Inattentive is a role modifier that causes your ability to fail if your target has not been targeted by anyone else that night.

Standard version

An Inattentive role fails if no other actions targeted the target player. That is, an Inattentive role fails if an Inspector would not see anyone targeting their target.

Inattentive is in a set of 6 action-based modifiers:

• Motion Dependent - Action only succeeds if the target has targeted someone else or been targeted by someone else (action fails on a motion detector negative result)
• Distracted - Action only succeeds if the target has not targeted someone else nor been targeted by someone else (action fails on a motion detector positive result)
• Oblivious - Action only succeeds if the target has acted (action fails on a reporter negative result)
• Time-Lapsed - Action only succeeds if the target has not acted (action fails on a reporter positive result)
• Inattentive - Action only succeeds if the target has been targeted by someone else (action fails on an inspector negative result)

Sample Role PMs

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

• As a modifier on a single ability: This action will be blocked if used on a player who has not been targeted by anyone else that night. (edit)

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