Pawn's Town of Salem - Role and Rules Forum

this is completely outdated

edit: PLEASE DON'T TALK AT NIGHT.  If you talk at night, I may implement a whisper system.

Shorthand - Attack/Defense [so 0/0 means 0 attack and 0 defense]

a = number of players at the beginning of the game, will be declared every day

The Village wins when only Village roles remain; the Mafia wins when only Mafia roles remain.

Lynching – the main way the town gets stuff done.  Every day, all members of the village can vote to put someone on the stand to lynch them [there’s no way out of being killed when lynched].  When 51% [ish] of the village have voted on one member, that member is put on the stand.  Once the member is put on the stand, the village has 2hours to vote guilty or innocent or abstain.  If there are more guilty votes than innocent votes, that player is lynched, their role is revealed, and they are dead.  After a lynching, it is nighttime.

The Gathering House acts as a brick wall - all actions against it fail until it is attacked [strength 1], after which all actions can get through.  Every sqrt(a)-(a/5) night, the Gathering House will fall and the Doorman must spend their night rebuilding it.  All actions [killing, healing, etc.] affect sqrt(a)-sqrt(a/10) more people, with the exception of dousing and hexing, which affect everyone in the Gathering-House.

Night and day last 24 hours – no exceptions unless in cases of emergencies [power outage, fire, etc.].  I will try to be strict about this.  Night may be shorter if everyone takes their night actions.   Both night and day can be called by players (say “I call night/day”).  If you do not take a night action for or more consecutive nights, you will die.  I reserve the right to kick people for arguing, off-topic, gamebreaking, vulgarity, etc., but I will try to be rather lenient.

Once the trap is triggered, the trapped player gains powerful defense, the trapper learns the roles that visited the trapped player, and the trap powerful attacks a random attacker.

Ice Team

White Witch */1

Every night, the White Witch may choose to prepare or do one of her actions; however, each of her actions needs a certain amount of points and consume those points [they are one-time use only].  Preparing gives the White Witch points equal to the number of frozen players divided by sqrt(a), rounded down.

Attack [points]: Same mechanics as Ice Magician’s attacks.  The White Witch and Ice Magician count as total frozen players.

Every night, the Red Witch may choose to prepare or do one of her actions; however, each of her actions needs a certain amount of points and consume those points [they are one-time use only].  Preparing gives the Red Witch points equal to the number of doused players divided by sqrt(a), rounded down.

The Arsonist, any night, can choose to clean gasoline off themselves, ignite, or level douse another player.  When the Arsonist ignites, they may only ignite level doused players.

Fire Minion 0/0

The Fire Minion can level douse one player and both their neighbors; those people will be informed that they have been visited by the Fire Minion.

what's the role descrip for the gathering house guy?

(Q) Doorman

It's not on the list....

Yeah. I think Pawn copy pasted this list before he added Doorman into the official R&R.

Mhm.

Doorman fixed

Did you just add Kryx? How does it win?

Pawn, do the freezing/dousing effects mess with invest results? And if so, HOW do they mess with invest results?

Also, what does it do to Sheriff checks?

Pawn, why does the White Witch's "Winterization" and the Red Witch's "Rain of Oil" abilities cost different amounts, but do the same thing?

Winter can’t directly harm, but RoO can

Farmer - TS - 0/0

Can 'grow' 3 ingredients per day (starting day 2 if there is a jailor making the game start with day). When the farmer grows ingredients, the following night he can make a recipe. 

Ingredients:

Garlic (unique, only one can be grown per day). Garlic can be given to any living player and makes them immune to vampires that night. 

Tomato - non-unique. Can be used in recipes

Chicken - can be used as broth for soups

Milk - can be used for ice cream; see below 

(Need some ideas for other ingredients)

Recipes:

Garlic - vamp immunity

Tomato + Chicken - tomato soup - unfreezes eater if frozen by Ice Team

Fruit or Vegetable + Milk - ice cream - undouses eater if doused by fire team

Chicken - Protein Boost - Gives 'fighting roles' such as BG and Crusader +1 attack, and gives (some roles) basic defense if they do not already have it.

not to be confused with framer btw

maybe a diff name would be better 

Agricola

Looks nice, maybe a bit op

Maybe, could change the ingredient growth to 2 per day (or maybe make it escalate as the game goes on)

Depends on what recipes and ingredients we can come up with

Agricola coming R11

yay

every broken thing in this role list (imo)

Carpenter- Trapper that can place their trap every day, but the trap doesn't fall when visited by a non attacking role. Can be placed on conf townies to make them practically invincible.

Doorman- Easily conf townie that when you nerf it so much it eventually devolves into constantly building the G-H, but when the G-H IS up the Doorman orders everybody to request access to prove they're not a killing role, and still only accepts like 1 person like the Mayor.

Wiper- Town BMer and an infinite Escort that can RB multiple people at a time.

Insane Leader- Easily confirmed, RNG, and also its even night ability exists

Janitor- You are a Cleaned for every single mafia kill, because infinite cleans

Oublier- sqrt(16)=4. Can turn 4 people into Hex Masters in 1 game. In other words- Kill it on n1 or d2 or else it's an instant Coven Win button, ignoring the fact that HM is supposed to be unique. 

Revenge Artist- Seems like it hurts evils more than it helps them. Only town it kills is Vigilante. NE since when?

Victim- Seems like it hurts evils more than it helps them. Only town it kills is Vigilante. NE since when?

Kryx, Creator of Chaos- but what's its win condition?

Brewer- So UP it hurts

Monster- Every even night, town gets an extra lynch. Odd night ability essentially kills itself.

You're not wrong.
