== Djinn Special Rules ==
Special rules for characters from Trouble Brewing, Sects & Violets, and Bad Moon Rising:
* {{Evil|Fang Gu}} and {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}}: If the {{Evil|Fang Gu}} chooses an outsider and dies, the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} does not become the {{Evil|Fang Gu}}.
* {{Good|Chambermaid}} and {{Good|Mathematician}}: The {{Good|Chambermaid}} learns if the {{Good|Mathematician}} wakes tonight or not, even though the {{Good|Chambermaid}} wakes first.
* {{Good|Lunatic}} and {{Good|Mathematician}}: The {{Good|Mathematician}} learns if the {{Good|Lunatic}} attacks a different player(s) than the real Demon attacks.
Special rules involving Experimental characters:
* Many pairs of characters follow the "hate" jinx special rule of: "Only one jinxed character can be in play". Currently, these character pairs are:
** {{Evil|Godfather}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Good|Spy}} and {{Good|Damsel}}
** {{Good|Spy}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Evil|Widow}} and {{Good|Damsel}}
** {{Evil|Widow}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Evil|Legion}} and {{Good|Preacher}}
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Good|Magician}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Exorcist}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Flowergirl}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Minstrel}}
** {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}} and {{Evil|Mastermind}}, with the additional rule that evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
* Some pairs of characters cannot be in play in the start of the game, or have special rules relating to their creation:
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Damsel}}: If a {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates a {{Good|Damsel}}, the Storyteller chooses which player it is.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Heretic}}: A {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} cannot create a {{Good|Heretic}}.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Politician}}: A {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} cannot create an evil {{Good|Politician}}.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Evil|Riot}}: If the {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates {{Evil|Riot}}, all evil players become {{Evil|Riot}}. If the {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates {{Evil|Riot}} after day 3, the game continues for one more day.
** {{Good|Engineer}} and {{Evil|Legion}}: {{Evil|Legion}} and the {{Good|Engineer}} cannot both be in play at the start of the game. If the {{Good|Engineer}} creates {{Evil|Legion}}, most players (including all evil players) become evil {{Evil|Legion}}.
** {{Good|Engineer}} and {{Evil|Riot}}: {{Evil|Riot}} and the {{Good|Engineer}} cannot both be in play at the start of the game. If the {{Good|Engineer}} creates {{Evil|Riot}}, the evil players become {{Evil|Riot}}.
* Several experimental townsfolk characters ({{Good|Alchemist}}, {{Good|Magician}}, {{Good|Poppy Grower}}) interact poorly with Minion characters ({{Good|Spy}} and {{Evil|Widow}}) that get to see the Grimoire. The jinxes between these characters are:
** {{Good|Alchemist}}: The {{Good|Alchemist}} cannot have the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} ability.
** {{Good|Magician}}: When the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} sees the Grimoire, the Demon and the {{Good|Magician}}'s character tokens are removed.
** {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: If the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} is in play, the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} does not see the Grimoire until the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} dies.
* Other jinxes between experimental townsfolk and good characters are:
** {{Good|Lycanthrope}} and {{Good|Gambler}}: If the {{Good|Lycanthrope}} is alive and the {{Good|Gambler}} kills themselves at night, no other players can die tonight.
** {{Good|Cannibal}} and {{Good|Butler}}: If the {{Good|Cannibal}} gains the {{Good|Butler}} ability, the {{Good|Cannibal}} learns this.
* The {{Evil|Marionette}} has six special rules:
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Balloonist}}: If the {{Evil|Marionette}} thinks that they are the {{Good|Balloonist}}, +1 Outsider was added.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Huntsman}}: If the {{Evil|Marionette}} thinks that they are the {{Good|Huntsman}}, the {{Good|Damsel}} was added.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: When the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} dies, the Demon learns the {{Evil|Marionette}} but the {{Evil|Marionette}} learns nothing.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Damsel}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} does not learn that a {{Good|Damsel}} is in play.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Snitch}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} does not learn three not-in-play characters. The Demon learns an extra three instead.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} neighbours a Minion, not the Demon. The {{Evil|Marionette}} is not woken to choose who takes the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token, and does not learn they are the {{Evil|Marionette}} if they have the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token.
* The {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} has four special rules:
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Butler}}: If the Organ Grinder is causing eyes closed voting, the Butler may raise their hand to vote but their vote is only counted if their master voted too.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Flowergirl}}: If players' eyes were closed during the nominations, the Flowergirl learns how many times the Demon voted.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Minstrel}}: Only 1 jinxed character can be in play. Evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Preacher}}: Only 1 jinxed character can be in play. Evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
* Additional special rules for minions and Minion characters:
** {{Evil|Baron}} and {{Good|Heretic}}: The {{Evil|Baron}} might only add one outsider, not two.
** {{Evil|Cerenovus}} and {{Evil|Goblin}}: The {{Evil|Cerenovus}} may choose to make a player mad that they are the {{Evil|Goblin}}.
** {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} and {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}}: If there are two living {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}}s, the Scarlet Woman {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}} becomes the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} again.
** {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} and {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}: If there are five or more players alive and the player holding the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token dies, the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} is given the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token tonight.
** {{Evil|Mastermind}} and {{Evil|Lleech}}: If the {{Evil|Mastermind}} is alive and the {{Evil|Lleech}}'s host dies by execution, the {{Evil|Lleech}} lives but loses their ability.
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: If the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} is in play, Minions don't wake together. They are woken one by one, until one of them chooses to take the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token.
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Evil|Organ Grinder}}: Votes for the {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} count if the {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} is babysitting {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}."
* The Demon character {{Evil|Leviathan}} does not kill at night and causes the game to end at the end of day 5. It has seven special rules:
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Farmer}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and a {{Good|Farmer}} dies by execution, a good player becomes a {{Good|Farmer}} that night.

** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Sage}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and the {{Good|Sage}} dies by execution, they wake that night to use their ability.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Soldier}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} nominates and executes the {{Good|Soldier}}, the {{Good|Soldier}} does not die.
* The Demon character {{Evil|Lleech}} has two further special rules, in addition to the jinx with the {{Evil|Mastermind}}:

Icon djinn.png Information

Type Fabled

"نحن لسنا هنا.
انت لست حقيقي.
كل شيء هو وهم.
أسئلتك هي جبل نار في يوم صافٍ."

Summary

"Use the Djinn's special rule. All players know what it is."

Add the Djinn to all games with a jinx icon on the script. The Djinn resolves jinxes by creating a unique rule.

  • When creating a character list using the Script Tool, some character combinations will be marked as unusual. These two characters are jinxed—they have abilities that clash or contradict each other in some way. The Djinn creates a special rule that allows these characters to work well together. Some jinxed characters even work better with the Djinn in play!
  • The Djinn’s special rule is described by the Script Tool online, and is printed out automatically when you create a script with a character combination that is jinxed.
  • There are many different Djinn special rules. Each is tailored to a specific pair of jinxed characters.
  • If there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, even if there are no jinxed characters in play, the Storyteller tells all players what the Djinn’s special rule is at the start of the game.
  • The Djinn may have several special rules at once. If there are multiple pairs of jinxed characters on the character sheet, the players learn all the Djinn’s special rules.

How to Run

At the start of the game, if there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, declare that the Djinn is in play and inform the group of all Djinn special rules for this game. (Do this even if there are no jinxed characters in play.)

Follow the Djinn instructions as listed on the Script Tool printout.

Examples

The Pit-Hag and the Heretic are Jinxed. At the start of the game, the Storyteller reads out the Djinn's special rule: “A Pit-Hag cannot create a Heretic.” Later in the game, the Pit-Hag tries to create a Heretic. The Storyteller shakes their head, and the Pit-Hag must choose another character to create.

The Spy and the Magician are Jinxed. At the start of the game, the Storyteller reads out the Djinn's special rule: “When the Spy sees the grimoire, the Demon and the Magician's character tokens are removed. There is no Spy and no Magician in play, but the Storyteller reads this aloud anyway so that the good team doesn't know which Minion is in play.

Explanation

When creating a character list using the Script Tool, some character combinations will be marked as unusual with a little character symbol under one of the characters you have selected. These two characters are Jinxed—they have abilities that clash or contradict each other in some way. The Djinn creates a special rule that allows these characters to work well together. Some jinxed characters even work better with the Djinn in play!

The Djinn's special rule is described by the Script Tool online, and is printed out automatically when you create a script with a character combination that is jinxed. There are many different Djinn special rules. Each is tailored to a specific pair of jinxed characters. If there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, even if there are no jinxed characters in play, the Storyteller tells all players what the Djinn's special rule is at the start of the game.

The Djinn may have several special rules at once. If there are multiple pairs of jinxed characters on the character sheet, the players learn all the Djinn's special rules.
