Secret CharactersBarker
Summary
"All players know three character names; one of them is in play for each Outsider. [+0 to +1 Outsiders]"
Use the Barker to modify the Outsider count and give everyone a clue about what characters might be in play
How to Run
While setting up the game, declare that the Barker is in play. You may remove a Townsfolk character token and add an Outsider character token. If you do, this Outsider token goes into the bag instead of the Townsfolk token.
Count the number of Outsiders in the bag. This is how many characters the Barker must correctly announce.
On the first night, announce three character names.
Put some pizzazz in the announcement to give the game some flavor.
Examples
The Storyteller announces the Beast Tamer, Lucky Cat, and Hagy Bagy. None of them are in play, because there are no Outsiders in the bag.
The Tinker and the Balloonist are in the bag. The Storyteller announces the Balloonist, Gambler, and Compere.
Explanation
While this Fabled character was specifically tailored to the Carnival of Lies, it could be useful on any script instead of the Sentinel. The Barker should not be used in scripts where the Outsider count could climb above three with any given set of characters, like Trouble Brewing.
