lunatic (although unreliable, counts)

goon

evil cult leader is a concern
mez turned is a concern

#583

you can totally revive evil cult leaders or mez/bh turned townsfolk
it doesn’t check alignment

#584

i think prof/pixie kinda fill the same role category and
they aren’t really that diffferent in confirmables if played right
granted prof can be really hard confirmed compared to pixie’s kinda but
pixie is hard to fake if pixie would be played right

#585

a concern with prof
not the outsider/minion/demon thing

#586

Professor either way is also just way better for numbers :froggwee:

prof seems more fun then pixie anyway
since
you know you can actually do things
other then pixie’s “you may get to play the game if you do these things and this person gets shanked before f3”

#588

i think the discrepancy (and its a very big discrepancy!)
you can have two evils claiming a role and pixie who saw it
you cannot have two evils claiming a role and prof who resurrected them except in extenuating circumstances

#589

Ig apparently they’re adding more resurrection roles into the future (and I mean besides Prophet) so that might help make Professor more palatable

that glues the two players together, which is a really big risk
its still 100% less confirmable then prof but
i don’t think by a margin more then 20%, beside prof getting a save

#591

funny game as the drunk exorcist
picked the fang gu then the assassin then the new fang gu

#592

im socialised out

#593

Alright

Does that mean I can now describe Prophet the greatest role to ever exist

Isn’t Balloonist one of the most commonly used roles for custom scripts?

#595

On the other hand, you could be Pixie Courtier and pursue an extremely useful ability.

#596

two shots at drunking the demon is awful for evils
you’re obviously right but
in most games it won’t happen

#597

I think the point I’m trying to make here is that the power of Pixie, like many other roles, can vary depending on the Storyteller, but in most cases you won’t have either extreme, of being useless or all-powerful. If the Storyteller made you a Pixie Librarian, there’s probably a reason.

#598

Granted, sometimes it isn’t a good reason, as seen in the U-Pick, but…

#599

At least you confirm an in-play role, which is pretty good on its own. Almost top 4, except you can also take on a potentially powerful role as a backup.

#600

…Pixie Librarian kinda sucks though.
