsfolk player to be poisoned twice.

No.

A second kill would have no effect on the Minion: a dead player cannot be killed, they are already dead. They would need to come back to life and then killed by any means other than a Vigor-kill to disable the ability and the poisoning.

Yes. It is a present-tense effect, so it is always in effect whenever the Vigor is sober and healthy. 

Yes.

The Vigormortis ability only cares whether the target was a living Minion; if it was, then regardless of their alignment, the target keeps their ability and poisons their nearest Townsfolk neighbour in either direction.

Yes.

The Vigormortis's [setup modidfier] removes one Outsider from the setup if possible, but if there are zero to begin with then the total remains zero.

No, once the poisoned Townsfolk neighbour is chosen, the poison must remain there.

The only time the poison can change target is if the poisoned player stops being a Townsfolk, or an intermediate player becomes a Townsfolk. In either case the poisoned player is no longer a valid target so the poison must move, in either direction from the Minion, to one of their nearest Townsfolk neighbours.

No.

Only by killing a Minion does the Vigor allow the Minion to keep their abilities and poison their nearest Townsfolk neighbour. Dead players cannot die so the Vigor attacking their corpses has no effect.

No.

The Demon must kill their a Minion as the Vigormortis in order for that Minion to retain their ability and poison their nearest Townsfolk neighbour.

No, just Townsfolk.

No, because the VI is in play.

"Learning bluffs" is just a shorthand way of saying that the Demon "learns out of play good character tokens".

No, they remain drunk.

No. The Virgin only cares if it is specifically a Townsfolk. Alignment does not matter. A Traveller is not a Townsfolk, so no matter their alignment it will not work. It will still waste the Virgin's ability though.

No. The Virgin's ability can work only the first time they are nominated, and if they were drunk or poisoned at the time then the ability is lost and untriggered.

They are immediately executed and die, assuming they are sober and healthy.

In Trouble Brewing this confirms the Virgin player as 100% good.

Yes.

The ST can execute them, but they would not die. It is probably a bad idea to as it just wastes a day for the good team with no counterplay.

Yes.

Yes.

If at least one good player voted for it, then the sober and healthy Vizier can force the execution through. They are executed but do not die and the day ends.

The ST could inform them when they join, not that it probably matters as they will likely learn this from other players.

Yes.

Yes. Players lose their ability when dead, so the Vortox's ability of forcing false Townsfolk info is no longer in effect.

Yes.

The Vortox only cares whether an execution happened today, not whether there was a death by execution.

No; all info must still be false.

Voting returns to normal until the voudon is sober and healthy.

There is no announcement regarding this so the town will be unaware that this is the case, which will probably lead to wasted ghost votes and missed opportunities for the living to vote.

Since the Voudon's ability means that the living cannot vote, not that their votes do not count, the only way to test if the Voudon's ability is disabled is for a dead player to vote and lose their ghost token; a living player voting as a test would be considered cheating.

No. Their ability specifies they know a Townsfolk is one of two players.

No.

The player is decided after the Widow makes their choice. Also there is no 'knows' token for the Widow to see in the Grimoire.

No good player learns that the Widow is in play.

Yes.

Should they travel away while the Widow still has their ability then another good player must be woken to learn of the Widow.

They should not die, as the nomination is not valid. However mistakes happen, so if the player mistakenly nominates and then the ST were to mistakenly act on the Witch curse, the best solution is for the ST to admit there was a mistake made, apologise, and continue on as best they can, with the player dead. The ST could ask if they would like to nominate someone else instead but they are staying dead regardless.

If there are only three players alive, the Witch curse cannot kill a player.

When there are four or more players alive the Witch can kill. After the nominator dies to the Witch, the nomination continues.

Yes.

Yes.

Wishes are permanent once used and are not tied to the wizard's ability, unless the Wizard made that part of their wish.

No.

The Boffin is a Minion, not a Townsfolk, so stays healthy on night X and the granted ability functions normally.

Since X=0 no Townsfolk will ever become poisoned.

The Xaan will probably bluff as an Outsider to make the good team believe that Townsfolk were all poisoned on N1.

After the Xaan's turn in the night order on night X, where X is the number of starting Outsiders, with the poisoning lasting until the end of the next day.

X corresponds to the number of Outsiders during setup.

No, the Zombuul registering as dead does not count for evil's win condition.

Yes, the Zombuul's ability checks whether a player died, and dead players cannot die.

No, their "death" registers even to their own ability so the following night they do not wake.

Yes.

No.

After their first vote while registering as dead they would lose their ghost vote and may now not vote again.

Yes, so the Zombuul does not wake.

Even if the Traveller travels away from the game before the end of the day and there are no other deaths, the Zombuul still does not wake because a player died that day.

Yes.

No, abilities have no effect while drunk or poisoned.

No. Mechanical abilities used while drunk have no effect on other players.

No, the Butler is not constrained by their own ability.

The Butler's ability is concerned with voting for an execution and since a call for exile is not the same as a vote for execution the Butler is free to raise their hand as they see fit.

No, they would be executed ending the day.

Yes.

No. The DA can only save a player from dying to execution but exiles are not executions.

Under standard rules Travellers cannot change characters so an alive good Traveller cannot become a Farmer. However, if the variant where this is allowed is used, then when a Traveller becomes a Farmer their life token in the Town Square is changed from a Traveller one to a standard one.

No.

An exile is unaffected by the Judge's ability, so the Judge can neither force through the exile or pardon the Traveller should their exile acquire enough support.

Yes.

No, only Travellers who start the game evil learn the Demon.

No. The Pacifist can save a player from dying to execution, and exiles are not executions.

No.

An exile is unaffected by the Thief's ability, so the player with the negative vote can positively support an exile.

All of them act first if they act at night before any other characters, except for the Apprentice which will act at the turn in the night order of the ability she has.

Yes.

When determining the number of living and dead players, Travellers are included in the appropriate count.

Travellers are treated as regular players for all game rules and abilities except for the evil's win condition of only two alive and where it states "not including Travellers" or similar in an ability's description.

Yes.

Any ability that says players includes Travellers unless stated otherwise like Dreamer. When killed a Traveller is treated the same way as a non-Traveller being killed: their life token is flipped upside down and they have one dead vote for the rest of the game. They can of course still travel away at any point in which case their token is removed from the game.

No.

Demons and Minions learned each other during the evil info step happens during N1. Once this stage has passed the only mechanical way for them to learn each other is for the last active Poppy Grower ability to die.

Most can with some exceptions.

Where any ability text says "choose a player" a dead player is still a player, so the ability can target the dead the same way as the living. An ability that can only target living players, such as the Chambermaid's, will explicitly specify this in its description.

It is allowed for corpses to be attacked with killing abilities, which is something the Demon might choose to do to mislead the good team about which characters are in play. But if a player went into the night phase already dead and are attacked they are not announced as having died in the morning, since dead players cannot die again.

Yes. The game ends with evil winning in that situation.

Ability trumps over general game rules. So if two abilities cause a game tie, then the good one will win. If there is an ability game end condition and a regular game end condition, the ability wins out, such as the Evil Twin ability trumping the no Demons alive win condition. If two regular game end conditions are met at once, it is a tie and good wins. There are some exceptions for if it is impossible for one team to win, but the Evil Twin in SnV is not one of them.

Yes. In general, there can only be a maximum of the number of Outsiders that are on the script, because players cannot have duplicate tokens. So even if there is Outsider modification that equals up to having six total Outsiders in play, if the script only has four Outsiders on it, only four would be in play. This does not come up in most scripts though; the Baron in a six player Teensyville with only two Outsiders on the script is probably where the limit being hit is most often seen.

Jinxes are official special rules indicated by the Djinn Fabled that should be followed like regular games rules. They fix issues or weird interactions between two character abilities that make one character useless, OP, or nonsensical due to the other. Modifing the rules slightly allows the affected characters to work together properly or makes the game more fun. Note that as jinxes are always between abilities, not characters, they apply to players that have gained the ability in the same was as if the player was the corresponding character.

The BotC app puts in the Djinn automatically for scripts with jinxes and it cannot be removed. With in person play it helps to announce these special rules at the start of the game.

Jinxes are not the same as house rules in that the ST cannot create jinxes but they can create house rules.

No.

The good team's win condition is no living Demon. If there are multiple Demons then, regardless of alignment, they must all be dead for the good team to win.

A final three consisting of two Demons, even where one is good, evil wins automatically, unless the third player happens to be a sober and healthy Mayor and they do not execute. A final two consisting of one Demon who is good is an evil win, since a living Demon and two or fewer living players is evil's win condition.

Those symbolise a jinx from the Djinn Fabled.

Jinxes represent clarifications or fixes for bad or confusing interactions between characters.

No, they are sober and healthy.

Yes.

Yes.

The Alchemist and the Drunk who thinks that they are the Alchemist can duplicate an in play Minion ability.

Yes.

This is then just a case of another Minion ability being used by evil.

Yes, and after N1 they might still register to the Chambermaid, depending on the Minion ability gained.

The Alchemist ET learns an evil player and their character as their evil aligned twin. The evil player learns the Alchemist as the good aligned Evil Twin. If the good Alchemist ET is executed, evil wins. Good cannot win while both of the Twins live.

Practically the ST wakes the Alchemist, points to an evil player and shows the token for their character. The ST then wakes the same evil player, points to the Alchemist and shows them the Evil Twin character token.

Yes.

Technically the ability requires claiming to be the Goblin in order to win when executed, but it would be harsh to not treat both as valid claims.

No, Legion is a Demon not a Minion. Only after the ability is in play can the Legion player register as a Minion.

These pairings should be avoided as it is unfun and uninteresting.

In both cases they are effectively the drunk or poisoned Alchemist and are told the wrong ability that has no effect, and the Demon would learn who the Marionette is and would be their neighbour. If it is the Alchemist with the Marionette ability, the Demon would immediately know this as they would not have been shown them as a Minion during Demon info.

The ability still works as it normally does - the first good player to say the word turns evil.

The Alchemist can say it immediately and turn themself evil, or they could not say it and not lead anyone else to say it and just play for the good team with the knowledge that they will not cause an extra evil player in this game.

The Alchemist is allowed to have an in play Minion ability.

Yes.

Yes, but the ST is now allowed to have an in play Minion ability.

