Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
So the Basilisk would be sort of a cobbler, only reversed as far as the Seer is concerned. I mean instead of coming up as an innocent, he comes up as YOU ARE DEAD.

I'm not sure about all these new bad guy types. From the stats, the good guys have enough trouble as it is... and all we can think of are new ways to kill them.


Hmm... maybe I'll be able to think of something new for the good team.

Wizard Werewolf scenario that I dream of with a certain amount of wistfulness:

Kuru and Boromir submodding LMP's game again with Fea and the phantom as good and evil wizard, respectively. I can't help but think that that situation would either be very short-lived or extremely fun.

Heh heh. The outcome would depend on when you decided to scry me. Early- you win. Late- I win. Cause you know I wouldn't be suspected enough during the day to attract a lynch mob, no matter what happened. Finding me as the EW would be completely on the GW's shoulders.

You, I wouldn't have to find. You'd reveal sooner or later, and then I'd have all kinds of fun getting inside your head and figuring out who you made into a gifted.

Fea, if you're ever the GW in one of these games, and right after you reveal yourself your gifteds suddenly drop dead, you'd better scry me m'dear, cause it's probably my doing.

I've thought about having something sort of like a Healer. And the Healer could resurrect dead players.

Of course to have the healer do this on a daily basis would be extremely long and prolonged, so perhaps the amount of "energy" and power needed it takes the healer an extreme amount and can only resurrect a deceased player every 3 days? Any dead player, whether be lynched wolf or innocent, or killed by wolves...etc. Any dead player of their choosing to resurrect and that player will enter back into the game as an ordinary.

This was slightly inspired by my recent dream where after I was lynched I came back posting that I was a ghost. Just kind of something I recently thought of and might sound a bit whacky.

Or you could up the Wolf kills per night...

I think a game with a Healer, though, would be best advised to NOT reveal the roles upon death- thus making the choices of the Healer more peril-fraught and interesting. Will you cure a Gifted? Cure an Innocent? Resurrect a Wolf even?

I think I have a name for my super Ranger. It's quite simple, really.... Watcher. This is what the Hobbits called the Rangers, so it's just another term for Ranger, but kind of implies the "sight" of a Seer through "watching."

Heh, this makes me think "Sea Ranger."

I'll probably be going with the mixed-races village again, since I like the goofiness, so that kind of makes the elveness less special.

Well I can't use Istari or Wizard because you have forever defined werewolvian Wizardry on this board.

The Skittles in me wants to name it Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger but technially I think it would have to be a Ranger/Hunter combo for that to really make sense.

Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. Mainly, while at work the random thought popped into my head, "Basilisks are cool, I should figure out a werewolf role that fits that name."

Yes, disturbing, isn't it? Though don't I get points for my Suped Up Ranger idea? Hmmm... ah ha! Pimped Out Ranger.

Nah.
