Any minion which instantly modconfirms itself by doing anything or at the start of the game cannot exist in a game with mole

#42

I think the bigger problem is being hell-bent on keeping Mole in the script, since the only Minion combination that really works with it is the one you had (Goblin, Wizard, Mephit, and just hope that Marionette rolls), unless you open up to using Minions from the released sets. Every other Minion from the unreleased sets has an effect public enough that Mole can’t bluff it well.

#43

What about goblin, wizard, mephit, and sicilian?

#44

That could work right?

#45

Would it be best to remove bounty hunter in this case so that 2 lost wolves can’t be a thing

#46

Or no

#47

Sicilian works as a Mole bluff until town doesn’t execute their target and the game continues. And where are you getting two lost wolves from?

#48

Mephit + bounty hunter

#49

Oh, Mephit being on script.

#50

Yeah, too many ways to get evil players really undoes the balance of the game. Either Mephit or Bounty Hunter out, and given how set you are on keeping Mole in, Bounty Hunter out.

Ok, I’ll replace bounty hunter with noble.

#52

Is there any way to make Wraith work in a forum setting? If so, that might be the best option.
If that seems impossible, it’s likely we’ll need to add some released minion because yes I am hellbent on keeping mole in the script
If that is the case, i’m seeking counsel on which released minion you think would be best to add for the fourth one.

edit: it seems impossible to me for a forum setting (and also impossible for mole to bluff) so wraith is out too.

#53

Goblin is also a pretty bad plague doctor minion ability (basically useless in fact), so it’s probably best to replace both goblin and sicilian with released minions (since I want to keep plague doctor in the game).

LMK which 2 released minions you think would be best to put in there @Tangeld

#54

Ah, see, you shut me down, because I was just about to ask if Plague Doctor needed to be in. If you were willing to remove that, we could work with Snitch for an Outsider.

#55

I would rather keep both mole and plague doctor in the game and add two released minions

#56

marionette + snitch can’t be a thing I don’t think

#57

marionette already cannot exist because of mole marshal

#58

right

#59

so let me know which 2 released minions would be best to add here @Tangeld

#60

Snitch is just “When you wake the Minions, you show three not-in-play characters”, which would mean that all of the Minions (and the Mole, consequently) would be shown the same three characters, and these could technically overlap with Demon’s three.
