The Waiter knows their regulars and makes sure they have plenty to drink.

On their first night, the Waiter learns two players that are good at that point.

One of the players the Waiter learns is drunk the whole game, even if the Waiter dies.

If created mid-game, the Waiter learns their information that night, and one of the players they know is drunk from then on.

If a dead player becomes the Waiter, they do not learn two good players, but 1 good player is drunk from then on.

The Yinyang Diviner learns 4 characters, but not which of them are in play.

The Storyteller decides which in-play characters should be shown to the Yinyang Diviner. It could be 1 good and 1 evil, 2 good or 2 evil characters.

Characters such as the Recluse or the Spy can register as a different character to disrupt the Yinyang Diviner’s info.

If a Yinyang Diviner enters play mid-game, they learn their info that night instead.

The Stargazer can see evil in the stars, but is blinded if they’re too close.

The closest evil player is the player the smallest number of steps from the Stargazer to the evil player.

If the evil players are equidistant, that means that the closest evil player clockwise is the same number of steps away from the Stargazer as the closest evil player anti-clockwise. If they are equidistant, the Storyteller shows this by pointing down instead of to the side.

If either of the Stargazer’s two neighbors is evil, the Stargazer learns false info. If one neighbor is evil, the Stargazer learns the opposite direction or equidistant. If both are evil, the Stargazer cannot learn that they are equidistant.

The Stargazer does not learn the number of steps from them to the closest evil player.

If the Stargazer is created mid-game, they learn their information that night. Dead players are included in the count.

The Rascal is mischevious and confuses other Townsfolk.

Each night, the Rascal has to choose a Townsfolk character. If they are in play, the player with that character will learn false info until dusk, and will give false info to other players.

If the chosen player is drunk or poisoned, they have no ability and cannot give false info to other players, but they still learn false info from the ability they think they have.

The chosen player still learns correct info from other abilities and basic rules, such as what their alignment is and what character they are.

The Rascal only affects the player who is the chosen character. They do not affect players who have the chosen ability without being the character.

If the Rascal chooses an out-of-play character that then enters play, they are still affected by the Rascal’s ability.

The Herb Doctor can infer things about players’ capabilities.

Each night, the Herb Doctor chooses a player. They learn a word related to that players ability. The Storyteller can write the word on a piece of paper or a phone or other device, and show it to the Herb Doctor.

The word that the Herb Doctor learns could be a word that appears in the chosen player’s character ability text, such as “mad”, “night” or “die”. It can also be a word describing the ability, such as “protect”, “support” or “recurring”.

The Herb Doctor generally only learns one word at a time. The word should be meaningful, not a function word such as “is” or “on”. The word should also not be made up or a compound of many other words.

The Herb Doctor can choose the same player each night, and can choose dead players. The Herb Doctor cannot choose themself.

The Abbot shelters their neighbors indiscriminately.

The Abbot’s ability works once per night.

If an evil player’s ability would affect one of the Abbot’s alive neighbours, it fails. In many cases, this is similar to the evil player becoming drunk, but if they act multiple times, only the time they target the Abbot’s neighbor fails.

The Abbot only causes evil players’ abilities to fail during the night. Abilities that take effect during the day still happen as normal.

The Abbot only protects from abilities that have not yet activated. If an Abbot’s living neighbor dies, and the next living neighbor was previously poisoned, the Abbot cannot remove the poisoning.

When the Abbot’s ability activates, the Storyteller wakes the Abbot. The Abbot does not learn which player’s or character’s ability they prevented, nor do they learn which neighbor they protected. They only learn that their ability activated.

If the Abbot cannot protect their neighbors from an evil player’s ability, the Abbot’s ability does not activate and they do not wake up.

The Brocadier protects other players with their life.

Each night except the first, the Brocadierchooses a player. If the chosen player is about to die, they live and the Brocadier dies instead.

The dead Brocadier loses their ability and cannot protect the chosen player again the same night. The Brocadier can protect a player only once.

If the chosen player is about to die but is also protected by other abilities, the Brocadier’s ability has no effect, and the Brocadier does not die due to their ability.

If the Brocadier cannot die for some reason, they cannot protect the chosen player from dying.

The Brocadier’s protection lasts during the day. The chosen player can survive execution, exile and anything else that may cause them to die during the day. The Brocadier will die instead.

If the Brocadier successfully protects a player, they die due to their own ability, not due to what would have killed the protected player. Abilities that rely on the chosen player dying have no effect.

The Brocadier can choose dead players, but since a dead player cannot die again, the Brocadier’s ability will have no effect in this case.

The Firewatcher keeps an eye out on areas at risk at night.

The Firewatcher protects players a certain number of steps away from themself. This means that the Firewatcher will usually protect two players: clockwise and anti-clockwise.

If the first player to die at night is exactly as many steps from the Firewatcher as the Firewatcher guessed, that player will not die tonight.

If the Firewatcher successfully prevents the death of a player, no other player except the Firewatcher can die that night.

The Firewatcher does not protect themself, and may in fact die to their own ability if they successfully protect somebody else.

The Firewatcher’s number takes into account all players, not just all living players. If both of the Firewatcher’s neighbors are dead, a guess of "1" will not have any effect as those two neighbors can’t die again. In the late game, the Firewatcher will often only be able to protect one player at a time, not two.

