hasnt there been, like, 5 priests already

Attack: None

Defense: None (Invincible to targets). ..what?

Abilities:

- Pray for protection each night. fun

- Choose to call for protection from above and grant it to someone. is this a second button, or just what happens after you pray?

Attributes:

- You may only pray three times. oook

- You are roleblock immune when praying. makes somewhat sense

- When you are calling for protection, you will activate your own protection. so your own defense goes to invincible?

also, im assuming theres only one button

Mechanics:

- Each night you may select yourself to pray or select another person to call for protection on them. ok so there are two buttons

- Praying gives you a protection, and calling for protection uses up them. You may store protections.

- Protection Yourself: when you choose to call for protection, you will automatically activate your own protection, which provides Basic defense for one and only one attack.

ok

- If you lose your own protection by getting attacked while calling for protection, you will no longer have protection for yourself. You may still call for protection on other people however.

so basically, you call for protection on yourself and mafioso attacks

you can no longer protect yourself

but nobody attacks

you still can?

that should be how doc/bg works tbh

- Roleblocking will not stop you praying, but it will stop you calling for protection, and also stopping your own protection from activating.

​​​​​​​didnt you say that the priest had rb immunity

- In Summary: You may pray each night giving you one protection. You select yourself to pray. You may call for protection giving yourself basic defense from one attack, and your own protection will not be regenerated each time you call for protection. Calling for protection gives someone invincible defense that night. You may choose to give multiple people protection the same night if you have more than one protection. You are roleblock immune when praying but not when giving protection.

Investigation Results:

- Sheriff: Your target seems innocent.

- Investigator: Your target could be a Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, Potion Master, or Priest.

- Consigliere: Your target worships a force above. They must be a Priest!

How This Works (In Theory):

- You are encouraged to save your protections, as using your protections every other night will end with you running out by night 6 with 3 nights of you not using any protection. Those protections are also likely to go to waste. It may be a wise idea to save up a few protections and when in need, you may choose to protect more than one person each night.

- If you suspect an Arsonist might ignite a particular night, you should use as many protections as seen fit to minimize damage to the town. This can also set the Arsonist back a lot of nights. This also goes if you suspect the Hex Master may be hexing the last person tonight.

- You should not claim early on, especially in gamemodes like Ranked with only one TP slot, as you are not a consistent protector, and you claiming will instantly give evils the opportunity to go for important roles like Jailor because they know that you will not be able to protect them easily.

- If you have already claimed and you suspect that you may be a target, you should use one protection because your own protection will not go away until you are attacked while calling for protection.

- I tried to explain this the best I could, sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. ok so-

at first, this seemed just like a holy doc

but now it seems like a slightly confusing doc

for new players, at least.

I love the idea of how unless it gets attacked, it can heal itself for as long as it wants and the ideaof 'storing protections', but how do you store protections? (sorry if that was in there, after reading a lot I sometimes skip/forget/miss details)

I have personally been waiting for a new TP that doesn't attack others (cough bg, crus and trapper) and this priest (of the many other TP and TS ones) seems like a much better option than most.

overall, this is a TP/10

and i dont rlly have much to say, so sorry about the lack of feedback? So first, I thought I made this confusing so here's a better explanation.

You have three prays right? Every time you pray, one of those prays get converted into a protection. You are roleblock immune when praying, but not when giving protection.

So the self protection mechanic only gives you BASIC defense, so heres some examples of how this role might work.

A is SK, B is GF, C is Mayor, D is Priest.

A attacks C, B attacks D, D uses a protection on C. Neither C nor D will die.

Another example:

A is SK, B is Sheriff, C is Priest.

C protects A for some reason, A attacks C. C still doesnt die.

Another example:

A is SK, B is GF, C is Priest.

C protects A, A and B attacks C. C dies because he was attacked twice.

Another example:

A is SK, B is Sheriff, C is Priest.

C doesn't protect. A attacks C. C still has an auto protection, but still dies because he didn't use it.

Another example (lol):

A is Arso, B is Sheriff, C is Jailor, D is Mayor, E is Priest.

A has everyone else doused. A ignites. E has prayed three times and protected zero times, so he uses all three protections to protect B, C, and D. Although E's protection activates, A will still kill E because his attack goes through Basic defense, but B, C, and D will be fine.

Now the storing protections mechanic: when you pray, you don't have to immediately use your converted protection the next night, you can choose to leave it.

The amount of protections and prays you have are directly proportional, every protection that you gain will always cause your pray count to go down by one.

E.g.

You have 3 prays.

You have 0 protections.

You pray N1.

N2, you now have 2 prays and one protection.

N3, you pray again. You now have only 1 pray and two protections.

N4, you use a protection. You now only have 1 pray and 1 protection.

So, as long as you have prays, you can keep gaining protections, but there is no way to get your prays back.
