Each night you can preach to one person. If that person is a killing role (not including those listed below), they lose their killing ability.

Hard countering Godfather, Mafioso, Arsonist.

Mediums and Retributionists can never convert.

This character is not night immune, but is bite immune. He only wins with those he has converted.

Notably, the following roles can not convert and are unaffected by the Reverend: Serial Killer, Witch, and Werewolf.

If it encounters a Vampire, it becomes a Vampire Hunter.

Hardcountering Vampires as well.

The purpose of this role is to give new hope to heavily outnumbered townies or mafias so they can still participate in the game. Furthermore, it is a neutral benign that allows for active engagement in the game- in contrast to Survivor's and Amnesiac's "do nothing" strategy.

Notable Strengths: -Is a counter to what seems like an overpowered Arsonist coming in the update -Is a neutral that works well with both the Townies and the Mafia -Makes endgames more interesting for lone Townies or Mafias who may otherwise forfeit -Mafia can use it's Godfather/Mafioso to kill even if one converts (save the last killing role's conversion for last)

Notable Weaknesses: -Not night immune -His ability to remove a target's killing ability is brutal to Veterans, Vigilantes, and Bodyguards. -Prime Werewolf food -Lookouts get suspicious -Followers do not know one another's identity (it's not a faction) -Serial Killer is a major threat still Hardcounters too many roles.
