Not open for further replies.
In an effort to consolidate, I'm going to list all the roles / potential roles along with DETAILED role information. In future games you would just get a PM from me that says "Your role is XXXX".

Strong Villagers:

Bully

Aura: Unknown
During the day, can hit a player with a rock and give them a concussion. Selection of a player to concuss is made via daytime PM. A player who is concussed will not be able to use their abilities during that day or the subsequent night. If the shadow wolf is in effect, a concussed player cannot vote. If a player is hit with a rock a second time, they will be killed. If the bully kills a player, the bully's role will be revealed to the entire village. The bully can only shoot a rock once per day. The bully gets 4 rocks in total.

Conjuror
Aura: Unknown
Can speak with the dead in a dead forum at night. During the day, can take on the role, powers, and abilities of any dead village team player for use that day, that night, and the following day. During the following day, the Conjuror may choose to immediately take on another dead player's role or wait for the day to end and revert to Conjuror. The Conjuror will lose the ability to speak with the dead while they are taking on another player's role. Cannot take the same player's role twice. If a dead player's abilities have been consumed (such as the witch's potion) they will be consumed for the conjuror. If killed while taking on another role, they will be announced as that role and not the conjuror.

Detective
Aura: Good
At night, can check if two other players are from the same team. The Detective is only told if the players belong to the same team or not. Teams are typically: Villagers, Wolves, Fool, Solo killer. Ability is used at night by PMing the names of the two players the detective wishes to check.

Gunner
Aura: Unknown
Can shoot and kill any player once per day. Two shots max. Their role is revealed to all upon use. Uses their power by posting in bold: "XXXX shoots YYYY".

Jailer

Aura: Unknown
During the day, can select another player to jail at night. Selection is done via PM to me. The player jailed cannot be killed at night via normal evil/solo attacks. The jailer is not notified if their detainee is attacked. The player jailed cannot perform any night actions. The Jailer can kill the player at any time (one kill per game). The jailer can send up to two messages to the prisoner, and the prisoner can send two back. I'll work as intermediary. Messages go Jailer -> Prisoner -> Jailer -> Prisoner. If the jailer decides not to send any messages the prisoners messages won't be sent. If the jailer is nightmared, they can still detain a player. The Jailer will not be able to speak to them or use their bullet. If the jailer is killed at night, the player is immediately unjailed and may use night actions if available.

Medium
Aura: Unknown
Can speak with the dead in a dead forum at night. Can revive any dead player whose role is not masked. (For example, the medium cannot revive a player killed under Confusion status as their role would be reported as “??????”). One time use. Revives at night by PMing the name of the player they wish to revive.

Ritualist
Aura: Unknown
Can speak with the dead at night. At anytime, including the first night, can cast a spell on any player who is alive (except for themselves). The Ritualist at any time can change who is spelled. If the spelled player dies, the spelled player will be resurrected after two phases. For example, if the spelled player is lynched, they will remain dead throughout the next night and day before rejoining the game during the next night phase. If they were a werewolf, they will be revived as a regular werewolf with no powers. The spell will remain after the Ritualist is killed. Only one player may be revived per game.

Warden
Aura: Unknown
During the day, can select to jail two players at night. Selection is done via PM to me. Cannot jail fewer than two players and cannot jail the same player two nights in a row or jail themselves. Jailed players cannot perform any actions at night. Jailed players cannot be killed by normal wolf/solo attacks. Jailed players will be placed in a group chat for the night. The Warden cannot contribute to the discussion but will be given a full transcript. The Warden can choose to give either player a weapon. That player can choose to use it against the person they are jailed with. If a player attempts to use it against someone on their own team, the player using the weapon will die. Otherwise, the other prisoner will be killed. The weapon can only be used once per game, but if not used, the Warden can continue to offer it on future jailings. If the warden is nightmared, they can still detain two players. They will not be able to drop the weapon. If the Warden jails two wolves, the wolves can choose to break free of jail and kill the warden. If the warden is killed at night or the weapon is used, the players are immediately unjailed and may use night actions if available.

Regular Villagers:

Sheriff
Aura: Good

The player selected is made at night by PMing a name to watch.

Seer Apprentice
Aura: Good

If the person the Apprentice transformed into is revived, the Apprentice will revert back to an Apprentice with no powers.

Spirit Seer
Aura: Good
Can check one or two players to see if those players killed someone at night. The simply receive a color, red or blue. Blue results means none of the players selected killed anyone. Red means at least one player selected killed someone, if not both. If there is a wolf kill, all wolves will show red except for the Blind Wolf and the Wolf Seer. If the Blind Wolf or Wolf Seer resign their ability they will show red like any other werewolf. A jailed player will always show as blue. This power is used at night by PMing the name or names of the players they wish to check.

Potions are consumed if the use is successful. Potions are used at night. It will not be announced who the witch is upon potion use. The witch will be notified if their protection is successful, but nobody else will be.

Wolf team (ranked from low to high):

Wolf Mechanics:
Each night the wolves vote to kill someone (Wolf Seer and Blind Wolf cannot vote, the Alpha Wolf gets 2 votes and automatically wins ties). The player with the most votes is attacked. In the event of a tie, the tie is broken by wolf ranking. Higher ranked wolves (higher number below) will win tie votes. If the target the wolves select in the night is killed, all votes for that person are changed to "no vote". It may benefit wolves to tactically split votes in order to avoid killing the same role as someone else. For example, let's say 2 wolves vote the medium and 1 wolf votes the Aura Seer. The medium gets killed at night by the Jailer. The 2 wolves that voted medium automatically have their votes changed to "no one" and the Aura Seer will be attacked since they are the only person the wolves voted for. If all 3 wolves had voted for the Medium, nobody would be attacked.

1. Wolf Avenger
Aura: Evil
Will take another player with them to the grave when they die. The player must be selected by sending a PM prior to death. The player can be changed at any time.

The berserk ends immediately if the berserk werewolf is killed, including if killed by the solo player immediately prior to use.

5. Nightmare Wolf
Aura: Evil
Can cause one player to fall asleep during the night, thus being unable to use any abilities. Up to two uses per game. During the day, must notify by PM the player to fall asleep for the subsequent night. If the medium is nightmared, they will lose access to the dead forum for one night/day cycle. Nightmared players can still vote to skip.

6. Voodoo Wolf
Aura: Evil
At night, can select a player to mute for the subsequent day. The muted player will be thread-banned for the entire next day. The Voodoo Wolf cannot mute the same player for consecutive days.

If the Alpha Wolf is in the group, the Alpha Wolf may send private, one-way messages to the team during this period by PMing me.

11. Alpha Wolf
Aura: Unknown
Natural leader of the wolves. Has two votes at night, and automatically wins ties. Does not possess Evil aura. Requires two attacks to be killed. These attacks could be two lynching attempts, two marksman shots, a gunshot and a witch's potion, etc. The village will be notified if the Alpha Wolf has been attacked, but not the manner in which they were attacked, who attacked them, or who was attacked.

Appears as a villager to the Detective and other seer roles. At any time the Sorcerer can resign their powers and become a normal evil werewolf with no powers.
