Tasks: None.

Alchemist

Nationality: Empire

Attributes: Weak

 

Inherent: You are a merchant and receive infinite trades with items in your shop. Items that that enter your shop via trades are automatically converted to coins. You begin with two random potions of value 10 in your shop. You know the identify of Shanker at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of each day, you receive herbs from any explored land you are harvesting. If you explore land, you will automatically begin harvesting herbs there.

 

Abilities: Brew potions. May convert any herbs you have into potions. Number of herbs required is the nominal value of the potion divided by 10, except for the resurrection balm which requires 8 herbs to produce.

 

Tasks: Harvest Land. Target an explored location. You will receive a given number of herbs for that day and any subsequent days. A list of herbs received for a given location on a given day is given to you at the start of the game.

 

Victory: Each day, meet a threshold for the number of coins to have gained from sales. For days 1 through 5 they are: 10, 30, 60, 100, and 150. Failure to meet the requirement on a given day results in losing 10 coins from your total, which may go negative. Since artifacts may not enter your shop, their value does not count toward your victory condition. If Shanker wins, you receive a bonus of 25 coins at the end of the game toward your victory condition.

 

Anama Hunter

Nationality: Avernum

Attributes: Archer, Warrior

 

Inherent: While attacking someone in the Anama, your current skill level (after items, statuses, etc.) is increased by 50%, rounded down. If you kill an Anama member, you will receive a bonus of 20 coins.

 

Ability: May target one person per day. Reveals if that person is in the Anama.

 

Tasks: None

 

Victory Condition: Total elimination of the Anama sect. The Anama Priest and all followers must be dead by any means necessary. If you join the Anama, your victory condition will be unaffected, and you will not count as an Anama member towards anyone else's.

 

Anama Priest

Nationality: Avernum

Inherent: If you are attacked, your skill is +2. If you hold the Holy Symbol, all Anama have skill +1. Gain +10 coins for each area an Anama member explores; you may gain this retroactively.

Tasks: Recruit Anama. May recruit members into the Anama.

 

Victory Condition: Total offensive skill of Anama is greater than the total defensive skill of all Mages. Bonuses from weapons and artifacts only count once to the total. Inherent bonuses (such as Micklebur's +3 when attacking a mage or Gladwell's bonuses from having servants) count, but boosts from status effects do not.

You begin with two random objects of value 10 in your shop. At the start of each day, you receive 1 essence for each artifact you hold. Any trade where you receive an artifact does not count as a task if it otherwise would have.

 

Abilities: Make Objects. You may convert essence into any number of objects. The essence required is the value of the object divided by 10, except for the Wand of Death, which requires 10 essence to produce.

 

Tasks: Drain artifact. When holding an artifact, may take some of its energy causing it to lose much of its power (see below for modified artifact abilities) for the duration of the game. Each artifact drained grants you 4 essence upon draining.

 

Victory: Each day, meet a threshold for the number of coins to have gained from sales. For days 1 through 5 they are: 10, 30, 60, 100, and 150. Failure to meet the requirement on a given day results in losing 10 coins from your total, which may go negative. Since artifacts may not enter your shop, their value does not count toward your victory condition. For each other mage that wins, you get a 10 coin bonus towards your victory condition at the end of the game.

 

Artifacts have the following abilities after being drained:

 

Crystal Spire: No bonuses.

Flaming Sword: Skill +1 when attacking.

Each round has changed a bit. The game isn't really much like its original version anymore.

 

—Alorael, who is going to take a while to figure out how roles balance. The Addict is very, very weak unless everyone counts as an enemy. It takes two skribbane uses just to have a positive attack value. On the other hand, with a sufficiently large attack value the Addict is too easy, because killing someone isn't actually all that unlikely if you blindly charge.

I actually think the Addict may be overpowered. He has a base skill of 2. Using Skribbane gives the berserk status which is skill +5, weak attribute not used, and everyone is an enemy. Also, he gets a skill +2. So, when he attacks on Skribbane, he has a skill of 2 + 5 + 2 = 9, which is pretty darned high. He can pretty much kill anyone at that point.

 

To balance him, I may make him enemies with everyone and make some specific kill requirements.
