Faramir

Summary

Once per game, at night*, choose that the executee you nominated is resurrected if good.

Faramir knows the way of mercy, and mercy yields bonds of trust.

Faramir must nominate a player, and then that player must be executed, for Faramir to wake.
If Faramir chooses to use their ability and the executee they nominated was good, that player is resurrected, becoming alive again.
Faramir may only choose to use their ability once per game, whether it succeeds or fails.
Resurrected players may or may not get to act on the night of their resurrection, depending on whether they would act before or after Faramir. If they had a “first night only” or “you start knowing” ability, they immediately wake to use it again, as soon as Faramir goes to sleep.

How to Run

When Faramir nominates a player, if that player is executed, mark them with the MERCY? reminder. Remove this reminder at dawn.

Each night, if any player has a MERCY? reminder, wake Faramir. Show them the USE YOUR ABILITY? info card. They either nod or shake their head.

If Faramir nodded yes, and their executee was good, that player becomes alive again—mark them with the ALIVE reminder and remove their shroud. (They wake later tonight if they normally would. If they wake on the first night only, they wake now to use their ability.) At dawn, after declaring which players died, declare which player is alive again. (Do not say why.) Whether the player is resurrected or not, Faramir loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder.

If Faramir shook their head no, put them back to sleep.

Examples

Faramir nominates Bacon, who is executed. Bacon was the evil Bilbo. When Faramir chooses to resurrect them, nothing happens.

Faramir nominates Camren, who is executed. Camren was the Oathbreaker, who is now good. When Faramir chooses to resurrect them, they come back to life (and become evil again).

Faramir nominates Kai, but fails to get them executed. The following day, Faramir nominates Phillip, who is Treebeard, and successfully executes them. When Faramir chooses to resurrect them tonight, they come back to life.

"I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway. Not were Minas Tirith falling in ruin and I alone could save her, so, using the weapon of the Dark Lord for her good and my glory. No, I do not wish for such triumphs."
