Assassins 2 Signup

[DarkCloud]

Given that, they'll wait until the end of the game to use them, right?

If they wait to the end of the game and they are say... a cleric, and there are 2 clerics in the game- they can avoid killing the 2nd cleric and blame it on him at the end.

however, if they are a sorceror, they win by killing 3 with the magic and one with their ability. or something of that nature.

therefore, it is in the villagers best interest to kill the clerics/sorcerors early... perhaps.

Maybe I should deactivate the assassin special abillities?
Because they might doom certain players?

I'd say try it without assassin powers this time. We have enough added complexity without them, IMO.

[DarkCloud]

okay, I'll take them out.

*Update

CLASSES

RED Font= Power that is secretly activated. Remember, you can still say "VOTE SENT" even if your character really can't vote that round.
BLUE font = Power that is revealed to all.

Paladin
(The warrior for good- the Paladin is pure of heart and must always act to nourish the weak, and correct injustice where it exists.
The Paladin can cast PRAYER, and healing spells to bless the troops...)
(MUST BE LAWFUL GOOD)
[Can Petition a god for guidance in voting ONCE per game.
(and the petition for guidance will result in myself voting for the correct assassin for your character- however your character will have no idea who they voted for)
[WARNING: Paladins, being Lawful Good, feel compelled to tell the group who they voted for if someone asks them.
They must search out evil wherever it exists- and, they figure, someone who kills, must be evil. Therefore, others should vote as they do. They fear no retribution. Their God will look over them.
Their votes will not be secret]
[NOTE: Only THREE Paladins per group of 20]

Ranger
(The scout. A great archer)
(The Ranger has the ability to Look for Clues which can be used TWICE per game. When used, the GM will inform the player, in private, which hints are real and which are red herrings for that round and that round only.

Fighter
(The generic warrior)
(The Fighter has the ability to SLAY assassin for ONE round... If the assassin targets him that round, the assassin auto-dies because of the Fighters alert skills.)

Barbarian
(Man of the Wild- ferocious fighter)
[ONCE Per game can determine one player to die whom he acuses of being the Assassin. None will oppose the Barbarian as he goes into his rage.
HOWEVER, the next 3 turns the Barbarian is withheld from the voting circle.]

[Limit: TWO Barbarians per group of 20]

Sorcerer
(Naturally attuned to magic)
[ONCE per game can make his/her vote count double...but the same round that this is invoked- S(he) will receive an additional 2 votes against him/herself]
(Sorcerer has the ability to Influence. Once per game he use it on another player, who will automatically vote for the person the sorcerer names. However, the player so influenced will automatically vote against the sorcerer the next round because of the wills of magic. However, this power cannot occur when there are less than 4 survivors left. The GM does the switching behind the scenes both times)

Wizard
(Researcher of Magic)
[ONCE per game can cast a diviniation and discover all the votes made by everyone the previous round... however, the Paladin's secret power vote will always be shielded from him by his gods.]

Cleric
(Servant of a God)
[ONCE per round can protect ONE player from the Assassin. The next round, the cleric loses his vote because he is tired]

Druid
(Servant of Nature)
[ONCE per game can raise one player from the dead. After this however, the Druid loses all ability to vote and falls into a coma for 3 days. The person who is raised gains a special hint about the assassin.]

[NOTE: Only THREE Druids per group of 20]

Monk
(Hand-to-hand fighter. The Monk disdains weapons)

(ONCE per game the Monk can chose to stay awake for 24 hours and be immune from assassins. However, he will lose the ability to vote next turn.)
[NOTE: Only ONE Monk per group of 20]

[General Ludd]

If we don't start the game soon, it's going to lose steam and people who signed up way at the start might lose interest or even forget that they signed up.

Just sayin'

It's happened before.

[DarkCloud]

I know.

I've done my best. I even PMed Nuclear Master.

I think we might as well just start with 15, since I need to log off for the day soon.

[DarkCloud]

There. Posted. I still haven't sent the assassin instructions yet however... I've been toying with 'forcing' him to kill the nonexistent 16th player... and call that player Nuclear Master or someone who might have joined... hmm... anyone think that's a good idea?

Then again, NM still has a minute or two before I roll the d20 hopefully he'll show up

Might aswell.

[DarkCloud]

done deal. the hint will be forthcoming

[joncha]

Doesn't an odd number screw up the voting?

[DarkCloud]

we added a 16th- nuclear master's dead on the first round.

[DrSpike]

That's the best way to handle an odd number. I'll check out the thread now.
