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

Motion Dependent is a role modifier that causes your ability to fail if no motion would be detected.

Standard version

A Motion Dependent role fails if no actions were performed by or on the target player. That is, a Motion Dependent role fails if a Motion Detector would not detect any motion.

Motion Dependent 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 "Motion Dependent" 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 acted nor has been targeted by anyone else. (edit)

• As a modifier that affects all abilities: Your night actions will be blocked if used on players who have not acted nor have been targeted by anyone else. (edit)

Example (modifying a single ability)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Motion Dependent Jailkeeper.

You have the following active ability:

• Each Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be protected from kills that night, but all their actions will be blocked that night. This action will be blocked if used on a player who has not acted nor has been targeted by anyone else.

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