Description: You are an explorer possesed by the spirit of an ancient pharaoh.

Alignment: Neutral Killing

Attack: Basic

Defense: Powerful (first attack), Basic (second attack), None (third attack onwards) '''This is a unique concept, but isn't necessary. So just give it a basic defence.'''

Unique Role: Yes

Abilities choose to curse players at night.

Attributes:

You cannot attack night 1 I know you did this to make it different from, but how necessary is this delay?

You have two types of attacks:

- Your first attack is a basic attack against your target. Visitors to your target are alerted that an archaeologist has visited. Why?

- Your second attack can only be used once per game, and only on a full moon. Attacking a player will curse them and up to 2 visitors, changing their investigation results to yours. Consigs and Potion Masters will see a cursed target as an Archaeologist. Sheriffs will see their target as suspicious. The curse takes priority over any investigation. The effect lasts 2 nights. '''How is this an attack? do the people that were cursed die afterwards? I now do see some reasoning to the visit alert mechanic, it allows for some counter play with the hex, if the targets do die. (Obviously)'''

Results:

-Sheriff: Your target is possessed (Archaeologist)! Standard stuff here

-Investigator: Medium, Janitor, Retributionist, Necromancer, Trapper, or Archaeologist. This is a fine result, the only real issue is how TF an can fit this on.

-Consig/Coven Leader: An ancient spirit resides in your target. They must be an Archaeologist.

Goal: Kill everyone who would oppose you.

Wins with: Survivor, Pirate, Guardian Angel

Other notes: If the first attack against an Archaeologist is a powerful attack, the basic defense is skipped and the Archaeologist will have no defense for the second attack. Unstoppable attacks will still instantly kill an Archaeologist.

It does need some changes and some clarification on some bits. Like the whole curse thing, would a bodyguard defend from it? Or is it an indirect attack like a douse?

The result, although long, is a good one, the only real other spot available for it is / result.
