The Vector [Neutral Killer]

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#21

I thought, how to discourage whisper meta in a “cooler” way than Little Bird? That’s what led me to this. So the only essential element is a neutral that exploits whispers to kill people. The rest are just details which have obvious solutions that don’t involve killing the core concept.

I treat it as a joke because of how poorly it’s been received, but I do like the idea … having made it myself.

And contrary to NuclearBurrito’s statement, I believe infecting people through whispers is indeed an original idea.

Way to fix.
Can only infect 1 person every other day with a whisper

The passive states that it instantly kills them if you whisper them. If you ignore the passive you are left with an arsonist. Also this does nothing to disgurage WKM

I thought removing the “Outbreak - kill all infected immediately” was the obvious solution, otherwise I doubt infecting one whisperer every other day would discourage whispering.

The “kill people instantly by whispering them” was a joke.

It’s plaguebearer who can infect via whisper. In fact that is the class I’m proposing, in 6 words.

If plaguebearer whispers King first thing first day of every plaguebearer game, I do believe it would discourage WKM, at least if whispering to an infected player also infects you.

*arsonist

Sorcerer is Arsonist, the distinction between Arsonist and Plaguebearer is significant enough for them to both be separate classes in ToS

#27

yes. And this is an arsonist as opposed to a plaguebearer

#28

It’s at most a cross between the two but anyway I’m more interested in why you think Chrono is underpowered

#29

plaguebearer has 2 distinctions. A: infections are contagious (meaning infected players can infect more players) and B: Infections are not lethal. PB turns into pestilence when everyone is infected, the infection never kills anyone.

I did not know that. Still, this class is not arsonist unless you want to call it Arsonist who douses people with contagious accelerant that slowly kills them over time.

#31

Stopping you right there.

What you proposed is a mix of the 2, killing those infected. The plaguebearer does not kill, and instead when everyone’s infected turns into an unstoppable rampaged with high killing power.

I believe a better way to use the whispers to your advantage is to only visit to infect, then once you infected them those that whisper to or from them are infected that night, meaning it will take a while to infect everyone via whispering through the king or prince collecting claims (if your infected whispers d2, then king infected n3, and collects infects d4). Oh, and you can’t visit the king on your own.

#33

Unfortunately that would defeat the purpose of the class which is to discourage D2 whisper-claims to King

#34

which it already doesn’t

We’ve already done that with MM, now everyone whispers after D4 cause that’s when Bird runs out

except it doesn’t because MM won’t use bird if people aren’t whispering

if whispering king d2 gets you infected with 25% certainty that is a strong incentive to not do it

#38

0%. That isn’t what your class does

#39

as I posted earlier but did not bother updating in the OP, whispering to an infected also infects you

#40

also ToL players suck a probability
