Absorber
|
The Absorber, or Absorber is a role that absorbs the role powers of any role that targets him, except for killing roles and roleblocker. From the first night he absorbs a role, he can use that role on subsequent nights as many times as he wishes, unless the original role user had limited shots, in which case he receives a number of remaining equivalent to the remaining shots of the original role user (Note: in some variations, the Absorber receives unlimited shots of the role ability, even if the original role had limited use of the ability). Generally speaking, absorbing a role ability from the original user does not rob the original user of the ability (Note: in some variations, when the Absorber absorbs the role ability, the original user loses that ability). An Absorber may only use one of the powers he or she has absorbed, per night. In this, the role is similar to the Jack-of-all-trades role.
