We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.
Welcome to BEHG. We hope you enjoy your trip through our cesspool of hatred and lies.

There are just some roles I thought I'd share.

Quote:
 
Bulletproof Vest

Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The character dons a Bulletproof Vest rendering them immune to being killed by the Mafia during the night.
Notes: 


Quote:
 
Sharpshooter
Also Known As:  Hunter
Special Power is Active:  Always in effect
Effect on Game Balance:  Minimal - Moderate
Description:  When killed (day or night), the Sharpshooter gets to retaliate, killing one other player of their choice.
Notes:  Unique role as it is the only one who can force a true draw.


Quote:
 
The Fool
Also Known As:  Possessed
Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The Fool believes himself to be the Detective and acts with the Detectivel however his information is random. The information give is random. It may be accurate or may be totally wrong.

The exception is The Fool will always see the Detective as the Fool.


Quote:
 
Survivalist

Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  The constitution of the Survivalist is spectacular. On one night the Survivalist may stay awake all night and if they are targeted by the Mafia a random Mafia is killed instead.


Person Favorite:

Little Girl

Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Severe
Description:  The Little Girl is allowed to peek during the Mafia phase. If she is caught peeking, she dies of fright instead of the Mafia intended victim. If she is not caught (and then killed), knows who all of the Mafia are and exactly what they did during the day. There is a 25% chance per living Mafia that the Girl is caught. She should:


Fun in more RP directed games:
Quote:
 
Cupid
Special Power is Active:  Setup
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  t the beginning of the game the Cupid chooses any two players which are linked as a 'Couple', which may actually be an entirely non-romantic relationship. Such a couple cannot vote to lynch each other and if composed of 1 Mafia and 1 civilian will try to misdirect activity away from their partner.

Mixed couples are considered a winner if either of them survives the game.


Quote:
 
Martyr

Special Power is Active:  Nil
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  The martyr may elect to protect one player per night with their own life. If the player is targeted by the Mafia the Martyr is slain instead.


Fun fun:
Quote:
 
Freelancer
Also Known As:  Werehamster
Special Power is Active:  Special
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The Freelancer is a third party. He wins when he is first "killed" by the Mafia at night (though he does not die) and later lynched by the civilians. In this case all other players lose the game.

If he is killed twice by the Mafia, or if he is lynched before he is killed by Mafia, he loses the game.

To give the Freelancer a chance to get lynched during the day the Detective detects him as "Mafia".


For utter crazyness:
Quote:
 
Village Idiot
Also Known As:  Hand of Chaos
Special Power is Active: Night

Effect on Game Balance: Significant

Description:  The Village Idiot is a singular character in that he can cause Chaos and confusion without even trying. Once per game the Village Idiot may declare his power active.

When this happens the rest of the round is completed including the assignment of consequences at the morning toward any victims. Those that survive suffer the effects.

Mafia leave the Mafia channel and all surviving individuals have their roles shuffled.

If a Village Idiot does not activate his power he is treated as an ordinary civilian


For the lynch happy:
Quote:
 
Super-Saint
Also Known As:  Demoniac
Special Power is Active:  Lynching
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The theory of this character is that it is a Citizen who is SO good and saintly that people are horrified if they are falsely accused and lynched, and will therefore immediately lynch the Super-saints accuser.

During the day, anyone can claim to be the Super- saint at any time (including the Super-saint themselves), but this might expose them to the Mafia, so they generally dont claim it except to save themselves from a lynching. If the Super-saint is accused, convicted and lynched, they reveal themselves with a beatific flash. Everyone is then horrified and the Accuser is immediately lynched. The Accuser could be another Citizen, or a Mafia. Of course, the Super-saint, like any Citizen, can be killed at night without reprocussion.


Quote:
 
Mayor
Also Known As:  Sherrif, Captain
Special Power is Active:  Day
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The mayors vote counts as two during the game.

Indeed, they add alittle flavor to the game. Also, in some cases (the one's I was most familure with) clues were more or less replaced by giving the citizens more special roles.
Although, when we played, we played with a Role before Motive ideal, meaning that we played our character first, then tried to win second. Much more RP based than Gheb.

I COULD post the variant rule: "Deadmen Tell no Tales" magus... <_>;
If you DO play that form of the game, several more roles open up.

Basically it means that the dead cannot speak to anyone about the game, even other dead people. Because, in most mafia games, it is assumed that the dead people don't talk to the living... ever... >_>;
However, if you do play "Dead Men Tell No Tales" or not, as long as you don't pull a dumb move by PMing everyone who the mafia is, you can use roles such as this. If you don't play fairly, these rules are meaningless:

Quote:
 
Witch
Also Known As:  Healer
Special Power is Active:  Variable
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  The witch has the power both to heal or to kill. During the Night the Witch is shown the identities of all who are killed in the night. She can use her single healing potion on the victim to stop him/her from dying.

