Fortune Teller (Seer) - Each Night Round the Fortune Teller (Seer) is allowed to "Peek" a player's true role in the game. To "Peek" a player, the Fortune Teller must sent a PM (Private Message) to the game host indicating the name of the player they wish to "Peek". At the start of the following Day Round, the game host will PM the Fortune Teller (Seer) revealing the true role of their chosen "Peek". In this version of the Werewolf game, there is only 1 Fortune Teller (Seer) per game. The Fortune Teller (Seer) must help the other Villagers to correctly identify and kill the Werewolves without in turn, being indentified as the Fortune Teller (Seer) by the Werewolves.

Cupid or Lovers.PNG

Cupido (Lovers) - Cupido can pick any 2 players including himself or herself to be Lovers. During the first Night Round of the game, the player who is Cupido will send a PM (Private Message) to the game host indicating the names of 2 players. At the start of the following Day Round, the game host will PM (Private Message) the 2 players chosen to be Lovers. The Lovers cannot at anytime, even in jest, vote to lynch the other. If at any time, one Lover is killed, the other Lover immediately commits suicide out of grief.

Special Case - If one of the Lovers is a Werewolf and the other a Villager of some sort, the object of the game changes for these 2 players. In order for the Lovers to win the game, they must kill all of the other players including the other Werewolves.

Witch.PNG

The Witch - The player who is the Witch knows how to make 2 powerful potions. The first is a Healing Potion which can be used to resurrect a player that is killed by a Werewolf. To use this potion, after the start of the Day Round and after the Werewolves kill has been announced by the game host, the player who is the Witch must send a PM (Private Message) to the game host indicating that the Witch would like to resurrect the Werewolves most recent kill. The second potion is a Poison that can only be used during the Night Round to kill a player. To use this potion, the player who is the Witch must send a PM (Private Message) to the game host indicating the name of the player they wish to Poison. The Witch may use either potion on himself/herself if he/she wishes.

Hunter.PNG

Hunter - If the Hunter is killed by the Werewolves or lynched by the Villagers, he/she can retaliate. With the Hunter's dying breath, the Hunter shoots and kills one of his attackers. In the case of being killed by the Werewolves during the Night Round, a Werewolf is randomly selected by the game host and killed. In the case of the Hunter being lynched by the Villagers during the Day Round, the game host will randomly select one of the players who voted for the Hunter and kill them.

Note: This role has been modified for forum play. The original role description allows the Hunter to choose any player as his intended target and that player will immediately be killed. Since the Hunter may not be online at the time of his/her death and unable to give the name of an intended target immediately to the game host and to keep the game moving, the game host will randomly select a target as outlined above.

Thief.PNG

Thief - If the Thief is used in the game, prior to the random assigning of roles by the game host, the game host will add 2 extra Villager roles to the intended role assignments. The game host will then randomly assign the roles to players. During the first Night Round, the game host will reveal the 2 extra remaining roles to the Thief. The player who is the Thief may trade his role for one of the 2 remaining roles if he/she so chooses. However, if the 2 remaining roles are both Werewolves, the Thief must take on the role of a Werewolf for the duration of the game.

Upon the death of the Sheriff, the Sheriff will name a successor who will then become the new Sheriff.
