Desperate

Desperate Alias: none Alignment: Town Mafia Role type: Investigative Negative Utility Choice: none Status: No

A Desperate action fails when used on a player who would appear to a Cop as belonging to the same alignment as the user.

Standard version

A Desperate action fails if a Cop would get the same result on the player and the target. Roles such as Miller and Godfather interfere with how Desperate works.

A Desperate action may cause you to die if used successfully.

Variations

Disloyal cares about actual alignments instead of apparent alignments when checking if an action should succeed.

Sample Role PMs

The standardized Role PM for "Desperate" describes the modifier as follows:

• As a modifier on a single ability: This action will be blocked if used on a player who appears to a Cop as belonging to the same faction as you. (edit)

Example (modifying a single ability)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Desperate Jailkeeper.

You have the following active ability:

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