No, the Recluse is not a Minion.

Recluse misregistration has no effect on the Alchemist who is allowed to have any Minion ability.

Yes.

If the Scarlet Woman is in play then they would also become the Demon, resulting in two Demons!

Yes, but as per the jinx they do not get to see the Grimoire.

Additionally, the Spy cannot register falsely.

The game start with a Demon in play, as normal. The Alchemist is given three Summoner bluffs and on N3 they can choose a player to become a Demon, but that player does not change their alignment.

Yes, but as per the jinx they do not get to see the Grimoire.

They do poison another player. Should they poison another player then a good player learns that the Widow is in play.

Their ability is something the Alchemist starts knowing and just as with any start knowing character who is drunk or poisoned they can get wrong info on their first night that is not corrected if they become sober and healthy.

On N1 the ST assigns the Alchemist a Minion ability. But if they are N1 drunk or poisoned then instead of learning their correct ability they can be told that they have another ability, and the ST will treat them as having that ability. When the Alchemist becomes sober and healthy, they do not change abilities, their actual ability that they had from setup now functions correctly, and the ST now treats them as having that ability. Note that the Alchemist is only ever informed of a change of ability when they actually change ability, which is not the case here, so the ST tells them nothing.

No.

The Alchemist is allowed to have an in play Minion ability.

Yes.

The Bone Collector is possbily not the best choice for an Al-Hadikhia game ...

No.

While drunk or poisoned she cannot affect other players: there is no announcement and no waking of her targets. The Al-Hadikhia will then realise that she was drunk / poisoned or think that she might be the Lunatic.

The entirety of the choosing and killing process happens twice: from the Al-Hadikhia choosing three players who decide to live/die to the end of the activation, then back to the start to do it again.

No, it is only that player's ability that is doubled, not the Al-Hadikhia's.

After the Al-Had attacks for the first time, everyone will know the Al-Hadikhia is in play. At that point the Courtier will make the Al-Had drunk, which is completely unbluffable by the evil team. Thus the Courtier will always be confirmed and get to wipe out the Al-Hadikhia for three nights.

The Al-Hadikhia does not get to pick and there are no announcements. This would look no different to the Al-Hadikhia being drunk or poisoned, so the town would be unsure of the cause.

All of the chosen players.

The Fool initially survives due to her ability, then as all three picks are alive, all three die in the order that they were picked. As this would now be the Fool's second death, she is killed outright. This all assumes no other sources of protection.

If instead the Fool had chosen to live also, then they would have survived with their ability spent while the other two picks died. Arguably the unspent Fool should always say no to dying...

No.

The Gambler never knows whether they have died to their own ability. So, they could gamble incorrectly and die, then be chosen by the Al-Hadikhia and choose live and therefore be resurrected and would not know whether they gambled correctly or not as the net effect is the same.

No.

The dead Goon has no ability so cannot flip alignment or make the Demon drunk.

The Al-Hadikhia is drunk immediately, so there are no announcements or waking of any of the targets, none of whom can die to the Demon tonight.

Yes. Resurrection does not change alignment.

If the grandchild dies to the Al-Hadikhia, the Grandmother dies too, but they can then be resurrected in the same night and therefore not know if their ability worked or not.

If the grandchild is the first Al-Hadikhia pick and chooses to die, also killing the Grandmother, and the Grandmother is the second pick and chooses to live so coming back to life, they should probably be given the same grandchild, as a new grandchild would give them too much confirmation.

The Al-Had visits three players in an order over the night phase, offering them the choice to live or die. Any player picking die, dies instantly. Once all three are visited, a check is performed: are all three players alive? If they are all alive then they are killed in the order that the Al-Had picked.

So in this example if the Innkeeper was picked first, all three would die. If the Innkeeper was not the first choice, then the protected player(s) chosen beforehand would stay alive.

The Demon learns who the Lunatic is and who they pick each night.

Unless the actual Demon is the Al-Had, the Lunatic will quickly realise who they really are when there are no night announcements, which are a mechanical effect caused by the Al-Hadikhia's ability, and the Lunatic who saw the Al-Had token does not actually have the Al-Had's ability.

If the Al-Hadikhia dies by execution, and the Mastermind is alive, the Al-Hadikhia chooses three good players tonight: if all three choose to live, evil wins. Otherwise, good wins.

The Mayor can bounce an Al-Hadikhia kill from themself to another player if they choose to die. If all three picks are then still alive so all three must die, the Mayor can again bounce the kill.

As an extreme example:

1. the Mayor and players A and B are chosen by the Al-Hadikhia and announced to town,
2. only the Mayor says die and their kill bounces to C, who dies,
3. all three picks are alive so all should die, and the Mayor bounces again to D,
4. so players A, B, C and D die in the night despite only the Mayor, A and B being announced as Al-Hadikhia targets.

If the ST were to do this though it would all but hard-confirm the Mayor and the Al-Hadikhia cannot easily stop them surviving to final three, but it is a fun interaction!

No, they are still picked and must make a choice.

If the Pit-Hag creates a new Demon, and one of the two is the Al-Hadikhia who is not immediately killed before they awake, then the Al-Hadikhia can be woken and their choices taken, announced and processed, but the ST can choose to kill or protect anyone throughout the process using the Pit-Hag ability.

It is generally a good idea to kill the Al-Hadikhia if they or a second Demon in an Al-Hadikhia game are created by the Pit-Hag as otherwise they can resurrect the other Demon relatively easily and have two living evil Demons.

Deaths are arbitrary until the end of the night giving the ST a lot of freedom since Demons wake later than the Pit-Hag, but if the Al-Hadikhia is alive, sober and healthy then the waking up and announcing stuff is not optional: it must happen.

This potentially already informs good players that the Demon has changed, so the ST might choose not to interfere with anything and ignore the option for arbitrary deaths.

If the PG is killed by the Al-Hadikhia, the evil team learn each other immediately. Generally, if this is not going to affect the other Al-Hadikhia choices, then it is safe to wait until after the other choices to tell the evil players, but if a Minion or, worryingly, two, have been picked by the Al-Hadikhia along with the Poppy Grower, then the ST should tell them before waking them for their Al-Hadikhia choice as it will affect their decision.

Yes, then as per the jinx between the SW and the Al-Had, the ex-SW would become the SW again, thus preventing two alive Demons.

The storm caught player can be picked by the Al-Hadikhia but cannot die. This can be a way to force a good player who does not want to die to do so, because it reduces the field to the storm caught player and two characters who do not want to die, one of whom is going to have to choose to do so or both of them will instead.

As soon as the Sweetheart dies. So they could make a character drunk that dies later within the Al-Hadikhia choices or even the Al-Hadikhia herself, immediately ending har activation at that moment but this is a probably a bad idea as it confirms the Sweetheart as good as well as wiping out the Demon ability.

The Tinker can choose to live for their Al-Hadikhia choice, then die before the other players have chosen to live or die, ensuring that one of the three is dead and preventing an "all three die" situation.

This is unlikely to happen since the Tinker will generally be happy to say die and it would be harsh for the ST to deny the Al-Hadikhia a rare triple kill.

No.

Good cannot win if both Twins are alive, even when the Alsaahir triggers their win condition. This counts as the Alsaahir ability functioning abnormally to the Mathematician.

As well as guessing which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), the Alsaahir must also guess which Demon(s) are in play. Since the Vizier is a known Minion this jinx makes it harder for the Alsaahir to win the game.

The Alsaahir does not have to guess which player is which Demon.

Nothing stops them.

The first time they would be exiled, they are not.

Yes, but if they travel out it is lost as they are no longer in the game.

No, an exile is not an execution.

Yes, if nominations have not been opened.

Yes, as long as the ST is fine with creative Artist questions designed to bypass misregistration.

Yes. The Fool ability counts as something that would prevent them from dying, so the Assassin ignores it and actually kills them.

Yes, causing another player to die, but the Mayor still dies because of the Assassin ability to override all protections.

The sequence of events:

1. The Assassin chooses the Mayor;
2. The first part of the Assassin's ability triggers: "Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die";
3. The Mayor's ability notes that the Mayor is about to die, so bounces the kill to another player who dies instead;
4. As the Mayor is still alive the second part of the Assassin's ability, "even if for some reason they could not", triggers to kill the Mayor.

Since the result is a double kill it should probably be used sparingly. A potential compromise that allows both abilities to benefit their sides is to bounce the kill to the Assassin.

Yes, as the Assassin's kill beats any other ability.

RAW there is no definitive answer, so the ST can rule whichever is more interesting for the script. Most of the time, that is likely to be Storm Catcher.

The Storm Catcher's ability and the Assassin ability are at odds with one another and while Fabled characters do not inherently trump other characters, a common view is that by intention the Storm Catcher does trump the Assassin.

ST choice.

RAW the ST is not a player so is never a valid target for abilities, but in an Atheist game the ST is free to break any rule so can allow it. However, as the Atheist only requires the ST's execution not their death, preventing them from dying would not accomplish anything.

The Engineer can only change the characters of existing Demons and Minions (without breaking the rules). In an Atheist game, the ST is reasonably likely to pretend that it has been effective, though, by changing what Demon/Minion abilities the town is hallucinating.

Yes.

Evil players are not removed from the game as that part of the Atheist's ability is a setup ability, so it has no effect if entering play mid game. Good can now win the game be executing the ST.

However, although the Philo's choice could not be refused, since the ST is now able do whatever they want, they will typically take the opportunity to make any fixes to the game balance they believe are necessary and then uncreate the Atheist, meaning no more rule-breaking or alternative win condition for the good team.

No.

The ST has no alignment so is not the same alignment as the Scapegoat.

Yes.

The ST can do whatever they want in an Atheist game, but whether they should is another question.

No, since the ST is not a player, unless the Atheist is in game in which case the ST is allowed to break the rules and so the ST can be shown.

Yes, the Kazali's [setup ability] means the setup is legal whatever the Outsider count.

They can, or they can be shown the dead Imp.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

While Legion registers as both a Minion and a Demon at the same time, most abilities only see them as one type at a time. So the Balloonist can see the first Legion as one type, and the second as the other type.

Yes, once as their character type and once as a Demon.

The Philo gains the Balloonist ability but the [setup effect] is skipped so there is no possibility of an Outsider being added in this way.

No, the ST is not a Minion.