She can also use the potion to save the lynching victim whom appears alive the next day as if never lynched. She can use the poison on any character to kill them.


Quote:
 
Witch Doctor

Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Serious
Description:  The Witch Doctor can raise from the dead (reincarnates) one immediately previously lynched character. The Raised character is reincarnated as a totally new random role of the moderators choosing.

A Vampire cannot be reincarnated by the witchdoctor and the effect fails.


Quote:
 
Necromancer

Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Serious
Description:  The Necromancer can raise from the dead any player who has been dead at least 1 day. (Thus the roll is not called the first time until the second day). The resurrected character returns as the role the previously held.

A ressurected vampire immediately leaves #undead and comes back to life however he is aware who the vampires are and will have to way carefully what to say.

Strictly speaking a ressurected vampire can be played either as a traitor to the vampires or as a Spy working for them


Quote:
 
Exorcist
Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Minimal - Moderate
Description:  The exorcist can choose to block the ability of the Necromancer or Witch Doctor once per game.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also I forgot a few, that can be used whenever:
Quote:
 
Angel
Also Known As:  Guardian Angel, Guardian
Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  At night the angel secretly indicates one other player, who is safe if chosen by the werewolves. You cannot choose yourself or the previously protected player.

If the angel protects a Wolf the angel is slain for their efforts.

Quote:
 
Thief
Also Known As:  Mythomaniac
Special Power is Active:  Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Variable
Description:  The Thief in the first Night Declares to the moderator the person whose role he wishes to ıstealı. He then assumes that role.


Quote:
 
Silver Bullet
Also Known As:  No Known Aliases
Special Power is Active:  Day
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  A silver bullet can target one player at anytime during the day

If the player targets a werewolf, the werewolf dies; if they hit a villager, the villager is merely wounded and is sequestered for the rest of the day.


Quote:
 
Tainted
Special Power is Active:  No Special Powers
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate
Description:  The tainted bears a mark of corruption that is unmerited. Consequently he appears falsely to be a werewolf to seer characters and is thus subject to lynchings and accusations even while innocent


Quote:
 
Breeder
Also Known As:  Infectious Lycan
Special Power is Active:  During the Night
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The breeder may choose once per game to use their ability to convert that nights victim into a Werewolf. The victim is treated as a Judas (See Judas Below)


Quote:
 
Berserker
Also Known As:  Alpha Wolf
Special Power is Active:  At all times
Effect on Game Balance:  Moderate to Significant
Description:  If the Berserker is slain by the assassin, vampire, or lynching the berserker takes their killer out with them.


Quote:
 
Turncoat
Also Known As:  Reluctant Werewolf, Double Agent
Special Power is Active:  No Special Power
Effect on Game Balance:  Significant
Description:  The turn coat is a Werewolf who maintains much of their human nature. As such the turncoat wins only when the Villagers do. As such the turncoat must act to obstruct the wolves or reveal their identities without being found out himself lest they turn on him.

If the Turncoat is the last remaining wolf the Villagers are considered the winners and the Turncoat is freed of his curse.

My initial thought was to post a few at a time... however... I was picking them and going "Ohh, I like that one... and that one... and that one... and that one..." >_>;

Just read a few in moderation and pretend I posted only like three of four... <_>

However, if you want to read just a few I recommend:

Fool, Little girl, turncoat, Breeder and silver bullet.

Little Girl is just tilting the balance toward the cits way too freaking much. Me not like. >_>

Silver Bullet is cool, but does not make sense if the falvor is not werewolf oriented.

Fool seems fun.

Breeder is interesting, since it tilts the balance towards Mafia/Werewolf/whatever. >_>

Well, I'm a Citizen leaner, so, I tend to favor roles that *considerably* help them. I think it's pretty easy to be a Mafia, however, I love being so. I like cult more, though. >__>;

The little girl is, indeed, a very big help to the citizens. However, sometimes it'll just be another dead body if the dead person follows the rules and keeps their mouth shut (which makes it even more interesting if you have a necromancer resurrect them, not knowing she is the little girl.)

The citizens win often enough already, methinks. The fact that we have clues is a huge hhelp for them, often enough. >>

Well, as I said, when I used to play, clues weren't even used... and mafia won dominantly. However, that was because the citizens feared lynching, due to calling suspicion to themselves and the role Super-Saint. ((There came a point that I had to force lynching, and mafia still won.))

Also, with the little girl, you can (As I usually did) make it to where she only sees one werewolf/mafia
