Aimee
Nationality: Avernum
Attributes: Mage
Inherent: Base skill +5. You are part spirit and part living. As such, you may not attack and anyone who attacks you only wins if they have offensive skill that falls within a range of your defensive skill. Otherwise, they lose. Should someone succeed in killing you in a direct attack (no item or status usage), they will win so long as they survive. The range of skills to kill starts out as requiring the match to be exact (the range is zero, so the skills must match +/- zero), but is equal to the number of days that have elapsed minus the number of healing potions you have consumed (e.g. if it is day 3 and you have consumed one potion, the persons skill must match within 1). If examined, that person will learn your role.
Abilities: Inflict confused status upon any target.
Tasks: Extend Power. You can give, by mutual agreement, some of your power. The recipient gains an 'Augmented' attribute. The person gets skill +2 so long as Aimee is alive and may not attack Aimee. Aimee's base skill is -1 each time she extends her power. Her minimum base skill may not go below 1. Each time you extend your power, it effectively counts as drinking a healing potion.
Victory: Survive at the end of the game.
