[Class Suggestion] - The Warlock - Neutral Killer

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#1

Goal: Generic NK goal

New mechanic: Banish - This works similarly to Town of Salem’s Janitor. The target will be ‘cleaned’. For thematic purposes I went with banishing the target to another realm.

For those that get banished, the game will display an empty room with ‘X has gone missing’. This gives away that a Warlock is in play, but given the ability to ‘clean’ someone is so powerful the trade-off is fair.

Passive 1: Portal Trap - The first person that tries to attack you will be banished. This includes being caught by guarding abilities that kill the attacker. Their attack will not apply.
Passive 2: Wizard’s Resolve - Immune to occupation and target changing.

Day Ability 1: Prepared Ritual - You will have access to the journal of the next person you banish. 2 uses.

Night Ability 1: Banish - Send your target to another realm. Their class and journal will be forever lost. Cannot be healed. Unlimited uses.
Night Ability 2: Nether Flame - Fire corrupted flames at your target, killing them. Does not count as a visit. 3 uses. (Useful to stall out revealing to BD what kind of NK it is or making logs public).

Lore: A former Court Wizard cast out for his perverse magical experiments, the Warlock will use the Court that turned their back on him as his very own test site for his newly discovered spells.

If it doesn’t stop the attack then what’s the point?

Yeah it kinda seems like it’s for the lolz only tbh

#4

It does. They are banished before the attack takes place. It’s a one time defense. I clarify that the class doesn’t have night immunity because after this trap has been triggered, they are vulnerable.

Edited the wording slightly to clarify.

#5

Yea killing someone never stops their action regardless of priority.

#6

In otherwords all the wording change did was make it so if the attack is prevented by a Merc, Knight, Occupier or rediection then they are banished anyway

#7

It would behave similarly to a Hunter’s Bear.

#8

Hunter bear gives the Hunter night Immunity.

#9

Ah, just read the Bear ability. Didn’t feel it needed to be stated but Bear does state that it makes you Night Immune. Will change accordingly.

#10

It absolutely needs to say. Afterall different forms of protection are bypassed by different kinds of attacks.

Ex: Night Immunity stops CoD but visit Prevention does not. Reap bypasses heal and empower bypasses heal and immunity but neither of those bypass Prevention. Possessor bypasses Occupy, Sorcerer holds back against immunity but not healing. ECT ECT ECT

#11

Also what exactly is the trigger for the Ability? Hunter and Knight for example kill attacking visitors

#12

Not sure how to word it to cover any lethal action targeting you. So you would kill a Knight guarding your target as they are attacking you. Same for Merc Rebound.

Wouldn’t work for Hunter though given it’s supposed to be the bear attacking you in terms of ability. This would expend the trap’s single use and result in no deaths on anyone’s part.

#13

There is no wording that can accomplish that. Rebound and Bear both attack you without visiting you.

Also the Knight instance would need to crosskill because Knight bypasses Immunitys and Prevention (but not healing). Same with bear.

Nightshade
Bear
OE

#15

Also what kind of attack is banish anyway?

#16

With how I’ve adjusted the wording, the single time night immunity is separate from the trap.

What I wanted was the trap to ‘banish’ any attacker before the attack takes place which is why I originally did not give the class single time night immunity. I imagine no such mechanic currently exists.

Banish would behave similarly to an Reaper attack. It can’t be healed but night immune classes are safe.

Great. Put that in the class card.