Yes. The Recluse can register to the Balloonist, as an Outsider, a Minion and the Demon.

Yes.

The Banshee is then immediately executed, ending the day.

If the Demon chooses to Barber swap the Good Twin player, then they are still the Good Twin, and the Evil Twin gets updated about what character they are now. If the Demon chooses to Barber swap the Evil Twin, then there will be a new ET pair who will get woken that night to learn each other.

The Demon cannot use the Barber to swap with a second Demon.

No, the Barber's ability explicitly disallows choosing another Demon.

No.

Nothing.

They die as an Outsider.

This situation can arise if the ST decides, as is their right, to run the Barber at their turn in the night order. Other STs prefer to run the Barber at the first opportunity, so after the Barber is executed, the Demon is immediately offered the swap at the start of the night, avoiding this situation completely.

Nothing.

In order for a Barber swap to occur a player must die while having a sober and healthy Barber ability. A dead player cannot die so any ability that triggers on death cannot trigger. Consequently the Demon is not notified and cannot swap any players.

That would make sense, plus their Amne-ability functions twice.

The Balloonist learns two players that are a different type than the player learned the previous night, but who are not necessarily of the same type themselves. Tomorrow night they learn a player that is a different type than both of the players they learned tonight.

Unclear. Best guess is that they can nominate four times but can still only vote twice per nomination.

The Demon is woken to make a swap, goes to sleep, then immediately wakes again to make a second swap. If the Demon changes in between swaps, then it is the new Demon making the second swap.

They could learn two evil players in one night. They would learn another player when either of those two players died. This means the Bounty Hunter has two instances of their ability from that point on - when either ping dies, they learn a new name. It is usually a good idea to show them the same player after both "client A" and "client B" die, to restore the Bounty Hunter to knowing only a single player at a time from then on.

Three.

The Bureaucrat's ability is to make a player's vote count as three votes; it does not grant additional votes, so picking the same player has no effect.

Unclear. The Butcher is written to act only after the first execution of the day so it is up to how the ST interprets this interaction.

After the first execution the ST could allow the Butcher to:

• nominate twice, potentially leading to two extra executions;
• nominate twice and execute the player with the most votes, causing just one extra execution today.

The Butler chooses two masters and can only vote if both raise their hands.

If the Damsel guess has already been used, then the Minions may attempt one more guess today. If the guess has not already been used, then they may attempt two guesses today.

However, as it is the Damsel that is told about the Barista doubling, the Minions will be unaware of the extra guess unless the Damsel announced it.

The Fearmonger can pick two players that night and nominating and executing either of them the following day will end the game.

This could potentially result in two announcements of the Fearmonger selecting new players, so the Fearmonger will want to be careful in this situation not to reveal the Barista is evil and the Fearmonger has two selections that night.

If they still have their ability, then they can die three times today, otherwise they can die twice.

If they have yet to guess then they can choose two players in one night, otherwise they can be woken to make another guess.

The ST would have to decide how they would want that to work, but it seems reasonable to run it the same way as a bone collected Juggler is run.

On their second night, the Juggler would have to be told the same number twice, which seems rather pointless. But on a later night, similar to how a bone collected Juggler is run, the Juggler who had speculatively juggled the previous night could wake to learn a new number via a Barista 2.

The Barista only has an effect when the dead outnumber the living. Once this is the case, Barista 1 gives the King true info and Barista doubling gives the King two character tokens to see.

When they learn that they have died they must pick two different players. If either player is evil then the Klutz's team loses.

If the Lleech is chosen on N1 then they choose two players, both of whom are poisoned from now on, and both must die in order for the Lleech to die. If the Lleech is chosen after N1 then they kill twice.

The Marionette would be deceived that they have two uses of the ability that they think they have. If they are Barista doubled N1 then technically the Demon should be told twice about them.

If doubled on the first night, the Mez learns two words and the first good player to say both turns evil.

On any other night, like with any once per game ability that is Barista doubled:

• if they have already used their ability, that is turned someone evil, they can turn another player turned today by getting them to say the word;
• if they have not already used it, then they can get two people to turn today.

When they learn that they have died they must pick two different players. Good aligned picks will die tonight.

No.

Doubling their ability does not mean that the Mutant can be executed twice for breaking madness; after their first madness break they would be dead and without an ability.

Two players can be picked and each is shown the Nightwatchman token. Each player is told once, not twice.

Doubling has no effect. Barista 1 ensures that they are sober and healthy and always affect voting.

If the ST really wants to do this then the Pixie is shown two in play Townsfolk who are both marked in the Grimoire.

It is inherently impossible for a player to be successfully mad about being two different characters at the same time, but they can effectively pick which of the two characters to be mad about. If sufficiently mad about being that character, they would gain their ability when the applicable player dies. If the Pixie were to later switch their madness to the other character, and had a suitably convincing reason why they might have been "bluffing" about being the first character, then if sufficiently mad about being the second character, they could gain their ability when the applicable player dies.

If the Pixie were to successfully time their madnesses, be sufficiently convincing and the ST were feeling generous then they could gain both abilities.

Effectively they act two times tonight.

If they charged last night then with their first action they must choose three players, then, with their second action, can choose to either attack one player or charge again. Otherwise, they are free to charge with their first action, in which case they must then multi-kill with their second action. If instead they choose to attack one player with their first action, then with their second action they can either single attack again or charge so that they multi-kill tomorrow.

The Psychopath can kill two people during the day, probably getting the Barista exiled immediately, but still only plays roshambo once if executed.

No, the player would be temporarily sober but the drunkenness stays on the player.

Yes, which is why the ST should probably not give a Barista 1 to the Puzzlemaster!

They can make two guesses that day if they have yet to guess, learning a player for each guess, or they can make a second guess if they already have.

Two true statements.

The Savant prompts the ST twice, and receives two sets of statements; one true and one false each. They do not receive two true statements and then two false.

The Barista doubled Philosopher is completely broken so best not to do it. However:

• if the Philo has yet to pick an ability, they gain two abilities, and potentially drunk two characters;
• if they have already used it, then they can gain an additional ability on top of their current one.

The ability/abilities gained are not doubled.

No, as they no longer have the Pit-Hag ability.

Yes.

No, the ST is not a player.

If the Poppy Grower dies while Barista doubled then Minions and Demons entertainingly learn each other twice.

A Barista one guarantees the PG would die sober and healthy, so Minions and Demons learn each other, and might make the PG believe that they would otherwise have been drunk or poisoned and that the evil team is being helped out.

Yes.

Yes.

There is no effect.

Until the Widow dies.

Yes, the doubling is a one-time effect that cannot be retroactively undone.

Yes, if the player is drunk or poisoned.

Mechanical abilities have no effect while used drunk or poisoned. For example, the poisoned Slayer targeting the Demon does not end the game. But a Barista 1 would remove the drunkeness or poisoning allowing the ability to be used successfully.

The Judge's ability wins out in that case. The day just ends without the ST nominating an opposing player. The players can account for the fact that the Judge may have interrupted a day's worth of alignment information.

If the Demon with the Banshee ability dies, they have an active Banshee ability for as long as the Boffin is alive.

The Demon gains the ability of the recently killed executee, on top of their Demon ability. If the gained ability is an alignment changing ability, while the ability is still gained the Demon cannot turn good due to this ability.

If any evil player apart from the Boffin is executed, the Demon’s Cannibal ability is poisoned, but their Demon ability remains healthy.

Yes, assuming that, as per the jinx, there is a spare token.

Note that the Demon having the VI ability has no impact on which VI is drunk, since having the ability does not make the Demon the VI. Therefore:

• the Demon can never be made drunk with the VI ability;
• in a game with one regular VI, that VI is sober.

No; the BC is the only reason the Artist would be able to use their ability while dead and they are poisoned, so their ability is not functioning.

Yes, but don't.

The ST should pretend that Drunk has the ability they think they have again until dusk.

Yes.

Crucially the Bone Collector allows a character back their ability as if they were still alive, thus the Fang Gu is treated as being able to die, which is one of the requirements for jumping, so the jump is allowed.

Yes.

No.

The Klutz and Moonchild abilities trigger when the corresponding player learns that they have died. As the player already knew that they were dead, and bone collection would have no effect on their knowledge of this, they would not need to pick again.

No, the Acrobat ability is only checked at night, so they would not die until that night.

Yes.

The Apprentice should not be given the Boomdandy ability, as it does not do anything on exile.

Yes, but this does not extend the time limit.

Yes. This is usually the only way the good team can save themselves from an accidental tie in the Boomdandy pointing. However, this requires there to have been some other reason for more than three players to be alive after the Boomdandy kills as ordinarily if there was a Butcher and two others left alive, the game would end with an evil win.

Yes, but don't allow it.

RAW the Cult Leader can call for a cult in the 10 to 1 countdown if they are still alive and did not call for a cult earlier in the day, but this should be disallowed as there is not enough time to run it.

Yes as it is not an exile.

No. The DA protects players from execution, and Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

Yes. As this hard-confirms them as the Boomdandy, it is a good idea for the Boomdandy to die in their explosion.

The only time a player can doomsay during the Boomdandy minute is if there are more than three players left alive for whatever reason as in all other cases there will only be three players living and therefore the Doomsayer has no ability.

Yes, but this does not extend the time limit.

The Fool cannot be killed twice by the Boomdandy's boom, so if their ability is unused then:

• if they are 'killed' by the boom then they will survive to a potential final four, where they will die if they are the player with the most players pointing at them;
• if they survive untouched to the final, probable, three then if they are the player with the most players pointing at they do not die and their ability is used.

Yes. However, this requires there to have been some other reason for more than three players to be alive after the Boomdandy kills as ordinarily if there was a Gangster and two others left alive, the game would end with an evil win.

No. The Goblin needs to be executed, and Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

Yes, but this is probably pointless and not advised.

At whatever point the Klutz is declared dead, the Klutz should interject to choose an alive (at that point) player.

No, as Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

Yes. The Lleech host must be alive, to keep the going, so the Lleech must live too since they can only die with their host.

No that would be an evil loss. In order to trigger a Mastermind day the Demon must be executed, and Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

No. Even though there are three players left alive at the end of the day, the Boomdandy's execution earlier that day means that the Mayor ability cannot trigger.

Yes.

