10/10 I really like this one. I’d like to see a FoL with this or jammys green dragon faction as they’re both more balanced and interesting than cult tbh.

tonight AND the next night? isn’t it a bit situationnal for a main ability?

Also stealing Princes ability seems broken.

I swear I had a note there saying “Targetting Prince has no effect”

Yeh, it is.

It means the target will be framed for two nights so that he doesn’t have to target whoever Sheriff is checking on the same night. That’s why I gave it a cool down too.

oh, the sheriff doesn’t have to check the guy two nights in a row to find he’s the banished, then?

Yeah.

Also, I had thought about making a completely different Invest counter to Banished but I felt like Sheriff would seem to fit right in. I considered making “The Warden” but it would just be Sheriff with the same ability to check them but something alternative to recruiting. I scrapped it but I may just post a concept.

(Also, I might add a couple more Banished Classes for concept too)

I’ve added

“The Begger King”
“The Insane”
“The Widow”
“The Outsider”
“The Phantom”
“The Tinkerer”
“The Cultivator”
“The Broker”

Changed my mind - I’ve revamped my conversion system for this

I like this faction.

I will gladly play a game with it.

You have no idea how much fun I had coming up with all these Classes.

Fun Fact:
“The Tinkerer” - Neutral Wildcard (Win with evils)
“The Widow” - BD Support
“The Shaman” - Neutral Wildcard (Win with Neutrals only)
“The Begger” - Neutral Wildcard (Become King)
“The Begger King” - Neutral Special (Survive as King)

These were actually going to be Classes I was going to suggest for Neutrals in ToL rather than being in a faction.
I took a load of them and implemented them into this faction. Worked out pretty well I’d say.

(Added their original stuff from my lists)

Um, since when kissing a people make them unable to speak in the day?

Toxic Lipstick :wink: It’s in the ability name

See it as… “When the widow plants her lips on her victim’s cheek, the toxic from the lipstick seeps into his skin causing his vocal chords to break down temporarily.”

She’s immune to it because she drank an antidote before applying it :wink:

Surely one kisses them on the lips which causes their lips to swell up meaning they can’t talk

That’s exactly what I’m gonna use <3

Added

“The Warden” because Ruby likes Unique Faction Counters

Added another Day ability to Warden.

This is just fucking confusing for my pleb brain. Still very good though.

I can’t wait until they test it out.

I appreciate the support :grin:

At first I thought that it might have been a little overpowered, what with always having somebody who can kill, and not always being able to Occupy them to stop kills, which really amps up the fact of “Oh, we really have to get rid of these guys”
