MASQUERADE — The Phantom of the Opera
Townsfolk (13)
Christine DaaéOnce per game, during the day, you may publicly declare “I unmask the Phantom”: the Phantom can then die by execution today, even without the artifact.
AuctioneerYou are always healthy. At night, when you receive the artifact, you learn who passed it to you & the true character of its 1st holder that night. If it came directly from the Phantom, you are drunk tonight.
SorelliEach night, you learn if either of your 2 alive neighbors holds the artifact.
MegOnce per night, when you 1st receive the artifact, you may immediately pass it to another alive player.
Madame GiryYou start knowing 3 players, at least 1 of whom is the Demon.
PersianEach night, choose a player: you learn if they are the same alignment as the current artifact holder.
Monsieur ReyerEach night, choose a player: you learn if they are drunk or poisoned.
Inspector MifroidEach night, choose 2 other players: you learn how many of them are Outsiders or Evil. [+1 Outsider]
Stage DesignerOnce per game, at night*, choose an alive player: the artifact moves to them after the Phantom learns its location.
Ubaldo PiangiOnce per game, during the day, publicly declare that you will perform tonight. If no execution occurs today, the Phantom must choose you to die tonight. This death can't be prevented.
Raoul de ChagnyEach night*, choose a player (not yourself): they can't die tonight. If this prevents a death, you are drunk until dusk.
ManagersYou are always healthy. If you die while holding the artifact, an evil player might die instead. [+0 evil Townsfolk -0 Outsiders or +1 evil Townsfolk -1 Outsiders]
UsherEach night*, you learn if the artifact is closer to the Phantom than it was at the previous dawn
Outsider (4)
PrimadonnaIf you die by execution, the artifact holder, if a Townsfolk, doesn’t wake tonight.
Phantom’s FavouriteYou are always sober & healthy. You can't die by execution.
ClaqueYou are always healthy. Each night, a player is drunk. The drunkenness starts with either neighbor & advances 1 seat per night in the same clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
DoomedIf you die by execution while the Phantom is holding the artifact, your team loses.
Minion (4)
Trapdoor KeeperYou are always healthy. Each night, if you receive the artifact, you may keep it instead of letting it bounce to the Phantom.
Mirror KeeperYou are always healthy & might register as good. You start knowing a good player. When you receive the artifact, it moves to them instead & you learn this. If they die, you lose your ability.
Chandelier RiggerThe Phantom’s 1st attack while drunk or poisoned works normally & you learn this.
Cloak BearerThe 1st time the Phantom would die by execution with 5 or more players alive, they survive. That night, the Phantom kills you instead of their usual kill. This death can't be prevented.
Loric (2)
Monkey Music BoxThe holder registers as evil. Unless they are the Phantom, they can't die by execution. If executed, return the artifact to the Phantom at dusk. Artifact choice & transfers work even if drunk or poisoned.
Punjab LassoThe holder is poisoned. On the 1st night, the Phantom chooses an available artifact & another player to receive it. Artifact choice & transfers are script rules & work even if drunk or poisoned.
