All
King Change, Only king and killer will know if their protection target was attacked.

Small Changes
Small Change:
Noble Twin - Removed.
Pretender Is Incompatible with BD.

Having it be disabled when there are less than 5 players leads a bunch of potential stalemates with cult unless Grand Trial is unlimited use.

How does this interact with neutrals?

How does this interact with Drunk, CL and MM?

2 sounds nearly impossible. If it was just cultseen then yeah 2 would make sense but there is also neuts and more importantly the NK and EK.

I’d make it 3.

Also what about royal blood?

The NK should not have limited death immunity. Reaper only does because it’s stronger than normal death immunity and even then he has way more than just 2.

Neutrals bypass framing so it doesn’t do anything to Inq, Still hears the feedback

Honestly didn’t think of that, two target abilities (Like deb will deb that person into you). Converts have no effect.

Not really it allows two non bd to be executed not counting yourself.

She doesn’t really need it but I could add it back.

That was a typo left over from copying and pasting.

Not what I meant. What happens if a Neutral is checked by a sheriff/observer/whatever with this ability on them?

Sheriff see’s them as unseen as that’s the reverse of the result (Maybe that could do with a change as it hurts the objective).

Princess will see Killers as S/i.

It makes kings less swingy a dumb cult wasting all there erads is a small price to pay imo.

Might help with theory crafting the winrate but I’m going to record how many time more then two non-bd get executed on trial

Also added RB as a passive to pret

Good idea.

I’d take whatever the average number you get to and round down

A slight change to pret will be a Fool execute won’t count either.

The Royal Finger (Passive) - You’re vote Counts twice unless their are less then 5 players alive.

I like the general direction you are proposing but I always will hate arbitrary rules. I don’t like MM being invisible for only 3 nights either, for instance.

It creates special cases that have to be considered in deductions that complicates them and makes them tedious

I feel like the slight complication is needed in terms of balancing king.

King having majority in 1v2’s would be a bad thing, so the passive disables when their are less then 5 players alive.

Right but he doesn’t.

He can only get majority in a 2v2/1v1, otherwise trials mean he can’t cheese a lynch when he’s outnumbered.

King gets a double vote though currently including Exe/Pardon.

well my remake of kang

That’s silly. Don’t do that.

Double vote is best used as a tie breaker when 2 factions are of equal numbers.

ok I won’t be silly but kings ability still disabled.

Kinda defeats the whole point

Of what?