No. The Pacifist saves good players specifically from execution, and Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

Yes.

No, they would have to remain alive in the final three.

No. The Saint needs to die to execution for evil to win, and Boomdandy deaths are not due to execution.

Yes, but this does not extend the time limit.

Yes, if the Boomdandy deaths happen in the right order, then the SW can become the new Demon if the previous Demon died while there were five alive. The former SW will reason that they are now the Demon.

Yes, she may act during the minute after the Boomdandy's kills are announced. As this is extraordinarily powerful in this context, the unused Slayer should probably die to the Boomdandy.

The Sweetheart makes someone drunk when they die. Usually this should be a player that is also dying to the Boomdandy ability. They could make the Boomdandy drunk to immediately stop the killing and move the game straight to night without any pointing, but this is a terrible idea as it is using an Outsider to help the good team immensely, and confirming both a good and evil player in the process.

Yes, but don't.

Yes.

The Vizier cannot die during the day to anything which would include the Boomdandy triggering. They can still be targeted by the Boomdandy and survive so become part of a final 4.

Badly.

There is no way for the Zealot to know that they have been bone collected so that they for sure have regained their ability and are obligated to spend their dead vote. If the ST allows the Bone Collector into a Zealot game then it is up to them how to reasonably run it.

The Zombuul would be single-killed by the Boomdandy ability and then there can be three other living players plus the once-dead Zombuul, so the players would need to point to the appearing-dead Zombuul to kill them. As many players died that day, the Zombuul does not get to kill tonight, so even if the pointing results in a death, the town would definitely get one more day as there will be two living players plus an appearing-dead Zombuul.

All but three players die, so there will be three other players plus the registering as dead Zombuul left alive.

The once killed Zombuul registers as dead to every ability including the Boomdandy's so survives to what appears to be a final three.

No.

The Drunk is not a Townfsolk, they only believe that they are, so they cannot be turned evil with the BH ability.

Yes, this is a [setup] ability and has already occurred.

Yes.

The Bounty Hunter can learn any evil player. If the Cult Leader is seen then, regardless of any subsequent alignment change, they would have to die in order for the BH to learn a new player.

It is not possible for the CL to be learnt N1 as they can only change alignment at the end of the night, after the BH wakes, unless the BH themself turned the CL at setup.

Yes.

No, the ST is not evil.

Yes.

If the Recluse misregisters as evil then the Bounty Hunter can learn them. This could be used for balancing the game if the Bounty Hunter is learning too many evil players.

Yes, but this is not recommended.

Yes.

Yes, it is possible for them to learn any dead evil player. The only restriction is that they cannot learn the same player twice in a row. The ST will need to consider if this is a fair move, since the BH only gets a new name when their current target dies, and the dead cannot die (unless they are first resurrected somehow), so showing them a dead evil player probably means that they will get no more info for the rest of the game.

No.

For example:

• the BH sees a Minion on N1
• that Minion is executed on D1
• the BH sees a second Minion on N2 and the first Minion is resurrected by the Al-Hadikhia
• the first Minion is executed again D2
• N3 the BH does not get a new name, as their current known evil player is still the second Minion

That player's vote counts as -3 votes tomorrow.

Yes.

They are woken and shown and an out of play Minion. Their Minion ability does not have to be the same as the Alchemist's.

ST decision.

As a new instance of the Amnesiac ability it can be completely different. However, as the Cannibal is unlikely to bingo their ability in such a small time frame, it would probably be best to continue the original Amnesiac ability so that the Amne and the Cannibal can collaborate.

If they were a good Apprentice, then the good Cannibal would gain a Townsfolk ability, likely the same one the Apprentice had, while the evil Cannibal would gain a Minion ability. If however the Apprentice was evil then the Cannibal would be poisoned and can be deceived about what they gained, but probably whatever the Apprentice was bluffing

Yes.

The Barber's ability acts on a trigger, their death, so at the start of the night the Demon is prompted to swap, then after the Cannibal dies, the Demon is prompted to swap again.

The Cannibal is shown one evil player, who could have been seen by the Bounty Hunter, but need not have been.

A Townsfolk player is not turned evil as that is only a setup effect.

The Cannibal learns when they gain the Butler ability, otherwise they could without realising break the Butler rules regarding voting.

They gain the ability of the Drunk, so the ST deceives the Cannibal that they have any Townsfolk ability, usually whatever the Drunk thought that they had.

Regardless of what ability the ST pretends they have gained, if it is mechanical it cannot have an effect on the game; if it is informational, the information is arbitrary.

Since the Cannibal is a Townsfolk, the Drunk's "you think you are a Townsfolk character" is already satisfied so there is no need for the ST to make the Cannibal believe that they are another Townsfolk.

The Cannibal gets to eat them. They have the ability of the Drunk, but they are not actually the Drunk so their main Cannibal ability works just fine.

The ST can prompt the Cannibal to choose a player, then wait for them to choose, and then choose a player.

Alternatively the ST can make the sweeping "choose a player" gesture and then hold two fingers.

If there is confusion and the ST cannot get them to start the choosing process, writing a note on a phone and showing it to the player is fine.

The ST should just run it like a regular vote.

Between the Golem and the Cannibal, it is highly likely that one will nominate and kill a player, so the Cannibal will likely know that they have the Golem ability and should not nominate again. But, in an extremely rare situation of no mechanical proof and the Golem not publicly claiming their character, it is possible for the Cannibal to accidentally break the rules. It would require:

• the Golem to be executed without proving herself mechanically;
• the Cannibal to nominate the Demon after they gain the Golem ability;
• the Cannibal to nominate on a subsequent day without any executions in between or the Golem ever admitting their identity, perhaps because they were being made mad continuously as another character.

Having nominated again, the ST should not hard confirm the Golem by denying the second nomination. It is extremely unlikely to happen, and if it does, there is not really much that can be done about it.

Yes, assuming an available Minion.

Although it would take a series of interesting events to arrive at this situation.

In the case of the Cannibal Juggler, there would have to be no new deaths by execution the day they juggled, so that they maintain their Juggler ability to find out the results of their juggle the following night. Perhaps town could kindly execute a dead or protected player, instead of someone who is going to die ...

As per the jinx, if the Juggler is executed D1 after having juggled, then the Cannibal will learn how many guesses the Juggler got correct. The Cannibal can then go on to perform their own juggle and potentially get a second number.

Yes. The Cannibal would have all of the Lunatic's ability, which means the Demon must know that player as their Lunatic, and their choices.

Yes.

They can claim to be the Cannibal with the Mutant ability, because that is not claiming an Outsider, that is claiming to be the Cannibal (who is a Townsfolk), but they are at risk of execution for any Outsider claims.

Yes.

If the executed Ogre is good, the Cannibal gains the Ogre ability so are woken tonight to pick a player and become the alignment of that player. As the Cannibal also has the Ogre's immunity to drunkenness and poisoning, any alignment flip cannot be interrupted by another ability attempting to make the Cannibal drunk or poisoned. The Cannibal does not learn their alignment, and the next time a player dies to execution, the Cannibal loses the Ogre ability but stays the alignment of the player they chose for the rest of the game.

If the executed Ogre is evil, the Cannibal is poisoned, due to the Cannibal’s ability, so does not gain the Ogre ability. The ST can deceive the Cannibal that they have a working ability and prompt them to pick a player, which will have no effect.

Not permanently. After another player is executed, they lose both the Philo ability and the ability it gained and they gain the ability of the most recent executee.

Droison loops are resolved by the involved players being droisoned. So the Cannibal drunks herself until another player dies by execution.

The Cannibal gains the Philo ability, so can choose to gain any on script ability, regardless of what the Philo chose. The Philo's gained ability does not transfer to the Cannibal. The Philo retains an "even while dead" ability if they chose one. Once the Cannibal lunches on a new executee, the ability they gained via the Philo's ability is lost. If the Cannibal dies before another player is executed then any "even while dead" ability is retained if they chose to gain one.

No.

When a new player dies from execution, the Cannibal loses the Pixie ability, and in turn loses any other ability they might have gained through it.

Realistically it is very difficult for the Cannibal to gain an ability via the Pixie ability in the first place, since it requires the marked player to die through non-execution means and the Cannibal to be sufficiently mad in the interim.

They gain the PD ability. If they die before another player is executed then the PD ability is triggered.

They wake at night and pick a player. Any Minion chosen by the Cannibal Preacher loses the use of their ability and learns that they were chosen by the Preacher.

Since preaching is a sustained effect, Minions preached with this instance of the Preacher ability regain the use of their abilities either when the Cannibal dies or after the next execution which causes the Cannibal to gain a different ability.

While the Cannibal has the Puzzlemaster ability they make someone drunk until another player dies to execution. Meanwhile, they can guess the player who has newly been made drunk and learn the Demon if successful; if they pick a player made drunk from another source, including the original Puzzlemaster, then the guess is unsuccessful.

If the Cannibal dies while still having the Puzzlemaster ability, then it means two players are Puzzlemaster drunk for the rest of the game: one due to the actual Puzzlemaster, and one due to the Cannibal Puzzlemaster.

Yes, until the next time a player dies to execution and they lose the Puzzlemaster ability.

If the Recluse misregisters as an evil Minion or Demon, then the Cannibal is poisoned and can be deceived by the ST about the ability that they gained.

If instead the Recluse registers as what they actually are, the Recluse, then the Cannibal gains the Recluse ability, meaning they can misregister as evil or as a Minion or Demon to other abilities, which arguably is already bad enough for the Cannibal!

Some STs find it acceptable to have the Recluse misregister as a good Minion or Demon, giving the Cannibal a healthy evil ability; this is generally a bad idea and not recommended.

The Cannibal's ability is still the most recently killed executee, so they only have the one ability at a time, though it may change rapidly as players nominate one another.

The Minions are woken that night and given three out of play characters which may or may not be the same ones they or the Demon received previously.

As with any info roles though, the mid game Snitch ability will activate after killers, poisoners and roles causing drunkenness have acted.

They get another three, since there is a new Snitch ability in play.

Yes, assuming they do not die tonight and are sober and healthy.

Yes, the Cannibal would be poisoned.

No it is the Cannibal's job to find out what ability she might have by talking to executed players.

Yes.

The Mez can turn a dead player and the Cannibal is a constant check, so the Cannibal would become poisoned as soon as the recently executed player turns evil.

