Lore: Gifted with the ability to see the future, the prophets used to be strong allies of the Blue Dragon, however, their power and reputation tainted them, and made them corrupt and unreliable by tricking the people with fake prophecies. The king executed most of them, but a few of them hid in the shadows. Now, they formed a faction destined to use their powers to destroy the Blue Dragon, and rise to power once again.
Description: The prophets are a faction with great conversion power but they can be easy to predict since they announce their targets. Their killing power is situational, but most of their roles have killing abilities. As the name suggests, Prophet games would involve a lot of prediction, both from the Prophets themselves and from the BD, since they can trick players by making false prophecies. Prophets are specially vulnerable to observers, and the BD investigative on Scholar games is more similar to an observer than a sheriff. The prophets always start with two roles, “The Oracle” and another random prophet.
Note: Every single “Prophecy” ability will make the prophet that used it visit its target at night (when the prophecy becomes true) even though they are day abilities, unless it is fake.
The Oracle:
Unique Special, Prophet
Passive ability 1
When you die, other roles will still be able to target you. All of your prophets can use their night ability “Gather power: Visit the Oracle tonight to gather his powers, turning you into the new Oracle. If more than one prophet uses this ability the same day only the first to use it will visit the Oracle.”
- Day ability 1: Advent
At the end of the next night, you will visit your target and convert it to the False Prophets. When you use this ability, a message will be shown to the public telling them who will be converted. There can be a max of 3 other prophets at the same time. If you convert someone while you have the max number of prophets the oldest non-oracle prophet will die. No cool-down, infinite uses.
- Day ability 2: Fake advent
Select a player and send a public message telling the chat that said player will be converted this night. You will not visit said player and they will not be converted. Infinite uses.
- Night ability 1:
Convert someone who visits you tonight. 3 uses. If several people visit you only the first convertible player will be converted. If you convert someone while you have the max number of prophets the oldest non-oracle prophet will die. If you are dead, you can still use this ability but only once.
The Oracle has great conversion power with advent but can be predicted easily if you are not careful, since it announces who you will be visiting to convert. Fake advent can be used to trick players into wasting their abilities in someone else, or to think someone has been converted when they weren’t. You can also use fake advent on yourself and then use your night ability to trick investigative roles into visiting you and then convert them. The Oracle is not immune to death at night and if he dies the prophets can easily replace him, but an observer can easily find who visited the Oracle. To counter this, the oracle can use his night ability once after he dies, so he will have to try and predict if any investigative roles will try and check his corpse.

Night ability 1: Field Research
If a player is visited by a member of the Prophets tonight, you will be notified and you will get a list of everyone who visited your target. If you used skepticism, the player you visit tonight will also be immune to conversions. Infinite uses.
The scholar is different than investigative classes like the sheriff and the paladin, instead of finding if a target is part of the Prophets directly, he can find them by checking their targets. Since prophets usually announce their targets the scholar can easily find the prophets, however, since other BD roles will probably try to visit said target as well, you will have to figure out who is a prophet from your list of suspects. Skepticism is a powerful ability that can help you survive conversions if the Oracle tries to bait you into visiting him and to prevent conversions on someone else, but you will be vulnerable for 2 whole days after you use it. Scientific method can also help you find out if a prophecy will become true to help you avoid baits, but you can only use it once and it becomes less useful if there are many prophecies being made at the same time, since you will only know how many will become true, but not which of them.
