Plaguebearer

The Plaguebearer is a role that can infect a player with the plague. It is only available through the Town of Salem: The expansion.

Mechanics

 * The Plaguebearer spreads the Plague through visiting and being visited. The Plaguebearer can visit someone once per night.
 * You can't visit the person who are already infected by the Plague, therefore, you don't need to keep a track on who was infected.
 * The Plague is also spread by visiting and being visited with infected players.
 * Infected players will not know they have been infected.
 * Once all players are infected, the is told that  has been summoned. Players are not told they are infected with the Plague.
 * Once the Plaguebearer turns into, Horseman of the Apocalypse, it gains: Invincible defense and Powerful rampaging attacks.
 * You will know who's been infected each night.

Strategy

 * Try to visit people that you know are going to get a lot of traffic, but that are not going to die. For example, if someone says, "Investigate ____ tonight", you should probably infect the person they are going to visit, as the will bring the plague to other people.
 * Try infecting names that stand out in the beginning of the game. But be careful, as there could be a or  that is going to protect them.
 * strategies work well with this role - but make sure you don't visit the same target as an actual as you will die.
 * Often times, going after or  roles can spread the plague quickly, infecting them and anyone they visit.
 * If you are roleblocked by an / early in the game, you can always claim as you would know who you infect everynight.

Dealing with Plaguebearers

 * If you are a role that is told to check upon another person's role, you might want to refrain from doing so if you know that the  is vulnerable in the case of a  (for example, the  only has the same amount of  as there are all evil roles combine). However, if you think you are already infected, or if you think it is inevitable that a  will be coming soon, then you should continue visiting that person, as you would be helping catch  by narrowing down the pool of suspects.
 * The best way to stop is to kill them early before they become . If you are a  role and you happen to find someone suspicious of being a, it is not a bad idea to announce you suspicions of a certain person. Even then if the  becomes , the whole town will probably lynch the  immediately. Announcing that you found a  earlier and then having them turn into a  makes your claim a lot more believable than if you just revealed it to the town right when the  evolved.

Becoming, Horseman of the Apocalypse

 * If you do manage to become, you are armed with Powerful attacks, Invincible defense and a devastating Rampage ability.
 * See the page for more information about how to maximize these abilities.
