The game starts with 3 members of the coven , they cannot recruit although they can still have the backing of the King .

Second Witch

We are Witchs Three : As long as there are three witchs you are immune to night death and occupy .

I don’t get how the Curse ability works explain?

#3

So the hex , curse and mark , can be carried out on targets during the day . The players that are effected get a message saying they have been cursed marked or hexed .
At night a different witch will get a different effect if their target is hexed cursed or marked .

I have just thought of a better way of wording it all though . Ill update my original post .

Witch Hunter confuses me. Why Princess on the night result, and why would BD have any need for class disguising, and how is 3 uses for an instavote (already extremely powerful, if not OP) fair?

The princess on the night result is to give a degree of misguidance .
Its meant to reflect the witch hunter being somewhat of a zealot and pointing the finger at anyone who they think could be a witch with very little evidence other than that they are a woman .
The old joke of testing for a witch by seeing if they burn when set on fire . If they burn , not a witch . If they don’t burn - a witch .

The whole idea I had for the witch hunter is that although he works for bd he is not a perfect tool .

It could easily be changed to be a vanilla sherrif clone but I just thought this might be fun .

Also as you say instavote is OP to balance this the witchhunter abilities are imperfect

#6

Lore is no reason for flawed game mechanics, to be honest. There are ways of making a class interesting without making them inherently worse than their alternatives :wink:

#7

The mechanics aren’t flawed the character is . Its a limitation of the witchhunters ability that he cant discern between princess and witch .

Obv playing as a witchhunter you would know that your ability is flawed and would likely do further investigation before putting a witch to the flame .

I like the passive and the idea of a non-conversion based faction.