The Firewatcher can guess "0", choosing themself. If the Firewatcher then is the first to die that night, the Firewatcher dies as normal, but nobody else may die that night.

If the first player to die at night is not sitting the guessed number of steps away from the Firewatcher, or if nobody dies, then the Firewatcher’s ability does not activate. The players they chose are not protected by the Firewatcher for the rest of the night, and the Firewatcher will not die due to their own ability that night.

The Singer invites players to a performance, but risks exposing themself to the Demon.

The Singer can choose to use their ability at any time during the day, and must declare to everyone when they’re using it.

When the Singer has declared that they’re using their ability, all players (whether they are alive or dead) are asked to raise their hands if they would like to attend the Singer’s performance. The Singer may choose any number of players who have their hands raised. All players know whom the Singer has chosen.

If the Demon had their hand raised and was chosen by the Singer, the Singer dies tonight.

If a non-Demon player chosen by the Singer becomes a Demon later, the Singer does not die due to their own ability tonight.

If the Singer was drunk or poisoned when they chose the Demon today, they still die if they are sober and healthy tonight.

A Singer that uses their ability while poisoned or drunk may not use it again.

Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player may pretend to be the Singer and use their ability.

The Enlightened One realizes that they can’t sit back when evil is upon them.

During setup, the Enlightened One’s token does not go in the bag. Instead, an Outsider character token goes in the bag, and the player who draws that token is secretly the Enlightened One. The Storyteller knows. The player does not.

The Enlightened One does not have the Outsider ability they think they have.

If the Enlightened One is targeted or affected by an evil player’s ability, the Enlightened One will change characters and become a not-in-play Townsfolk character before the evil player’s ability takes effect.

If the Enlightened One changes characters during the day, the learn of their new character immediately at the start of the night.

If the Enlightened One first changes character due to their own ability and then due to an evil player’s ability, the Enlightened One only learns the final character they are.

When the Enlightened One is affected by an evil ability, they become the new character and are no longer the Enlightened One.

The Ban Xian redirects potential threats to evil players.

At night, if a player chooses the Ban Xian with their ability, the ability will instead resolve as if they chose an evil player of the Storyteller’s choice.

Players will not be told that their ability did not affect the intended target, nor will the Ban Xian be told that their ability has activated.

The Ban Xian only redirects abilities that require the player to actively choose a target. Passive abilities still affect the Ban Xian as usual.

The Storyteller can choose to redirect the ability to an otherwise invalid target, such as a dead evil player for the Snake Charmer or the same evil player as yesterday for the Devil’s Advocate.

The redirected ability still obeys the normal rules for activation. For example, if the Lycanthrope chooses the Ban Xian and instead targets an evil player, the ability will have no effect. Likewise, a Butler that chooses the Ban Xian still has to follow their voting, as the Butler's ability concerns who they chose, not who they targeted, and the Devil’s Advocate cannot choose the Ban Xian two nights in a row, even though the ability was redirected the first night.

If an ability requires a player to make multiple choices, the Ban Xian only affects the choice of themself, and not any other choices made by the ability. The Ban Xian cannot make an ability target the same player more than once. If each player is simultaneously selected by an ability, the Ban Xian can not redirect it, as that would mean it has to target another player twice. In that case, the Ban Xian is targeted as normal.

An ability redirected by the Ban Xian cannot be redirected further. If a Ban Xian has redirected an ability to an evil player, it cannot then be redirected to the Ambassador.

The Ban Xian ability can only be activated at night. If the Ban Xian is chosen by an ability during the day, that ability is not redirected.

The Face Changer is adept at assuming many different roles.

If the Face Changer is “mad” that they are a certain good character, they might be able to gain that character’s ability that night.

If the Face Changer gains an ability, they keep it until dusk.

The Face Changer cannot gain the same character’s ability more than once.

Only the Face Changer’s madness from the previous day is taken into account when deciding whether they gain an ability. If the Face Changer was sufficiently “mad” as the Empath for three days and was then sufficiently “mad” as the Snake Charmer on the fourth day, the Face Changer might still gain the Snake Charmer’s ability on the fifth night.

Some characters’ abilities (such as the Juggler, Gossip or Diva) may activate at night depending on the player’s actions during the day. If the Face Changer is “mad” that they are such a character, they need to make the appropriate actions for the ability to have any effect when they gain it at night.

The Actor conspires with the town to turn the tables on the evil team.

During the first night, wake all good players together and show them the Actor character token. All good players learn who is on the good team and, consequently, who is on the evil team, but they do not learn who is the Demon and who are Minions.

If the game ends due to the good team winning, the evil team wins, and if the game ends due to the evil team winnning, the good team wins.

Except for the Actor, all players with good characters are drunk. You do not have to wake them to use their abilities, as they all know an Actor is in play.

Good characters cannot change alignment when the Actor is in play. If an Actor enters play mid-game, all good players wake that night and learn each other.

Good Travellers do not wake to learn the good team, are not drunk and may still change alignment mid-game.

The Actor keeps their ability even if they are poisoned, drunk or dead. The Actor player cannot change characters.

If a Drunk or Marionette draws the Actor token, the Actor’s ability is not in play.
