Illithid

On your 1st night, choose a player: they mad they are not their character, or Townsfolk abilities yield false information.

The Illithid makes the truth to maddening to bear.

  • On their first night, the Illithid chooses a player to make mad.
  • If the chosen player pretends to be another character than the one they actually are, then information remains as it should be.
  • However, if the chosen player does not make an attempt to hide their true character (and especially if they openly reveal it) then Townsfolk information becomes false.
  • The Storyteller decides whether the mad player is concealing their character appropriately. If they do not claim to be another character, or if their claims are not strong enough (such as creating obviously bad information or not challenging others who claim their role), then the Storyteller may decide to make all information from now on false.

On the Illithid's first night, they point to any player. Put the Illithid to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the MAD token. Wake the chosen player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Illithid token. Put that player to sleep.

If you feel that the chosen player has not done their best to convince the group they are a character other than their own, put the Illithid's FALSE INFO token in the centre of the left side of the Grimoire.

From now on, while the Illithid has their ability, you must give false information whenever a Townsfolk ability prompts you to give information.

The Illithid chooses the Druid on the first night. For the rest of the game, they claim to be the Bard and make up false information. The Storyteller keeps Townsfolk information true, as they feel the Druid is appropriately concealing their character.
The Cleric is made mad by the Illithid. They pretend to be a Kobold for most of the game, until they die and resurrect the Artificer. As a result, Townsfolk information is false from then on.
The Zombie claims to be the Fighter made mad by the Illithid, but they have not. Townsfolk information remains true.
