Apprentice and Deviant: Difference between pages

Revision as of 23:36, 4 March 2023

"Twas the lady's quip, forsooth."

Appears in Information

Type

Traveller

The Deviant can avoid being Exiled - as long as the Deviant player has been amusing today.

Character Text

"If you were funny today, you can not be exiled."

Examples

The evil Deviant cracks a few jokes, and gets a few laughs, but the players nevertheless decide to exile them. Even though there are enough votes, the Storyteller decides to keep the Deviant alive.

On the third day, the Deviant was slightly funny, and cannot be exiled. On the fourth day, the Deviant was not very funny, and is successfully exiled.

Tips & Tricks (if you are good)

Oh man. If you are hoping that this wiki entry will teach you how to be funny, you are in trouble. See if you can get a giggle. Do your best, and use your words to lighten the mood - even setting a good vibe might be enough to avoid dying. Above all, relax, be yourself, and be ok with not being funny, should it pan out that way. Sometimes we all fall flat. Good luck :)

If you are the Deviant, but find it too much of a challenge to be funny on call, talk to the Storyteller. Together, you may determine different criteria for whether the Deviant is exiled. Instead of “being funny”, you could “create a positive mood” or “be helpful to others” instead. The Deviant is not a serious character, and its purpose is to provide an avenue for laughter, lightheartedness, and fun, so talk to the Storyteller about adjusting the Deviant criteria to your needs and talents.

Some personal favorite comedy routines for people in need of inspiration: Steve Wright, Larry Miller, and Jonathan Burns.

 == Tips & Tricks (if you are good) ==
-* The strategy that you employ will depend almost entirely on which Townsfolk ability you gain. If you become the {{Good|Gambler}}, then play the game as you would a normal {{Good|Gambler}}. If you become a {{Good|Sailor}}, then play the game as if you were a {{Good|Sailor}}.
+* Oh man. If you are hoping that this wiki entry will teach you how to be funny, you are in trouble. See if you can get a giggle.

-* Feel free to lie about which character ability you gained. If you lie that you gained the {{Good|Courtier}}'s power, you may successfully lure the Demon into attacking you. The good team losing a Traveller at night is a much more favorable outcome than the good team losing a Townsfolk (because Travellers don't count as players for evil's "two players left alive" victory condition), so by tricking the Demon into attacking you, you've helped the good team. Similarly, you can lie about who you are to prevent the evil team from attacking you. An {{Evil|Assassin}} is unlikely to use their precious ability to kill an {{Traveler|Apprentice}} {{Good|Fool}}... but they may do so to remove an {{Traveler|Apprentice}} {{Good|Exorcist}}!
+* If you are the {{Traveler|Deviant}}, but find it too much of a challenge to be funny on call, talk to the Storyteller. Together, you may determine different criteria for whether the Deviant is exiled. Instead of “being funny”, you could “create a positive mood” or “be helpful to others” instead. The {{Traveler|Deviant}} is not a serious character, and its purpose is to provide an avenue for laughter, lightheartedness, and fun, so talk to the Storyteller about adjusting the {{Traveler|Deviant}} criteria to your needs and talents.
-* It is possible that you become the same character as someone else in play, but it is unlikely. Since there is only 1 of each token, the Storyteller will more often give you a not-in-play character's ability. Treat any players claiming to be the same character as you with suspicion.

-* The strategy that you employ will depend almost entirely on which Minion ability you gain. If you become the {{Evil|Mastermind}}, then play the game as you would a normal {{Evil|Mastermind}}. If you become a {{Evil|Devil's Advocate}}, then play the game as if you were a {{Evil|Devil's Advocate}}.

-* Pick a Townsfolk character, and claim to have gained that role's ability. If you were the good {{Traveler|Apprentice}}, you would have been woken and shown a Townsfolk whose ability you gain. Be prepared for the other players to ask you questions about which Townsfolk ability you have, and how you are using it.
+* If you are the {{Traveler|Deviant}}, but find it too much of a challenge to be funny on call, talk to the Storyteller. Together, you may determine different criteria for whether the {{Traveler|Deviant}} is exiled. Instead of “being funny”, you could “create a positive mood” or “be helpful to others” instead.

-* If you claim to be the same character as a good player, you can either claim that the Storyteller has given you a duplicate ability as that player (which is not common, but possible), or that that player is lying about who they are. Either way, it's not the end of the world, but you may have to contend with that player one on one if you want to survive.

-* Your ability will be extremely helpful to the evil team, but only if you can learn who they are and co-ordinate with them. As the {{Evil|Devil's Advocate}}, you can save evil players from death, but you'll need to know who they are first. As the {{Evil|Assassin}}, you can kill any good player needed, but you'll need to know which players are good first. As the {{Evil|Mastermind}}, you can win the game by getting the Demon executed, but you'll need to communicate to the Minions that this is what you are doing so that they know to vote. If you are the {{Evil|Godfather}}, you'll need to know which players are Outsiders, and not Minions pretending to be Outsiders. Whichever Minion ability you gain, you'll work best if you can talk to the Demon, let them know that you are evil, find out who the Minions are, and communicate with them well.
