Townsfolk

NobleYou start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil.

InvestigatorYou start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion.

ClockmakerYou start knowing how many steps from the Demon to its nearest Minion.

GrandmotherYou start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.

LibrarianYou start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)

ShugenjaYou start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary.

High PriestessEach night, learn which player the Storyteller believes you should talk to most.

GamblerEach night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.

AcrobatEach night*, choose a player: if they are or become drunk or poisoned tonight, you die.

SeamstressOnce per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment.

PhilosopherOnce per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk.

ArtistOnce per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question.

FishermanOnce per game, during the day, visit the Storyteller for some advice to help your team win.

JugglerOn your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct.

Outsiders

RecluseYou might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead.

GolemYou may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die.

KlutzWhen you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses.

DrunkYou do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not.

Minions

GodfatherYou start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]

AssassinOnce per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not.

WidowOn your 1st night, look at the Grimoire & choose a player: they are poisoned. 1 good player knows a Widow is in play.

Evil TwinYou & an opposing player know each other. If the good player is executed, evil wins. Good can't win if you both live.

Demons

No DashiiEach night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned.

ImpEach night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp.

VigormortisEach night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]

Travellers

Duck DetectiveEach day, reveal up to 4 seats' claims. You may use any revealed characters ability once per game and cannot target yourself.

Lorics

BootleggerThis script has homebrew characters or rules.

Fabled

DuckThe player always starts as a good-aligned Duck Detective. All evils must be executed to win and if 2 or more good aligned players are executed, evil wins.

DuckWhen a character dies by execution, their character and alignment is revealed. When a character dies by other means, the Duck Detective learns their claim but not their information.

GooseAll Townsfolk and Outsider abilities act immediately. Evil, drunk, poisoned and bluffing characters yield incorrect information.
