Attack: Basic
Defense: None
Unique: Yes
Priority: 2 (blight/roleblock), 5 (poisoning)
Abilities:
- - You may blight a player at night, or poison a blighted player.
- - Blights block your target from using their role's night ability.
- Poisoning a blighted player will deal a Basic Attack to them. They will die the following night if they had no defense.
- With the Necronomicon, you will deal a Blight and a Basic Attack to your target.
Investigative Results:
- Sheriff: Your target is suspicious! (without the Necronomicon) | You could not find evidence of wrongdoing. Your target seems innocent. (with the Necronomicon)
Investigator: Your target could be an Escort, Transporter, Consort, Hypnotist, or Poisoner.
Consigliere: Your target uses herbs and plants to kill their victims. They must be the Poisoner.
Mechanics:
- - A Blight is a basic roleblock that allows the player to be poisoned if visited by the Poisoner again. Players are only roleblocked on the night that they are blighted. Roleblock immune roles are immune to the roleblock given by blights, including the Serial Killer. Roles that have defense are not immune to being roleblocked, unless they have roleblock immunity.
- If you blight an uncautious Serial Killer, they will attack you. Your Last Will is unreadable upon death.
- If you blight a Werewolf on a Full Moon, they will rampage at home and attack you.
- Poisons can be removed by a Guardian Angel's Purge.
- Blights cannot be removed nor protected against.
- The second visit, the poison, equates to a Basic Attack.
- The delayed kill delivered by the Poisoner, without the Necronomicon, is an Unstoppable Attack. This will only be carried out if the poisoned player has No Defense and was not protected by themselves or another player.
- You are roleblock immune to yourself but not other roleblockers (this is to prevent a paradox), such as Escorts, Consorts, the Jailor, and the Pirate. Note that you can still poison yourself if you happen to visit yourself again.
- With the Necronomicon, the Poisoner will roleblock and deal an instant Basic Attack to their target.
- If a Necromancer uses a dead Poisoner on a player, they will be roleblocked if they haven’t been blighted before. If they were blighted before, they will instead be poisoned.
