Summary:

“If the Demon chooses their good neighbors (except you) with their ability, they immediately lose it until dawn, even if you died tonight.”

The Haberdasher protects the Demon’s neighbours.

• If the Demon uses their ability and chooses one of their neighbours (except the Haberdasher), the Demon loses their ability immediately. Their ability no longer works until the next day.
• This happens even if the Haberdasher died in that same night. That is, if a Demon can kill multiple players at night, the Haberdasher will still protect the Demon’s good neighbours, even if they died first.
• The Demon’s good neighbours are the two good players closest to them — one clockwise and one anticlockwise. Skip any evil players.
• If the Haberdasher is chosen, nothing happens, even if they neighbour the Demon. The Demon still keeps their ability.
• If the Haberdasher neighbours the Demon, the next player after them is not protected.

How to Run:

While preparing the first night, mark the Demon’s good neighbours with SEWN reminders, except the Haberdasher themself.

At any time, even if the Haberdasher died that night, if the Demon chooses to use their ability on a SEWN player, the Demon immediately loses their ability — mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder. Finish resolving their ability and put them to sleep.

At dawn, the Demon regains their ability — remove the Haberdasher’s NO ABILITY reminder.

Examples:

<aside> 📖 At the start of the game, the Ojo neighbours the Washerwoman and the Chambermaid. At night, the Ojo attacks the Washerwoman. Because of the Haberdasher’s ability, the Ojo loses their ability for the night immediately, and the Washerwoman stays alive.

<aside> 📖 Clockwise from the Kukalpa sits the Virgin and then the Fisherman. Anticlockwise from the Kukalpa sits the evil Ogre and then the Heretic. The Virgin and the Heretic are protected by the Haberdasher.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The Exorcist, Pestilence, Haberdasher, and Saint are sat in that order. Only the Exorcist is protected, because the Haberdasher cannot protect themself.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The Po’s good neighbours are a Village Idiot, and the Damsel. At night, the Po attacks three times, choosing the Librarian, Haberdasher, and Village Idiot in that order. Only the Librarian, Haberdasher die, because the Haberdasher still protected the Village Idiot even after dying that night.
