Gandalf
If the Demon kills you, you are resurrected that night (Once). Ringbearer: Once per game, during the day, privately make a wish.
When Gandalf dies, all is not yet lost. He returns to life as Gandalf the White, should Sauron try to kill him, and is capable of making wishes if the Ring is in his hands.
- Unlike the experimental character the Wizard, Gandalf's wishes are a negotiation between the Storyteller and the Gandalf player.
- These wishes are not limited in scope, only in power. As a general rule, Gandalf's wish ought not be more powerful than something that could be achieved by meeting the conditions of another Townsfolk ability—such as a Banshee or King.
- By wishing once before death and once after, Gandalf may make two wishes. Allow the second wish to be quite powerful; for Gandalf the White must have worked very hard for such a chance.
- Let the player get creative! Let them change seating arrangements, add new rules, or do things with otherwise little precedent, as long as you're pretty sure they won't break the game in half.
- The Storyteller may negotiate conditions or costs to wishes. If a new rule was added, the Storyteller may negotiate that all players learn about the new rule. Information may come at the cost of a player's life. Find a compromise that makes both Gandalf and the Storyteller happy!
After Sauron attacks and kills Gandalf, that night, Gandalf becomes alive again—mark them with the ALIVE reminder and remove their shroud. At dawn, after declaring which players died, declare which player is alive again. (Do not say why.) Remove the WISH USED reminder, if present. Mark Gandalf with the RESURRECTED reminder, indicating that he should not be resurrected again if killed.
During the day, while Gandalf is marked with the RINGBEARER reminder, they may take you aside to make a wish. Decide if the wish is appropriate for the state of the game. Consider if it would advantage one team too heavily, or if it would lead to fun outcomes. If you believe the wish is inappropriate, propose an alternative wish that is still desirable. Repeat this process until a mutually agreeable wish is made. Once a wish is made, resolve its effects and mark Gandalf with the WISH USED reminder.
"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass! The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass."
