Denethor

Once while you are alive, and once while you are dead, a townsfolk ability might yield false info or succeed when it shouldn't.

Denethor's rule leads to naught but ruin, making Townsfolk unsure whether their information can be trusted, or their abilities worked as intended.

• Denethor's ability only applies to Townsfolk. It cannot affect the abilities of Minions, Outsiders, or the Demon.
• Denethor's ability can only work 1 time while they are alive, and 1 time while they are dead, no matter how many times Denethor lives or dies.
• Denethor's ability causes abilities to act falsely. It cannot cause abilities not to function, only to yield false info or work when they otherwise wouldn't.
• Denethor's ability should, generally, work against the good team—he is an Outsider, and should not grant Gandalf the conditions to make a wish, for example.
• Denethor's ability can (but is not limited in its ability to): Make Merry's info false, even when Pippin is not in play, show Gimli a character even when no Ringbearer has died, force a player to pass the Ring to Bilbo, execute a player nominated by Éowyn, or resurrect a player nominated by Faramir against his will.
• Denethor's ability can only cause abilities to work by meeting unmet conditions. Éowyn's ability cannot "work when it shouldn't" when another player nominates, only when Éowyn does, for example.
• Denethor cannot make impossible game actions take place.

Whenever a Townsfolk ability could succeed, the Storyteller may decide that it succeeds it via Denethor, and whenever a Townsfolk learns true information, the Storyteller may decide that it is false via Denethor, if Denethor does not have the ONCE reminder respective of their current state (ALIVE or DEAD). Then, place that reminder.

Resolve the effects of an ability affected as if all of its conditions are met, even if they are not, or make any information that ability would yield false.

Do not remove Denethor's reminders unless they change characters, even between deaths and resurrections.