No.

Yes, but this is up to the ST.

Nothing, unless they are the Mutant.

Cerenovus madness requires the player to make a sincere effort to convince others that they are a certain character. This could be as simple as saying "I am <character>", but it is up to the ST to judge if the player is making a genuine attempt. For sure the Mutant is an unusual case as the acutal Mutant usually does not admit to being what they are, so a player freely claiming such without being executed may not be believed and could lead town to believe that the Cerenovus is involved, which is why, although funny, making players mad as the Mutant will likely give away the Cere's existence.

The Mutant made Cerenovus mad as the Mutant is dependent on the mercy of the ST, as a madness break is unavoidable. The ST might execute with the Mutant's own ability for claiming to be the Mutant, or with the Cerenovus's for not claiming to be the Mutant. The player affected should ask the ST what their expectations are.

At any time the ST decides to do so.

If a player is executed during the day for breaking Cerenovus madness then the day immediately ends.

Whether it is fair to delay death / execution until a point when the player is no longer actively breaking madness is a matter of opinion.

If the ST thinks that she is not being mad as the Butler, she may be executed. It could happen immediately though it is almost certainly better to at least wait until the vote is finished.

No.

The Cerenovus must pick a good character, with the exception of the Goblin as per the jinx.

The Al-Hadikhia's targets do not register as waking, if they would not otherwise wake, because it is due to the Al-Hadikhia ability that they are waking.

No, as the Demon is waking due to the Boffin's ability, not their own.

Yes.

Only if they wake due to their new ability, since players waking to learn that they are a new character is not waking due to their own ability.

No, that is not waking due to their ability.

No, her waking up tonight to learn that she was chosen is solely due to the Exorcist's ability.

Yes. Learning that they are now the Evil Twin does not ping the Chambermaid, but waking due to their ability to know their twin is a Chambermaid +1. Conversely, the Good Twin learning the Evil Twin does not register to their Chambermaid.

No.

The character change and the waking was triggered by the original Fang Gu's ability, not the new instance's.

Yes, even in a zero Outsider game when the Godfather learns a 'no'.

Yes, they woke due to their ability.

The ST is allowed to deceive the Lunatic with anything that they would tell the real Demon. Since it is the Lunatic's own ability that is allowing this deception then they are waking to their own ability for the purposes of the Chambermaid.

Only in the case of the Lunatic.

The Chambermaid detects if a player woke up for their character ability, and Minion and Demon info are a function of character type, not character ability. In contrast, the Lunatic, who wakes up to receive Demon info is detected by the Chambermaid because they are not actually a Demon and did wake up due to their own ability.

Not until the dead outnumber the living. After that point he begins to wake up to receive his info and will start to register to the Chambermaid.

Yes, they woke up due to their own ability.

No, as they are waking to the Nightwatchman ability, not their own.

Yes.

No, as they are waking due to the Poppy Grower ability and not their own.

Nor does the Poppy Grower register as waking.

One. The starting SC woke to charm the Demon, then as the new Demon they killed. The starting Demon did not wake to their own ability.

Yes. The checked player was at one point in the night the Snake Charmer who woke as the Snake Charmer, which counts as waking to their own ability.

Yes, they wake to their own ability, separately from the Minion info step.

No.

The Chambermaid detects when characters wake to use their ability. Since the Demon did not use their ability to attack a player they do not ping the Chambermaid.

No, since a player learning that they have changed character is not waking to their own ability, it is just game mechanics.

Only if they wake due to their new ability.

Yes, at one point in the night they woke to an ability that was theirs at the time.

Yes. That player woke to an ability that they had at some point that night.

Yes.

The Recluse can register as good for one pair and evil for the other pair to the Chef's ability. So with this arrangement the Recluse could add zero, one or two to the Chef's number.

The Choirboy would be shown the person babysitting Lil' Monsta the rest of that night and the next day because Lil' Monsta's kill and therefore the Choirboy's information comes after the babysitter is chosen.

Yes.

When there is no way to get a step count between the Minion and the Demon, the ST shakes their head to indicate that there is no valid info.

The Recluse can register as a Minion or a Demon to make a smaller Clockmaker number than there should be, but if a Minion and a Demon were sat right next to each other the ST could not use the Recluse to give a larger number to the Clockmaker.

No. The Courtier drunks a character and if they are out of play, no one becomes drunk. While the Alchemist has a Minion ability, they are not that Minion, they are the Alchemist, so they do not become drunk.

No, the ST is not a player.

The Courtier targets a player by way of choosing a character and only the player with that character token could possibly become Courtier drunk.

No, the Courtier drunkenness does not migrate; it stays on the targeted player for the full three days. The new Demon is not made drunk, at least not by the Courtier. The Courtier essentially uses the character to choose the player.

The Lunatic is still deceived that they are the Demon, but the actual Demon does not learn the Lunatic's choices.

Assuming the Courtier remains sober, healthy and alive then: If N1 the Courtier hits the Leviathan (at which point, town actually do not know it is a Leviathan game, because making the Leviathan drunk suppresses the announcement). then only on day 4 is the announcement made, and the Leviathan has seen nothing, meaning the good team has two chances left to hit the Leviathan, or loses because of time (since it will be the end of Day 5 after the second execution). If N2 the Leviathan is drunk, then she will need to be executed on day 5 or good will lose on time/executions. If the Leviathan is drunk any later point than that, then good loses as soon as the Levi is sober.

Yes.

Yes.

This could even happen on N1 when the Cult Leader is sat between two good players.

If the Cult Leader is evil, nothing happens.

If the Cult Leader is good and is the first good player to say the Mez word, she turns evil that night at the Mezepheles's spot in the night order, assuming that the Mezepheles is still active: living, sober, healthy, not preached, ... But, the Cult Leader still has her own ability, so may then turn back to good according to her neighbours. Interestingly the Cult Leader acts after the Mez in the night order, so she may switch from good to evil, then back to good in the same night.

Yes.

No.

The Cult Leader is safe from Demon, but not their own ability, and it is their own ability that changes their alignment. That it is the Demon as their neighbour is irrelevant.

The Minions are not reinformed about the Damsel, as it is a once per game announcement. However, if there is a new Minion who has not previously been informed they would be informed.

Guesses made prior to the Damsel's bones being collected do not matter; the Minions have one more opportunity to guess the Damsel. The Damsel who outted after dying will watch on in terror as the Bone Collector comes into town ... but starting with one in town the Damsel will know to hide.

Their spot in the night order is when they would change character in the case of a successful Huntsman guess.

No.

No. The Damsel was in the game at the time of the guess so that uses up the guess for that instance of the Damsel ability.

While the Philo lives, the Minions must guess the Philo as the Damsel. Guessing any other player, including the Damsel, as the Damsel uses up the guess, which is not refreshed upon the death of the Philo.

Note that had the Philo chosen the Damsel ability after the Damsel guess had been used up, then, as a fresh instance of the Damsel ability, the Minions would have gained a new Damsel guess.

No, the ST is not a Minion.

The Damsel is an Outsider so cannot be resurrected by the Professor.

The Cannibal's team loses.

When the Cannibal is on the script it is safer for the Damsel player to not reveal their true identity until after the next execution.

Two or three:

• two if the Damsel is one of the regular base two Outsiders
• three if the Damsel replaces a Townsfolk, i.e. adding the Damsel with the Huntsman on top of the normal Outsider count.

Most players prefer it if the Damsel replaces one of the regular Outsiders rather than a Townsfolk for fun and balance purposes, but it is fine to do it sometimes.

No, they may have a Minion ability, but they are not a Minion.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

No, it is a once per game announcement.

But any newly created Minions who were not previously informed are now told. This can result in a very bad day for the evil team if the Damsel is swapped with a Minion, as the good ex-Damsel-now-Minion knows somewhere there is an evil Damsel and, based on whether they are told that the Damsel is in play, would know whether the evil now-Damsel is alive or not and whether they can therefore be guessed to win the game.

No.

No, they are not actually a Minion, nor can they guessing the Damsel have any effect.

Yes, unless the Damsel is drunk due to the Puzzlemaster's setup ability.

Puzzlemaster drunkenness would prevent the Minions learning the Damsel, as the Damsel is drunk during N1 setup. Other sources of drunkenness / poisoning act after the Minion info step in the night order so cannot prevent the Minions learning the Damsel.

With that understood, using the Puzzlemaster to make the Damsel drunk is not recommended, since as an Outsider the Puzzlemaster is supposed to hinder the good team, not harm the evil team by removing a win condition.

No.

The Marionette does not learn the Damsel is in play. Otherwise they would quickly determine that they are a Minion.

No. After becoming the Imp, the Devil's Advocate became out of play so the protection is gone.

The Zombuul survives the execution and the game continues.

The Zombuul was alive when they were chosen by the DA so the pick was valid. The DA is never prompted to choose again when their pick dies the same night and the Zombuul is no exception. When the town decide to execute a corpse, or at least what is one from their perpective, the DA protection is usually irrelevant, but in this case the living Zombuul survives thanks to the protection. Importantly the survival is not announced with the ST just announcing that the player is executed before putting the town to sleep. Town will then believe that a corpse was executed who did not die since corpses do not die, so hiding the Zombuul's survival.

A new instance of the DA, created via the Barber swap, is free to choose whomever they want, which could be the same player the previous DA chose.

No, so evil players must be careful when doomsaying with a Vizier in play since they either kill their own Demon as the only remaining evil option to die or have no one die because the ST targets the Vizier with the Doomsayer ability.

No.

Good characters are defined as Outsiders and Townsfolk, while evil characters are defined as Minions and Demons. The Recluse is always a good character.

Yes.

The ST could choose to misregister the Recluse as a Minion or a Demon and show the corresponding token to the Dreamer. The good character token shown can then be any good character from the script.

Yes, the Dreamer's only restriction is not themself and not Travellers. Picking the same player would likely result in the ST giving them the same answers, unless the Demon switches to/from the Vortox or drunkenness / poisoning is involved.

The Dreamer must see a good character and an evil character, but Travellers are neither good characters nor evil characters so it is impossible to satisfy the constraints of the Dreamer's ability and for the Dreamer to learn the Traveller's character.

Additionally, it would making confirming the Vortox far too easy.

No.

