Pre-randomized

Pre-randomized Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Manipulative Negative Utility Resolution Choice: none Status: Untested

Pre-randomized is a role modifier that requires you to target a random target that you are aware of or not use your ability. This is a random element that serves to take away predictability from a role.

Standard version

A Pre-randomized role learns their random target at the beginning of the Night (or Day for Pre-randomized Day roles). A Pre-randomized role may choose to target their random target or not use their ability. Usually, a Pre-randomized role has no chance of being able to self-target.

If the role usually has multiple targets, the role will have multiple random targets.

Variations

Randomized is similar to Pre-randomized, but a Randomized role will not know who they are able to target before choosing to act or not.

A Pre-randomized role may be allowed to randomly have themself as a target.

Sample Role PMs

The sample Role PM for "Pre-randomized" describes the modifier as follows:

• As a modifier on a single ability: A random target will be selected for this ability. You are informed of the random target and may choose to target your random target or not use this ability. (edit)

• As a modifier that affects all abilities: A random target will be selected for your abilities. You are informed of the random target and may choose to target your random target with one of your abilities or do nothing that night. (edit)

Example (modifying a single ability)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Pre-randomized 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. A random target will be selected for this ability. You are informed of the random target and may choose to target your random target or not use this ability.

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