[Class Suggestion] The Butcher (Rework)

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#1

The Butcher - (Neutral Killer)

Passive: Seeing Red
Nothing will stop your Blood obsession, you are immune to death at night.

Passive: Bloody Mess
You will spill Blood on anybody that visits you as long as you are covered in Blood. Blood will appear in all Investigative results.

Night Ability 1: Slaughter - Infinite uses
You will slaughter your victim tonight, covering yourself and anybody visiting in Blood.

Night Ability 2: Butcher - 2 uses
You will butcher your target tonight, destroying any Journal they have created. Only you will get covered in Blood.

Day Ability 1: Clean - 2 uses
You will wash the Blood off of yourself today.

Day Ability 2: Wipe - 2 uses
You will wipe some of the Blood onto your target, covering them with Blood.

Goal: Go on a murderous rampage and kill anyone that would oppose you, Blue Dragon, Unseen and even the Cult who’re using Blood in the wrong way!

Lore: “If I don’t kill somebody soon, I’m going forget how! My knives are dry like bone and need to be dripping with Blood!”

Once thought to be just an average local butcher, this individual became obsessed with Blood. After watching carcass after carcass be dragged through his butchery, he wanted to see more. He offered locals to see his merchandise and lead them to their demise. He often bathed in their Blood, sometimes even painted portraits of his victims using their own Blood. He was considered almost demonic.

Even The Cult considered The Butcher to be out of his mind. It was said that even Mithras denied any form of contact with The Butcher’s mind. His obsession with Blood was beyond any sort of mystical power. It made a lot of people sick. But little did they know, the Blood obsessed Butcher found his way into Castle Adiart. His wrath will soon strike again…

Notes:

  • Currently, The Butcher is going to be used in SFoL6: The Brotherhood, but this one I’ve reworked with a similar style that would be better fitted into Unseen/Cult games.
  • In terms of Investigative - Princess would be somewhat of a counter to The Butcher’s blood. If she sees “Killer - Covered in Blood” - then she may have The Butcher. But if she sees “Not a Killer - Covered in Blood” then it’s not The Butcher.
    Sheriff, Observer, Paladin and other Investigatives however, will see “Covered in Blood” after their results.
  • I did think about adding something extra, further the blood. Different stages to the blood. An example:

Stage 1 Blood: Invest result - Your target has blood on them
Stage 2 Blood: Your target has too much blood on them to detect anything

That being said, it could be too powerful for The Butcher.

Welp… I fixed it

#6

why the different color letters anyway?

#7

Was going for a bloody effect

#8

i see… kind of gives the impression butcher has somehing to do with cult, at first glance

#9

Right next to his name in big enough letters :stuck_out_tongue: “Neutral Killer” :stuck_out_tongue:

#10

:stuck_out_tongue: i know, but the color scheme might confuse some people that would think he could be converted

#11

Does observer see blood in some way. I think he should.

#12

Does Maid?

#13

I think this answers your question Hippo

#14

So I am an Observer and watch who visits you. Jammy does. Do I see “Jammy, who was covered in blood visited your target, who was also covered in blood” or am i only informed if Jammy is covered in blood?

It’s being pedantic but its important to iron out exactly how mechanics work before starting a game with.

#15

Let me create a scenario

Jammy - Butcher
Me - Butler
You - Observer
Noz - Princess

Jammy wipes blood on me during the day
You watch me at night and Noz checks me

You will see “NozBugz visited your target tonight. Your target was also covered in Blood.”
Noz will see “Your target is not a Killer. Your target was also covered in Blood.”

You will be made to think that I’m The Butcher because I’ve got blood on my hands but Noz will be able to confirm that I’m not because I’m not a Killer.

#16

If noz is bloody do I see that tho?

#17

Nah, just the person you visit. Because surely, if I’m not dead from the visit, then you’d know it’s not The Butcher anyway, right?

#18

Okay you have convinced me to play in ur game.

#19

To make this better, it should be that blood REPLACES investigative results. This way blood is incriminating, but you can say it was smeared on you.

#20

You didn’t read the last part of my post did you?