The Drunk who believes they are the Ravenkeeper is woken when they die.

Yes.

Yes.

The Drunk registers as drunk to any abilities that are concerned with drunkenness. So the sober and healthy Acrobat picking the living Drunk will die.

Technically they are the Drunk, but not drunk, but STs will treat this as the same for info. If the ST wanted to treat this as differently for the purposes of other info gatherers then they can do so but should make this clear to their players.

If the Engineer causes the Alchemist to have an in play Minion ability, then the Alchemist will need to swap to an out of play one. Otherwise, since the Alchemist is not a Minion, they just have the ability of one, they are unaffected by the Engineer.

The current babysitter becomes that Demon instead of whatever character they were previously.

Yes, the former Demon becomes an out of play Minion of the ST's choice and is babysitting Lil' Monsta.

Legion and the Engineer cannot both be in play at the start of the game. If the Engineer creates Legion, most players (including all evil players) become evil Legion.

Additionally, as Demon and Minion info has past, the Legion players will not all know each other.

One of the Minions is informed that they have become a Townsfolk or Outsider and are treated as such. They are not told nothing about their alignment as it has not changed.

The former Mario is shown the "you are" info token and their new Minion character. They would be told nothing about their alignment as it has not changed.

No, the ex PH remains an evil Townsfolk. The Engineer does not change character types; the ST accepts however many Minions she picks to not make it obvious, but only makes use of the first few. so the Engineer would simply fail to create whatever Minion she chose.

Yes, but don't.

Registering the Recluse as a Minion or as the Demon could cause them to be changed by the Engineer, or affect which characters are changed. But the Recluse is an Outsider so it is best not to use their ability like this.

Yes.

This could be a fun move after N3 since aside from learning three out of play characters the new Summoner would not have an ability, since summoning can only happen on N3.

The new Evil Twin player is paired with an opposing player and they both learn each other.

The Evil Twin is shown the Drunk token for their twin, not what the Good Twin thinks they are.

If the ST believes that it is not feasible to show the Drunk token to the Evil Twin without the Good Twin seeing it then the Twins can be woken separately.

The Sweetheart drunk player who is turned into the Evil Twin would learn wrong info, but would not cause anyone else to wake though, so only the drunk ET would get wrong info in this scenario.

Yes.

The Evil Twin, regardless of alignment, always knows the character of their twin.

No. The Twins only change if the alignment of one of them changes. It is allowable to have a dead twin.

Evil.

Win conditions due to character abilities trump normal game win conditions: when an ability game end condition and a regular game end condition are satisfied simulataneously, the ability wins out, so the Evil Twin win condition of the Good Twin being executed while the ET lives trumps the good team's regular win condition of no living Demons.

In this scenario, there are two paths to victory for the good team:

1. assuming there are at least four alive, the Evil Twin dies, either executed or killed by the good Demon, removing the Evil Twin ability, then the Good Twin Demon can safely die, again either by execution or self-killing, removing the last Demon from the game.
2. the good Demon self-kills at night, assuming they are not the Pukka - no more living Demons and the Evil Twin ability is nullified.

Nothing. The ST is free to simulate what happens when the actual Demon is picked or they can completely ignore it.

Yes. Anything that the Demon could be told based on the characters on the script can be told to the Lunatic to aid with their deception that they are the Demon.

The Lunatic can be told that they were exorcised when the Exorcist:

• picked them;
• did not pick them;
• is not even in play.

A fake exorcism means that the Demon does not learn of the Lunatic's choice(s), because the Lunatic did not make any. The Demon would not know why this is, as it is indistinguishable from the Lunatic just being drunk or poisoned that night.

The ST can show any player as the Exorcist, true or not, to the Lunatic, but the ST must be cautious: if the Exorcist is in play they might publicly claim who they picked, and if this differs to what the Lunatic was told, then this could be detrimental to the evil team.

No. The Philosopher gains an Outsider ability, but does not become an Outsider.

No, the Fang Gu jump is uniquely a global once per game occurrence, not a once per instance of the character ability.

Yes, the Recluse would just die instead.

In that instance, the Fang Gu has to jump, because the Recluse would be unable to register as anything other than the Recluse, an Outsider.

Yes.

If the Fang Gu attacks the Spy misregistering as an Outsider then they can pass the Demonhood to their Minion.

If it is the first Outsider the Fang Gu has killed, then yes.

The Farmer dying would cause two good living players to become Farmers.

Only if that player woke up due to their ability prior to becoming the Farmer, otherwise no, as changing character is not waking to their ability.

No, as they are already dead.

Yes. The previous Farmer player is not drunk as they are not choosing the Goon with the Farmer ability, the ST is.

Yes, because they are now a Farmer and therefore no longer have the Grandmother ability causing them to die. If the Grandmother instead dies to her ability then she is no longer a legitimate new Farmer choice.

If the Leviathan is in play and a Farmer dies by execution, a good player becomes a Farmer that night.

Yes, as there is no longer a Lycanthrope ability in play to block the Demon.

No. As far as the Mathematician is concerned that player is the Farmer and their ability is working fine.

Yes. This could even cause the Mayor to become a Farmer.

Yes.

The ST can pick a side, but since Fearmonger wins are rare, it should be an evil win.

Yes but don't.

The ST can pick which side wins, but it would be harsh on the good team to have the Fearmonger executed Spy misregister, so it would be best to have evil lose.

Yes but don't, as this is then the ST picking the winner.

Yes, but the ST should not do this as presumably the evil team worked hard to get the Fearmonger target executed and deserve the win!

No. The Sweetheart's team loses before the drunkenness happens.

No.

The nomination must specifically be the cause of the execution in order for the Fearmonger to trigger.

No.

The Fearmonger is completely neutralised since they cannot nominate in order to satisfy their ability. This combination of characters is best avoided.

Evil wins.

The Fearmonger ability trumps the Demons are dead win condition.

Outside of some exceptions where good could never win otherwise, ability wins trump normal game wins.

Yes, the Fiddler overrides everything.

RAW, they do not work together, seeing as the majority of players are Legion.

A reasonable house rule is to run the Fiddler vote with Legion rules: if only evil voted, then the vote counts for zero. The best solution is to use the Legion ability to kill down to three players with one Legion alive, then run the last day using what time is available.

No.

The Fisherman gets whatever the ST wants to give them which can be as specific or vague as they want. Misregistration can affect it if the ST wants, and the Vortox must affect it.

Yes, a Demon had their hand up so it counts.

Yes, but not today.

Travellers can only be called to exile once per day, similar to how non-Travellers can only be nominated once per day. Since an exile is treated as the death of a Traveller, the Apprentice Fool's ability is triggered and the survive the first successful exile. As they are now the spent Apprentice Fool, they will not survive the next exile that passes.

No.

Nothing.

Changing character type or holding Lil' Monsta does not turn a player evil, so the condition of the Fortune Teller's ability, a good player registers as the Demon, is still satisfied.

While drunk or poisoned they can be told a yes or no regardless of who they picked, unless it is a Vortox game.

The Gambler dies.

Yes, if the Recluse misregisters as a Minion or Demon, then they do not register as the Recluse to the Gambler's ability, therefore an incorrect gamble that kills the Gambler.

Gambling on the Recluse is more of a gamble than other gambles, as the ST can always just kill the Gambler if the gamestate warrants it.

Yes.

No.

Yes, and their ability is used.

Depends on what was declared first:

• if the Gangster shot first, the Psychopath is dead and cannot axe the Gangster;
• if the Psycho axed first, the Gangster is dead and cannot shoot.

Should they declare simultaneously then it is not possible for both to die together, since one ability must resolve before the other, causing the other to be nullified. If it cannot be decided who acted first then decide via coin flip, roshambo or ST fiat.

No.

Yes.

No.

No, the Gangster's choice is not a nomination.

No, the Gangster's choice is not a nomination.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution, so the Mastermind's ability is not triggered and the good team wins.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution, and the Good Twin must be executed to trigger the Evil Twin's win condition.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution, and the Saint must die by execution to trigger evil's win condition.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution, and the Minion needs to have died by execution to trigger the Minstrel's ability.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

No, the Gangster's kill is not an execution.

No, a Gangster kill is not an execution.

The nominator dies straightaway, before the Gnome has the option to kill them.

The ST must acknowledge that the Amigo has been nominated before the Gnome can kill the nominator, but if the nominator was the Witch cursed player then they are instantly announced as having died, before the Gnome can react. This makes it obvious to all that it was not the Gnome that caused the death.

Yes.

The Goblin just cares about being executed to trigger their win condition. Dying as a result of the execution is unnecessary.

Only in the special case were they were killed by the Vigormortis so still have their ability. Otherwise no, as the dead Goblin has no ability so is unable to trigger their win condition.

No, as the Goblin is a Minion and only Townsfolk can trigger the Virgin.

Yes.

The Godfather gets to kill if any Outsider died, even one that did not exist at the start of the game.

Yes.

The ST could do that, but STs should generally not use Outsiders to hinder evil, at least not during N1.

The Godfather could probably figure out that that means the Recluse is in play, unless there is other Outsider manipulation in play, or they might suspect that they are drunk or poisoned so mistrust their info.

Yes. Doing this during setup would be an Outsider ability hurting evil so not recommended. But the ST might want to do this after the Spy is executed to give the evil team an extra Godfather kill.

Yes, just as the Vigormortis's modifier is -1 in a base zero Outsider game.

No.

The ST is not a player that can die and, canonically, they are already dead. Moreover, in an Atheist game the ST must be executed and the Golem kill is not an execution; the nomination should now be run the same way as if a non-Golem had nominated.

No.

The DA only protects against death by execution and the Golem's nominee is not dying as a result of an execution, so the nominee dies, assuming that they are not the Demon and there are no other sources of protection.

Yes, and their ability is used.

No, the Golem's nominee is not dying as a result of an execution.

Yes, as it is a new instance of the ability.

Yes.

Nothing.

While for practical reasons the SW only formally learns that they are the Demon at the start of the following night, they become the Demon the instance the former Demon is slayed, so cannot die to the Golem's ability.

Yes, successfully simulating the Golem.

No.

Yes.

No. The Vizier's ability states that they cannot die during the day.

If the Golem is cursed by the Witch, is sober and healthy and nominates a non-Demon, both players would die immediately. This includes if the Witch was the nominated player.

