Grease Monkey

Summary

Once per game, a Minion can choose which Minions or Demon is in play, even if you die. You learn what changed.

The Grease Monkey allows a Minion to engineer the evil team's composition.

The Grease Monkey allows a Minion to choose which Minion characters are in play, or which Demon is in play, but not both. The Minion may do so even if they or the Grease Monkey are dead.
After the Minion makes their choice, if the Grease Monkey lives, they learn which evil characters entered play.
When the Grease Monkey's ability creates new in-play characters, the Demon player remains the Demon, and the Minion players remain Minions. The number of evil players stays the same.
If the Minion tries to create an in-play character, that character stays as the same player. Neither the Minion or the Grease Monkey learn this, but the ability cannot be used again.
If creating Minions, the Minion player cannot choose more than the number of Minions that are expected to be in-play.

How to Run

On the 1st night, choose which Minion has the Grease Monkey's ability. Mark them with the GEARED UP reminder token.

Each night, wake the Minion marked with the GEARED UP reminder and show them the Grease Monkey's character token. They either shake their head no or point at evil characters on the character sheet.

If they shake their head no, nothing happens. Put the Minion to sleep.

If they point to a Demon or Minions on their character sheet, put them to sleep. Swap all appropriate character tokens with new character tokens. Wake each evil player that changed character, show the YOU ARE info token, then their new character token, then put them to sleep. If the Grease Monkey lives, wake them & show them which evil characters you added into play, if any. The Minion loses the Grease Monkey ability—remove the GEARED UP reminder token.

Examples

Bernard the Baron learns that he has been granted the Grease Monkey's ability. Bernard decides to change the Minions into a Goblin and Widow. There is already a Widow in-play, so Bernard becomes the Goblin. Martha the Grease Monkey learns that the Goblin is in-play.

There is a Poppy Grower in-play, so Lukas the Boffin does not know their evil team. Lukas learns that he has been granted the Grease Monkey's ability. He decides to create a Ojo in order to prevent the Demon from accidentally killing him. There is already an Ojo in-play however, so nothing happens, and the Grease Monkey does not learn anything.

Juliette is the Grease Monkey, and she is executed on the 1st day. That night, the Minion decides to create a Vortox. Juliette does not learn this happened, because she is dead.
