Mechanics

 * The Necromancer is a role who can control the corpses of dead players and use their ability on a second target. The corpse then rots, allowing only one use of a corpse.
 * When you have the Necronomicon, you can select yourself to summon a Ghoul onto your target. Otherwise, the selected target uses its ability on the second target.
 * Note in that case: a has no effect.
 * You do not visit your second target, so you won't be affected by a on alert, a, a , a 's trap, an , and so on. However, you do see anything that happens to your ghoul, so if they encounter one, you will know.
 * If your target was an, the message, "An has remembered that they were like the ." will be displayed to the . This does not seem to depend on the role of the second target.
 * If your target was a, they will protect their normal target, regardless of your choice of target.
 * You cannot control a dead player if they have been stoned or if their role was cleaned.
 * You cannot control a dead player that has no remaining night uses, such as a with no bullets left.
 * You have role block Immunity, meaning that you will be able to control a corpse even if a, or  role blocks you.

Strategy

 * Use killing roles or anything you think might mess up the.
 * If you think that someone in the or an ally is going to be attacked, reanimate a  role.
 * Keep other powerful roles with the abilities to kill, protect, or heal in the late game. This will serve to sustain your faction, especially when you are the only member left.
 * Later in the game, you may select yourself to summon ghouls, or you may continue to use dead corpses. Planning with the other Coven members on when to use a corpse and when to attack will help in providing the most efficient use of your role.
 * can also be your toys to kill enemies. Using their ability to visit important members such as the or  can help you kill members trying to protect or watch over them.
 * Controlling the can be used for deception. Accidentally killing an evil role makes you able to claim, since the message will say that the  killed them. Other killing roles, like , can be also used for deception into tricking the  to make them look like you did the job.
 * You can control if they were hanged after transforming, but this WILL kill you as well. Only use this as a last resort if you believe it will potentially push the game in the 's favor.
 * All actions against someone jailed by the will fail, including those you control as a corpse. If a Coven member is imprisoned, it is not advised to use a corpse against them. Instead, focus on finding or potentially killing the.
 * Your role is not very useful in the beginning, where not many killing or protecting roles are dead.
 * You can force a draw between yourself and a if there are dead  roles.
