Artistotle’s Sorcerer

Town Killer

Virtuous Mission (Night) - Target a player. They will become a Compulsive Suicide Bomber for the following day. Privately, they must choose a player to detonate upon by the end of the day or their target will be randomized amongst all alive players other than themselves. The detonation’s result will be determined by the arbitrary morality of the detonator. If the detonated player was the top wagon or was confirmed to be informed minority by some means, then the detonator will not die (does not count votes by the detonator). If the detonated player had no votes or was confirmed to be uninformed majority by some means, only the detonator will die. If the detonated player was directly involved in one or more uninformed majority player’s deaths and does not fit into the above categories, then both the detonator and the detonated player will die. Any other situation will result in no player dying.

Machivelli’s Sorcerer

Town Killer

Multi-Track Drifting (Night) - Target a player. They will become a Compulsive Suicide Bomber for the following day. Privately, they must choose a player to detonate upon by the end of the day or their target will be randomized amongst all alive players other than themselves. The detonation’s result will be determined by the arbitrary morality of the detonation. Player(s) involved will die in an amount equal to how useful the detonation will be for the uninformed majority.

Hosting note: don’t just run this like an omniscient sorcerer. There’s a case to be made for blowing up villagers being a +EV thing for town by reducing PoE. If you don’t feel like you’re confident in choosing who dies, then defer to the trolley problem (informed spec players).
