Terrifying

#3664

for our Brazilians

The Acrobat is now a Townsfolk. The new ability reads:

“Each night*, choose a player: if they are drunk or poisoned, you die.”

The old Acrobat was a cool idea, but was never meant to be an official character as is. It was more of a test idea that I proposed that accidentally made it onto the wiki and then beyond.
I initially thought that old Acrobat would be a weak but balanced Outsider, with the information gained about who is drunk or poisoned balanced by an extra good character dying at an inconvenient time. With the odd situation where the Acrobat dies at night with just 3 players alive excepted, it proved to be too helpful to be an Outsider but too passive to be a Townsfolk.
The new Acrobat has a significant power boost, and belongs in the Townsfolk section.
Just a thought as I write this… perhaps the Acrobat would be even better if it read “Each night*, choose a player: if they are drunk or poisoned, one of you dies.” ? Maybe.
A tip for script-builders: consider pairing the Acrobat with the Assassin on your scripts.

Okay i guess courtier does work well with it

#3676

I see no potential problems

#3677

I suppose it could work well with sailor?
inkeeper not so much. Goon i guesssss?

#3678

that sucks just bc theres like 5 different ways to not die by exe in bmr and all of those could be on ur target bc theyre good

So it definitely could work. idk who would want to swap out pacifist though. People with skill issues

#3680

idk i think acrobat would actually work well on bmr, mainly bc it tells u someone is NOT droisoned
