Bluffing as the Plague Doctor

	* Plague Doctors are almost never happy to die – they know they have a major negative impact on the good team’s chances. Use this as an argument to survive for as long as possible. It’s one of the few characters, much like the {{Good\|Saint}}, who will almost always fight hard to survive and therefore you can use this to keep your Minion ability active for as long as possible or to survive to the endgame as the Demon.		* Plague Doctors are almost never happy to die - they know they have a major negative impact on the good team’s chances.

	* Consider hiding a Minion ability if possible, so that when you die it looks like a Minion ability has ~~been added~~. This can be tricky, depending what Minion abilities you have to work with~~, but with~~ the right abilities to “confirm you” as the Plague Doctor this can ~~really~~ help you ~~get trusted~~ and drive the good ~~team~~ narrative as a result. The balance, ~~of course~~, is that ~~this means using~~ a Minion ability ~~far~~ less effectively ~~for the period of the game up until you die, so you may want to consider the next option instead~~.		* Consider hiding a Minion ability (if possible) so that when you die it looks like a Minion ability has entered play. This can be tricky, depending what Minion abilities you have to work with. With the right abilities to “confirm you” as the Plague Doctor, this can help you gain trust and drive the good team’s narrative as a result. The balance, however, is that hiding a Minion ability may mean using that ability less effectively while you’re alive.

	* Have ~~living~~ evil ~~players~~ claim to ~~have been~~ affected by a ~~“Storyteller-used~~ Minion ability” ~~once~~ you die to back up your bluff. ~~This means you don’t have to hide a Minion ability until you die, you can just have evil players pretend to be affected by an additional ability. This, of course~~, has the downside of linking you directly to your fellow evil players, so the pressure is ~~very much~~ on at that point to ~~be convincingly~~ good ~~yourself~~!		* Have your evil teammates claim to be affected by a “new Minion ability” when you die, to back up your bluff. Be careful, though - this has the downside of linking you directly to your fellow evil players, so the pressure is on at that point to convince the good team that you’re one of them!

	* ~~Emphasise your deductions around working~~ out ~~which~~ Minion ~~abilities are~~ in ~~play so “you know what~~ you ~~might add when~~ you ~~die”. This is usually~~ the ~~focus of a~~ Plague Doctor ~~anyway~~, but ~~gives you a gilt-edged opportunity to mislead and misdirect from~~ the ~~get-go as to what seems to currently be in play~~.		* After you die, talk to the good team, and pretend to figure out what Minion ability has entered play because of your death. If good players think you’re invested in figuring out how your ability has harmed the good team, they’re more likely to think that you’re good, too.

			* After you die, change your claim completely! Lie and say you were claiming to be the Plague Doctor to convince the evil team to kill you, but you’re actually the {{Good\|Ravenkeeper}} or the {{Good\|Sage}}.

	* You are, of course, not the Plague Doctor, so there will be no Minion ability added to the game when you die. Be prepared to change your claim at that point to cater to this or have a plausible story as to why your ability might not have worked. Maybe the Storyteller gained a passive ability? Maybe you were wrong about which Minion abilities were already in play, so the Storyteller actually gained something no-one was expecting. Maybe there’s a {{Evil\|Pit-Hag}} that changed the current Minions just before you died so the Storyteller gained a Minion ability that used to be in play at the start of the game.

	* ~~Don’t let yourself get executed~~! You don’t want to give the evil team an extra ability~~, so the~~ longer you ~~last~~, the less ~~that~~ ability ~~is going~~ to ~~affect~~ the ~~game~~.		* Convince the town to keep you alive! You don’t want to give the evil team an extra ability. The longer you live, the less damaging your ability will be to the good team.

	* ~~When you do die, look~~ for the ~~Minion ability that came into play as a result~~. ~~This will prove you’re good if you can either point out~~ a ~~publicly visible ability~~ or ~~show evidence~~ of a ~~more subtle one to the~~ other ~~good players, which reinforces your alignment~~ and ~~proves your identity as an Outsider~~.		* Bluff as an undesirable target for the Demon. Claim to be a character the Demon wouldn’t want to touch, like the Sage or the Banshee, or claim to be a character who has already gotten all of your information, like the Knight. If the Demon thinks you’re not a priority, they’ll focus on other targets and keep you alive.

	* Meta your ~~storyteller – if~~ there’s an ability you think your Storyteller will want you can use that to ~~deduce~~ which ~~Minions are likely to have been in~~ play ~~from~~ the ~~start in order to leave space for your~~ Storyteller ~~to gain~~ the Minion ability ~~they’re likely to be most interested in gaining~~.		* If you die, tell everyone who you are immediately. Knowing you’re the Plague Doctor is extremely important for the good team, since your ability activates on death. It’s also worth revealing if you’re going to be executed - if the Demon knows who you are, they’ll need to choose between killing you or killing a strong information-gathering character, like the Mathematician or the Chambermaid.

			* When you die, look for the Minion ability that came into play as a result of your death. If you can point out a publicly visible ability, or show evidence of an ability to a good teammate, this helps prove you are the Plague Doctor and reinforces your alignment.

			* Meta your Storyteller! If there’s an ability you think your Storyteller will want to use, you can use that to figure out which Minion ability entered play when you died.

			* If you die, assume that the Storyteller will use their Minion ability where it hurts the most. Since the Storyteller has perfect knowledge of the Grimoire, they can use a Minion ability more effectively than a Minion can.

	* You can generally assume that a Minion ability wielded by the Storyteller is going to be used more effectively that it might be by a Minion, since the Storyteller has perfect knowledge of the game, so be wary of how the game balance might swing when you die.
