Summary:

“If the Demon kills you, each night after, learn who & what they attacked. Once per game, choose that they don’t die.”

The Guardian protects from beyond the grave.

• When dead, the Guardian wakes each night to learn the players that the Demon attacked due to their ability & their characters.
• Once per game, the Guardian can choose that the players that the Demon attacked, don’t die.
• The Demon’s victims don’t die until after the Guardian acts (and doesn’t save them).
• The Guardian learns the players in order of death.
• Only the players that the Demon attacked due to their Demon ability count.
• The Guardian only gains this power if they were killed by the Demon. Dying by execution or to a non-Demon ability does not count.
• The Guardian does not act on the same night that they gain their ability.
• The Guardian acts after the Demon’s step in the night, never during.

How to Run:

If the Guardian is killed by the Demon, mark them with the HAS ABILITY reminder. Do not do this if the Guardian is killed by the Demon but does not have their ability at that time (due to being drunk or poisoned etc.) or if they are killed by a non-Demon ability.

If the Guardian has their ability, the Demon wakes as normal, but mark the attacked players with the 1, 2, and 3 reminders instead of the normal DEAD reminders. Then wake the Guardian, point to each marked player and show their character tokens in order. Afterwards, the Guardian either nods their head yes or shakes their head no. Put them to sleep.

If they shook their head no, then the chosen players die as normal – mark them with the Demon’s DEAD reminders.

If they nodded their head yes, then the marked players do not die. Remove all 1, 2, 3, and 4 reminders, and mark the Guardian with the ONCE reminder – from now on, put the Guardian to sleep after showing the attacked players.

Examples:

<aside> 📖 The Shabaloth kills the Guardian. Tomorrow night, the Shabaloth attacks the Chef, and the Chambermaid. That night, the Guardian learns who the Chef and the Chambermaid are, but shakes their head no. The Chef and the Chambermaid die. The night after, the Shabaloth attacks the Fortune Teller, and the Sweetheart. The Guardian then learns who the Fortune Teller and the Sweetheart are and nods their head yes. The Fortune Teller and the Sweetheart do not die. The night after that, the Shabaloth attacks the Plague Doctor, and the Klutz. The Guardian learns who they are, but cannot protect them, because they have already done so.

<aside> 📖 The Imp kills the poisoned Guardian, who doesn’t gain their powers. Tomorrow night, the Imp attacks & kills the Balloonist as normal. The Guardian learns nothing.
