Role Changes

Standard

Guard Dog

New

Alpha Wolf

This change aims to add counterplay and visibility to the Alpha Wolf. Currently there is no way to know that a player's faction may have changed until the Alpha Wolf dies, which is often too late.

• Conversion now replaces the Werewolf attack instead of being a separate targeted ability.

• Conversion no longer requires the player to be Town.

Bard

The bard archetype is a core part of so many fantasy worlds, but for us they are a rarely used hyper-specific mess of a role. This new bard simplifies their abilities so that they can become a staple Town Manipulation role. This initial rework is only the start, as there may be space in the future for the bard to give charges to abilities or resources.

• Ultimate removed.

• Is now permanently frail.

• Now enhances a player each night.

• Players cannot be enhanced on consecutive nights.

Chronomancer

Rework

• Now speeds up time for a single player during discussion, instead of the entire Town.

• Can now speed up time every day.

• Speeding up time no longer causes the Chronomancer to perish.

• Bribe now has 1 charge.

• Bribe no longer redirects abilities used to the Evil you are meeting with.

• Bribe now offers a player the choice to convert a player to Lesser Evil if they accept.

Rework

• Now has permanent defense.

• Now converts to a Lesser Evil if attacked.

• No longer ignites players.

• Now attacks any players that attack the player he is protecting.

Adjusted

Tormentor

Rework

• Torment no longer redirects abilities used by a player onto the Tormentor.

• If Torment is used on a player that is not Town, it enhances them for the night.

The Blob

Rework
