Thaumic

Thaumic Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Investigative Negative Utility Choice: none Status: Untested

Thaumic is a modifier derived from Thaumaturge, making the modified action only succeed on a player who is either Town or Vanilla, but not both.

Standard version

A Thaumic role only succeeds on Town Power Roles and vanilla non-town players. That is, a Thaumic role will behave as though it were roleblocked when targeting a Vanilla Townie or a non-town Power Role.

Variations

Antithaumic is the inverse of Thaumic. Antithaumic roles only succeed on Vanilla Townies and non-town power roles and will behave as though it were roleblocked when targeting a Town Power Role or a vanilla non-town player.

Use & Balance

Thaumic on an investigative role makes that investigative role function similarly to a Thaumaturge - if a Thaumic investigative role gets results, they know their target is Town or Vanilla but not a Vanilla Townie.
