Summary

"You poison & gain the ability of the 1st in-play character that you are mad as being each day."

The Swiper steals abilities from other players, no matter which team they are on.

The Swiper cannot poison a player during the 1st night.

How to Run

During each day, the first time the Swiper is mad as an in-play character, mark that character as POISONED. This can only happen once per day. The Swiper now has this good character’s ability, and will wake at night when this good character would normally wake.

The Swiper cannot gain the ability of an out-of-play character or a character that cannot be poisoned.

Examples

The Swiper claims to be the Golem. The real Golem tries to prove themselves by nominating the Steward, who does not die immediately because they are poisoned by the Swiper. The nomination proceeds as normal.

The Swiper tells everyone that they are the Nymph. The Swiper does not have the Nymph's ability because that character is out of play.

The Swiper claims to be the Noble, but that character is not in play. Later that day, the Swiper claims to be the Steward, which is in play: the next night the Swiper is woken to learn a good character.

The Swiper claims to be the Prince, but the Prince is safe from the Swiper's ability. The Swiper does not gain the Prince ability.
