Summary

""Each night, choose a good character: you have that ability until you choose again. You are drunk every other night.""

The Prodigy can switch their abilities every night, but will need to solve when they are drunk.

  • The Storyteller picks which nights the Prodigy is drunk.
  • If the Prodigy gains an ability that works at night, they wake when that character would wake. If this ability is used on the first night only, they use it tonight.
  • If the Prodigy’s ability works while dead, such as the Klutz’s, it works if the Philosopher is dead.

How to Run

When preparing the first night, decide if the Prodigy is drunk. If so, mark them with the DRUNK reminder.

Each night, wake the Prodigy. They either shake their head no or point at any Townsfolk icon or any Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Prodigy to sleep.

If the Prodigy chose an in-play ability, mark that character with the HAS ABILITY reminder. If the Prodigy chose an out-of-play ability, place this second character token by the Prodigy character token.

Each night after the first, either remove the DRUNK if the Prodigy is marked, or add it if the Prodigy is not marked.

Examples

During the first night, the Prodigy chooses to gain the Dreamer ability. They gain the Dreamer's ability from now on and act when the Dreamer normally acts in addition to their Prodigy ability.

On the second night, the Prodigy is drunk. They choose to keep the Dreamer's ability, but their information may be false.
