Priest

Summary: You are the pastor of the church of salem

Alignment: Town Support, Unique.

Abilities:

You can choose to bless one person each night.

'''Attack: none. Defense: none.'''

Attributes:

You visit a person to bless them.

'''If they are doused, they will no longer be doused. The arsonist, priest, and target will know they they are no longer doused.'''

If you visit the arsonist, he will douse you and his target.

'''If you visit a vigilante who shot a town member the night before, they will be purged of sin and will not kill themself. '''

'''ALTERNATIVE: They won’t kill themself, but they’ll throw out their gun and won’t be able to attack anymore. They will essentially become a town member with no abilities.'''

If you visit a serial killer, no matter what, he will kill you and his target/roleblocker.

'''If you bless any member of the mafia, they will be roleblocked. If you block a mafia killing, the next mafia killing will kill the target for that night. If there is one mafia killing left and they are roleblocked, they will kill the priest.'''

'''If you visit a werewolf on a full moon night, you will be killed even if you weren’t involved in their rampage. If you visit a werewolf on a non-full moon night, nothing will happen.'''

'''ALTERNATE: In the original draft, I thought that if the priest visited him on a non-full moon night, he would turn the werewolf into a survivor with 1 vest. Thoughts on this?'''

A bodyguard cannot protect you, but a doctor can heal you.

'''Targeting yourself results in a repenting night, where you use the bless effect on yourself, in addition to gaining basic defense. You may only repent once.'''

If you are doused, you will be told you have been doused.

You are immune to roleblocks.

Sheriff results: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator results: Your target could be a bodyguard, godfather, priest, or arsonist.

'''Consigliere results: Your target is the religious leader of the town. He must be a priest!'''

Backstory:

'''Kneel before the might of God. The Priest is a wise old man, a former missionary. A way with words is what helped him convert a full village in the sahara. He often stood bias and the votes of evildoers, but he remembers the town doesn’t have the final judgement. God does. His motive is to rid the town of the sin that has corrupted it for God knows how long. However, the Priest is not a good, a mere servant. Evildoers watch him, waiting, to silence his words of peace and harmony before the lord. The old man says a prayer each morning for the wayward souls of Salem, and leads the ceremony of executing a town member, breathing the simple, impactful words each time:'''

“May God have mercy on your soul.”