No, the Balloonist can safely see the Goon without any consequences.

Since the Balloonist does not pick players, with the ST deciding who they see, the Goon is untriggered, since their ability requires a player to pick them.

The Barber swap happens normally with no alignment flipping or drunkenness.

The Goon's ability is not triggered since it reads "the first player to choose you with their ability", and the Demon player is picking them with the Barber's ability.

Yes, the Goon changes alignment irrespective of whether they manage to drunk the responsible player.

No, nor do they cause any drunking, as the Boomdandy is not choosing the Goon with their ability.

No. The BH being shown the Goon is not choosing the Goon with their ability, so they cannot be made drunk or flip the Goon.

If the Courtier is the first to pick the Goon that night, the Courtier is drunk and the ability is spent, while the Goon turns/stays good and is not made drunk. 

No, as the Empath is not using their ability to directly choose the Goon.

If the Fang Gu is the first to pick the Goon tonight, the Goon becomes evil and the Fang Gu becomes drunk.

If the Goon has already been picked and the FG has yet to jump this game, the FG dies and the Goon becomes a new evil Fang Gu.

If the Goon has already been picked and the once per game FG jump has already happened, then the Goon just dies.

No.

The Golem picks during the day, meaning that no part of the Goon's ability can trigger so the Goon dies with whatever alignment they currently have.

Yes.

Gossip kills are chosen by the ST not a player, so if the Gossip makes a true statement and the ST kills off the Goon with the Gossip ability, no part of the Goon's ability, drunkenness or alignment flipping, is triggered; the Goon just dies.

Assuming that the Harlot was the first player to choose the Goon tonight then:

1. the Harlot becomes drunk;
2. the Goon becomes / remains the Harlot's alignment and is informed if they flipped alignment;
3. the Goon is not asked if they want to reveal their character to the Harlot;
4. optionally, the ST can pretend to the Harlot that their ability is working by showing them any character for the Goon.

The Goon remains / becomes evil and the Harpy is drunk, meaning that there is no Harpy madness and their first pick is not woken.

No, as the King is not actively choosing the Goon with their ability.

The Lleech is drunk until dusk and the Goon turns evil, but is still the host.

The Goon never becomes poisoned by the Lleech and, despite being the host, and retains their ability for the whole game to flip alignment and cause drunkenness on other nights, unless they become drunk or poisoned via another source.

Being drunk D1, the Lleech will not die if the Goon dies, but the drunkenness only lasts until dusk so tomorrow the Lleech becomes sober and the sober and healthy Lleech will die if their Goon host is ever dead.

They just become the babysitter.

The Goon is not being chosen with a player's own ability, so the Goon's ability is not triggered.

Yes, as the Goon's ability functioned abnormally.

If the Goon is evil, then nothing happens, but the good Goon would flip evil without making the Mezepheles drunk.

If the good Goon is the first good player to say the Mez word then they turn evil that night, independently of their own ability, at the Mezepheles's spot in the night order, assuming the Mezepheles is still active: living, sober, healthy, not preached, ... This does not drunk the Mez as they have not actively chosen the Goon player with their ability; it is the Goon that has actively triggered the Mez ability.

The now evil Goon can still be turned good the same night if a good player is the first to pick them, thereby flipping the Goon's alignment twice in the same night.

No.

The Goon only drunks the first player who chooses them with their ability each night. The Minstrel never chooses the Goon, and so the Goon does not make the Minstrel drunk.

If the Goon was good at the time of the choice they die to the Moonchild, otherwise nothing happens.

The Moonchild pick happens during the day while the Goon ability can only ever be triggered at night, so if the Goon is picked while good and the Moonchild is sober, healthy and still dead then the Goon will die, even if they are flipped evil before the kill is triggered.

The Nightwatchman becomes drunk and the Goon does not learn who the Nightwatchman is.

Amusingly, they swap alignments.

The Ogre's ability works through drunkenness so they still flip to the Goon's current alignment and the Goon flips to the Ogre's previous alignment. The Goon learns their new alignment while the Ogre does not.

The Goon makes the Philo drunk and becomes / remains the Philo's alignment.

The Philo's once per game ability is used and they have failed to gain the Goon's ability. While in theory the ST could deceive the Philo that they gained the ability by simulating an alignment flip, the ST is advised not to lie to a player about their alignment as it tends not to be fun.

No.

The player was targeted as their previous character, not as the Goon, so the Goon ability, which was not even in play, could not be triggered. So the good player just changes character, but should they be targeted by a second player tonight then, as they are now the Goon, the second player becomes drunk and the Goon will become their alignment.

The PH becomes drunk and the Goon turns/stays evil.

Whether the chosen character was already in play is unimportant, the Goon's ability is about a player choosing them not whether the choice has an effect.

Nothing.

Since the Goon is in play the attempted character change fails. Additionally, the Pit-Hag does not become drunk and there is no possible alignment flip for the Goon since this requires the actual Goon player to be chosen, as in to be actively pointed to by another player.

If the Pit-Hag had attempted to turn the Goon into the Goon then, as the Goon has been pointed to, the Pit-Hag would have become drunk and the Goon would turn / stay evil.

No. The Psychopath kills during the day and the Goon's ability only works at night, so the Goon dies with their current alignment and does not make the Psychopath drunk.

If the Goon has already been chosen tonight then they become poisoned and the previously poisoned player dies then becomes healthy. Tomorrow night, the Goon will die.

If the Pukka was first to choose the Goon tonight then no part of the Pukka's ability affects the Goon, so:

• the Goon turns / remains evil and the Pukka becomes drunk;
• being drunk the Pukka fails to poison the Goon, so physically the ST does not place the Pukka's poison reminder token next to the Goon in the Grimoire;
• for as long as the Pukka is drunk the previously poisoned player, if there is one, is temporarily healthy and does not die until the Pukka becomes sober, leading to at least one night, tonight, without any Demon kills.

Yes.

Regurgitation, if the ST opts for it to happen, always occurs before the Shab kills so before there is a chance for the Goon to make the Demon drunk.

The good team wins which, sadly for the Goon does not include them:

1. the Summoner is immediately drunk;
2. the Goon turns evil and does not become the Demon;
3. no Demon in the game means good wins.

Yes.

If there is already an extra evil player and the Spirit of Ivory is in play then when the Goon's ability is triggered by an evil player, the Goon stays good. However, the evil player that chose the Goon still becomes drunk, since the alignment flipping and the drunkenness are independent.

No.

The Tea Lady is not choosing the Goon so cannot affect their alignment. However, the Goon's alignment does affect whether the Tea Lady's protection is in effect; if the Goon becomes evil, then the protection is disabled for both them and the other neighbour.

The Widow is immediately drunk and has no ongoing poisoning effect for the entire game while the Goon turns evil but remains healthy.

Since the Widow is drunk no Widow ping goes out tonight. Only when the Widow becomes sober and healthy at a later time are they announced to be in play to a good player. Should the Widow die before they become sober and healthy then no announcement is ever made.

Since the Goon was not made permanently poisoned their ability functions normally so they may flip alignment on a future night.

No, the Minion is not choosing the Goon with their ability.

Yes. The Gossip could even become the Farmer themself.

Yes. This is obviously context dependent because killing an evil player helps the good team, but it may potentially lend credulity to an evil player, helping the evil team, and is unexpected, making the game more interesting.

A good use of this would be to hide the fact that an evil player was picked by the Moonchild. In this scenario the Moonchild is not, and should not, messing up the Gossip's info, but the Gossip is messing up the Moonchild info, which is fine.

Yes.

Should the Recluse misregister to the Gossip then any true gossip involving the Recluse, Outsider count, etc. could be made false and vice versa. A gossip of "there are two Demons in play" could be true if the Recluse registers as a Demon to the Gossip. Similarly, gossiping that "<player> is evil" could be true if it is a gossip made about the Recluse.

Yes. The Demon must kill the Grandchild in order for the Grandmother to attack themself. In this case, the Gambler is dead and cannot be killed again.

Yes, but probably don't.

No.

The Gunslinger does not work with the Organ Grinder, and it is recommended not to have them on the same script.

No.

Yes.

At any point during the day or night until the Harpy picks again, although typically during the day.

The ST can choose to punish a madness break immediately or delay the death. Nighttime breaks, similar to how the Cerenovus is run, can be punished at night. Daytime breaks should usually cause daytime deaths, but it is permitted to kill the corresponding player(s) at night resulting in an annoucement of their death in the morning, so hiding the exact cause of death.

Furthermore, there is no requirement that when both targets die that they die together; one could die then, as long as madness is still being broken, the other die at a different time.

Note that the Harpy's ability specifies that the madness lasts for all of 'tomorrow', which the game defines as the following day and night. So from the moment that the Harpy chooses, the first target must be mad that the second target is evil until the Harpy makes their next choice: if tomorrow night they admit to the madness before the Harpy has picked then that would constitute a madness break which can be punished.

No, the text says "dead", not "executed", so the day continues, unlike deaths caused by the Cerenovus.

No, they are not a Minion so unaffected by the Hatter.

No, it is not their own ability causing them to wake.

No.

Nothing, as per the jinx.

All evil players become Legion, as per the jinx.

No, as per the jinx.

The babysitter chooses a different Demon to become or they can opt to remain as Lil' Monsta by picking a Minion.

If the Demon chooses Lil' Monsta then they also choose a Minion to become and babysit Lil' Monsta tonight.

When the Hatter dies, the ST should probably wake the affected players separately.

RAW yes, but RAI they probably should not.

Even though the Marionette has a "you think" ability, the fact that they are a Minion overrides this and, similar to being preached, this hard confirms to them that they are the Marionette. So when the Hatter dies the Mario is woken and given the opportunity to swap character. Additionally, if the evil team is woken together as the Hatter's ability specifies, then the Mario would learn the entire evil team, but this can be avoided by having everyone wake separately.

As this arguably goes against the spirit of the Mario's ability, the ST can home rule it otherwise. One solution is to let the Demon decide their Marionette's fate.

When the Hatter dies and the Demon and Minions still do not know each other, the ST should probably wake the affected players separately.

Yes, but don't as this is unlikely to be fun.

The Hatter ability is immediate, similar to the Barber:

• If the Hatter dies during the day, they use their ability before any other character.
• If the Hatter dies at night, they use their ability immediately. The night order is only a reminder.

