A Hidden role or ability is a part of the player's role that the player is not aware of. It is the opposite of a player being Self-aware.

Hidden aspects are usually either passive abilities, unknown "side effects" of active abilities (or on occasion what an active ability does at all!), or notes regarding action resolution. Hidden Win Conditions are considered bastard modding.

Players may or may not receive hints that their role has hidden aspects. If a player is not aware of the possibility that their role may have a hidden aspect, or if their stated role is not their real role, it is generally considered bastard modding. The exception to this is with Cop sanities.

In some Open games such as C9++, it is necessary to include hidden passive abilities to preserve balance without making the game susceptible to massclaim. Otherwise, hidden abilities are usually not seen outside unique roles or bastard mod games.
