Mad Scientist

Role Description

The Mad Scientist is mad and scientific. This one man team has the ability to kill using various styles. It is similar to the Shapeshifter in that it can choose different killing methods, but the mechanics behind the kills also change. The Mad Scientist can kill in various forms to avoid detection by Trackers, Beloved Princes and Beaters, but is also able to attack in ways that can confuse the other players.

Role Powers

• The Mad Scientist attacks every night, but selects the type of kill from a provided list. The same attack cannot be selected twice in a row.
• Each attack has a slightly different kill method, although it will be obvious that they belong to the one player/team
• The attacks can include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Normal night kill
  • Delayed style kill
  • Paranoia style kill
  • Witch Doctor style kill (minus the extra charms)
  • Illusionist style kill
  • Blackmailer style kill
  • Malicious Hypnotist style kill
  • Malicious Poisoner style kill
  • Vampire style kill
  • Normal night kill that is immune to certain abilities (e.g. cannot be redirected, cannot be stopped)
  • Not all of these have to be used
• The Mad Scientist has a daykill

Alternatives

• The Mad Scientist may have an heir
• The different kills may have requirements to them, e.g. can only target players of a specific gender or can only target players with more than three vowels in their name, etc
• The description for the different attacks may be the same (e.g. ALL of the attacks maul a player, instead of one mauling, one biting, etc)
• Before the Mad Scientist can repeat an attack type, it must have used all of its attacks
