Deathsinger (DS) (Coven Expansion)

Alignment Neutral Chaos

Immunities Defence: None Attack: None

Ability Stats Type - Manipulation/Killing, Unique Priority: 3(Visiting)/5(Killing)

Special Unique Role

Investigation Results Sheriff - Your target is suspicious. Investigator - Your target could be a Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, or Deathsinger. Witch/Consigliere - Your target is a practitioner of unholy incantations. They must be a Deathsinger.

Summary You are a practitioner of unholy incantations who only wants to see people kill each other.

Abilities Night Ability - Visit another player at night. At the start of the next Night, your target will be notified that they have been Deathlusted. This effect lasts during the night and will wear off by the next day.

If the Deathlusted target is a non-killing role you add a Basic Attack to your target's Night Ability. (will be henceforth referred to as a Deathlust’s attack) If this attack kills the target, you obtain one Deathlust kill.

If the Deathlusted target did not visit anyone (non-visiting role or chose not to visit), you will deliver an Astral Basic Attack on them. (will be henceforth referred to as Deathsinger’s attack)

Attributes None

Goal Obtain 4 Deathlust Kills.

Wins with Anyone Must Kill N/A (4 Deathlust kills)

Mechanics

The Deathsinger will not be informed of whether his target visited another player.

Deathlust activation is not reflected by a Spy bug.

The activation of Deathlust persists through Deathsinger's death. For example, the Deathsinger visits an Investigator on Night 4 and is lynched the next day. The Investigator will still be Deathlusted at the start of Night 5.

If a Deathlusted role is role-blocked or jailed, they will attempt to apply Deathlust’s Attack on the role-blocker/jailor.

If a Deathlusted role’s ability fails, they will still attempt to apply Deathlust’s Attack. For example, a Deathlusted Escort will fail to role-block a Consort, but will be able to attack her.

If a jailee is Deathlusted, the jailee will still be notified and can thus relay this information to the Jailor. The Jailor can execute the jailee to prevent receiving Deathlust’s Attack.

Both Deathlust’s Attack and Deathsinger’s Attack have a priority of 5.

Suggestions:

maybe specific role interactions need to be balanced.
