Poisoner

Mechanics

 * The Poisoner’s attack is a delayed Basic attack that takes one day to take effect and can be cured by any heal after the initial visit.
 * Players will know that they are poisoned.
 * With the Necronomicon, poisoning can no longer be cured.
 * Any temporary defense, such as jailing a player or protecting them as the, other than healing does nothing to stop a poison once you are poisoned.
 * On the other hand, poisoning a player will register as an attack, so any defense at the time of attack higher than none will stop the poison's effect.

Strategy

However, smarter  will notice you visiting your target, so when they die a day later, they will be suspicious of you or even call you out if their target claims they were poisoned.

Of course, this will not work once the  gets the Necronomicon, as healing no longer prevents death by poison.
 * Coordinate with your fellow members on who you should poison. Before night 3, you might be the only  member who can actually kill, with the other early game killer of the  being the.
 * If you play with a, you can ask her to claim poisoned while you don't poison anyone and ask her to stone visitors the following night. This might allow you to kill the and make your poison incurable.

Dealing with Poisoners