Each Minion and Demon chooses their role, one after the other, knowing the previous choices.

The good team.

If the Heretic is the most recently killed executee and the Cannibal has their ability at the point the game ends, there are two Heretic abilities in play that reverse the win and reverse it again, so the original winners win. There was no period of time between the Demon's execution and the game ending for the Cannibal to lose their Heretic ability and make win conditions flipped again.

The concensus is that good wins.

The game ended at the point when the Heretic was executed and the Cannibal did not have the Heretic ability. This results in a final two where the Demon is alive, so an evil win, that is then flipped by the only Heretic ability in play to a good win. There was no period of time between the execution and the game ending for the Cannibal to gain the Heretic ability, giving rise to two Heretic abilities that cancel each other out, making win conditions normal again.

This is a reasonable interpretation, but as there is no definitive ruling this may be dependent on what the ST and the group decides is best.

Because otherwise in a base two Outsiders game with the Baron and only four Outsiders on the script, the evil team can know for sure that the Heretic is in play, and then the Demon can kill themself and win.

No.

The ST has control over the kills when the Ojo picks an out of play character so can simulate what would happen in a Heretic game, by choosing to sink the kill into a dead player after the second attack in a non-Heretic game.

The first time the Ojo attacks the Heretic, a player dies:

• when the Heretic is in play, the Heretic dies.
• when the Heretic is out of play, the ST should kill an arbitrary player.

The second time the Ojo attacks the Heretic, no one dies:

• when the Heretic is in play, there is no death, since a dead character cannot die again;
• when the Heretic is out of play, the ST should sink the kill.

With the outcome the same for both the Heretic and non-Heretic game there is no confirmation for the Ojo.

Yes. The Poisoner being executed means the Heretic is no longer poisoned, and since the evil win condition is satisfied in a Heretic game, good wins.

No, the ST is not a player, so cannot be learned as a player to talk to.

The only restriction is that the ST does not give the one player that they would have given if it was not a Vortox game. It does not have to be the least helpful player to talk to.

ST choice, but players tend to prefer an existing Outsider is swapped.

It is legal to add an extra Outsider on top of the base count, which the ST might want to do depending on how weak or strong the good and evil characters in play are, or just to be occasionally unpredictable. But generally the Huntsman does not, as it makes the Huntsman a [+1 Outsider] ability which does seem a terrible Townsfolk ability.

Yes.

The Monk protected player is safe from the Demon, protecting against harmful effects such as death, poison, or turning evil. Changing characters, including becoming the Demon, is not a harmful effect so the Imp can successfully pass to a Minion even when Monk protected.

However, if the Monk protects the Imp who attempts to self-kill, the Imp does not die and the jump is blocked.

No, unless there is an active Scarlet Woman ability.

The Scarlet Woman must become the new Demon if their ability is active (alive, sober, healthy and 5+ alive players), as that is the entire point of their ability. Otherwise, it is the ST's choice which living Minion becomes the Imp from the Imp's ability.

Another Minion cannot be prioritised over the SW as that would lead to two Demons: one created by the Imp ability, and one from the SW ability which still triggers because the Demon died.

No, that is the ST's choice. The evil team can of course inform the ST of a plan they have involving the starpass landing on a specific Minion, and the ST may choose to aid that plan, but the ST is not obligated to do so.

Yes.

Yes, kills bounced by the Mayor count as having come from the original source, so it would be as if the Imp targeted themself.

No, only a Minion, or perhaps a Recluse misregistering as a Minion.

No, their alignment is unchanged.

The order of the Shab's choices matters and characters die, if they can, as they are chosen. So the Innkeeper dies the moment they are chosen and any protection and drunking they are the source of leaves the Grimoire immediately.

Yes, and this is a common occurrence.

The ST is free to show the Investigator any Minion from the script and then point to the Recluse and any other player.

Yes.

The Investigator learning a 'no' will know that the Spy is in play, but will not know who it is. However, while this is legal it is generally not recommended as it is not much fun; just let the Investigator see the Spy.

The Judge can force through whatever nomination the Fearmonger makes even if it gets zero votes. For this reason it is not recommended to have the Judge as a Traveller option on a Fearmonger script.

Yes.

The Judge forces a nomination to pass or fail, which is completely independent of the vote count, so the Judge can force a vote on the Organ Grinder to pass even if the Organ Grinder did not vote.

No one, but the new Juggler as a new instance of the ability can juggle the following day, as that is their "first day", and if they somehow live long enough will get a number on the third night.

They must juggle during the day, when they are dead and have no ability, and then the following night when they are bone collected they get their info.

So if the Juggler is expecting to be bone collected then they should juggle today and get their info tonight.

No.

When using a public ability the player must specify the ability being used. The Juggler claiming to be the Gossip and making a Juggler consistent gossip will not get any info tonight.

Yes.

Yes, although arguably a bad idea.

Part of the Recluse's ability is "each time the Recluse is targeted by an ability that detects or affects evil characters, choose which character and alignment the Recluse registers as." Each juggle is evaluated individually so the Recluse can be seen as whatever is being checked each time.

The ST should probably not give the Recluse this much confirmation, but if the Recluse was part of a more complicated set of juggles then misregistration could obfuscate the other juggles.

ST decision.

Either:

• they wake to receive a number, zero in a non-Vortox game, anything but zero if it is;
• they do not wake at all.

The decision depends on how the Juggler ability is interpreted which states that they must Juggle publicly to get a number. The Juggler who states that they would like to juggle then juggles nothing is performing a Vortox check.

The ST should clarify how they run it.

This can be ruled either way:

• even if they do not claim Juggler they can still get information.
• the "public" aspect of Juggler requires an actual claim in Town Square and no claim means no info.

These are both legitimate rulings, and can make a difference in a Vortox game. The ST should clarify how they run this.

They are not.

The Balloonist's setup effect can be duplicated by the Kazali's, so the Balloonist is a valid pick.

No, nothing happens.

No. As per the jinx, an evil Townsfolk is only created if the BH remains in play after the Kazali acts.

Yes.

But players who wake to learn that they are now a Minion do not, as that is waking to the Kazali's ability, not their own.

No, they would only learn about the Damsel if they remain unpicked, and after the Kazali has made all her Minion picks.

No, the Kazali acts before all such characters.

As per the jinx, the Goon becomes evil and the Minion the Kazali chose. The Kazali is now drunk for the rest of N1 so any remaining Minion picks are ignored by the ST who decides the rest of the evil team herself. During Minion info, when the Kazali is told their true Minions, they will likely guess what happened.

After she has picked her Minions.

Technically the Lunatic ability requires this, but the ST is free to choose that they do not. They certainly do not learn what characters the Lunatic chose for their Minions.

The ST should put the Kazali to sleep when waking each Minion to tell them their character has changed, then show both the Demon and the Magician during the Minion info step.

Yes, she must choose one of her neighbours though.

No.

[Setup effects] always happen before any other start of game effects such as the Puzzlemaster's, so the Kazali's [You choose which players are which Minions] setup ability happens before deciding who is made drunk by the Puzzlemaster.

The Spirit of Ivory is about the creation of extra evil players, specifically there can be no more than one extra. The players turned evil by the Kazali are not extra, they are considered to be part of the normal evil count.

Yes.

Before.

No, the ST may have that Minion's ability but they are not that character.

Characters that are out of play or already dead.

Yes.

No. The Drunk believing that they are the King is not the King. On the other hand, the King who on their first night is drunk or poisoned does not alert the Demon until they are sober and healthy.

No. The Marionette believing that they are the King is not the King.

Yes. Their countdown will restart if the game is continuing. So it would look like this:

1. ST: <Klutz> dies. 3... 2...
2. Klutz: I claim Klutz and pick <player>.
3. ST: The game continues. 3... 2...

No.

The Klutz and the Moonchild abilities are both triggered when the player learns that they have died. As they were already dead and knew it before the swap, they do not make a pick. If they had gone to sleep alive and then learnt that they were dead then they would have to make a pick.

No.

Legion registers as a Minion and the Demon simultaneously, so the Knight cannot learn Legion players.

No, the ST is not a player. However, if the Atheist is in play then the ST breaking the rules can be shown.

ST choice; it depends on how the Recluse registers.

Since Legion also register as Minions, the Balloonist can bounce between Legion players who alternately register as Demons and Minions.

No, Legion players never wake from their own ability.

Yes.

Legion players register as Minions so are informed of the Damsel and may guess the Damsel.

When the Exorcist picks a Legion player, that player learns the Exorcist, but deaths due to Legion are not prevented that night as Legion does not wake.

Yes, regardless of whether the vote tally ends up being zero.

While Legion does register as an arbitrary Minion character at all times this is simulataneous to them being 'the Demon' so a voting Legion player cannot escape detection by the Flowergirl.

Yes, plus they still have a Red Herring.

No, they register as both a Demon and a Minion simultaneously.

No, the Investigator can never see Legion; Legion registers as a Minion, but the Legion character is not a Minion character.

No, the Legion player can register as a specific Minion that is not the one juggled.

The ST can show as many Legion as she wishes that the King is in play. At least one Legion player is recommended.

Yes.

The Lunatic can see the Legion token whatever Demon is in play. As the Lunatic Legion believes that they a non-waking Demon they are never woken, so the Demon will not learn any Lunatic picks.

Yes.

If the Preacher chooses Legion, Legion keeps their ability, but the Preacher might learn they are Legion.

Yes, drunk or poisoned players can be told false info based on jinxes.

Yes but don't. The evil team would not appreciate an Outsider ability being used to expose everyone who voted.

The Sage learns "two players, one of which is the Demon who killed them". So the ST can show any Legion player as the one that killed the Sage and any other player (including another Legion). The only illegal option is to show two non-Legion players.

Yes, but this would be in addition to registering as a Demon, not instead of, so the Legion player will stay die.

Legion registers as both Legion and an arbitrary Minion at all times, with said Minion misregistration only overriding their normal registration if an ability forces a collapse into one state or the other. In the case of the Slayer, it has no effect since the Slayer ability does not have any exclusive interactions with Minions; as such, they still get killed for registering as the Demon.

The Snake Charmer becomes Legion, and the Legion who was chosen becomes a poisoned Snake Charmer.
