Saruman

Once per game, if the dead equal or outnumber the living, privately make a wish. Until then, you might register as good.

Saruman, the white wizard, reveals his true nature amidst calamity.

  • Saruman might register as good, but cannot falsely register as a different character or as having a different character type.
  • After Saruman makes their wish, they no longer misregister to any character.
  • Saruman should never misregister to the Ring.
  • Saruman may only make their wish during the day when the dead equal or outnumber the living.

At any point before Saruman makes their wish, each time Saruman is targeted by an ability that detects or affects evil players, choose which alignment Saruman registers as. (Treat Saruman as good or evil for the purposes of that ability).

While the number of dead players equals or exceeds the number of alive players, during the day, Saruman can take the Storyteller aside to make a wish. When they do so, 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 Saruman with the NO ABILITY reminder.

Treebeard votes on only Saruman during the day. That night, Treebeard learns "Good", even though Saruman is evil.
Saruman makes the wish "I wish for Riley to be poisoned." the Storyteller agrees, and poisons Riley, who is Boromir.
Saruman makes the wish "I wish to add two more outsiders to the game." the storyteller believes this ability would be too powerful at the moment, and proposes that 1 outsider be added instead. Saruman thinks that would be too weak, and argues the point. Eventually they settle on Saruman getting to add 1 outsider, but getting to choose which Outsider is added. The wish is then granted.
Saruman tells the Storyteller "I don't know how I should make the wish, but I want help finding the Ringbearer." the Storyteller proposes the wish "I wish to know which players have been Ringbearers so far." Saruman likes that wish, and agrees. The Storyteller says that only Isabelle and Beth have been Ringbearers so far.
