A [[Motivator]], also called a [[Monolith]] on [[IRC]], is a role which can cause the target's role to temporarily/permanently 'evolve'. In designing the game setup, the [[Game Moderator]] determines what each role will become when it is targeted by the monolith - for example, a [[Tracker]] may become a [[Cop]].
A '''Motivator''' is a role that can target a player at Night to allow them to use an extra action during the following Night. Note that factional abilities such as the Mafia's Night-kill cannot be used twice in one Night.


The name 'Motivator' also refers to a role which can target another player and give them the ability to use their [[role]]'s actions twice in the same [[Night]]. This role variant is also commonly known as an [[Enhancer]]. Some variants of the [[Enhancer]] delay the buff to the target's ability until the following night; some take effect on the same night.
Generally speaking, Motivators are Town-aligned, but not seen outside [[role madness]] games.
 
==Variations==
Some moderators will have Motivator allow a player to use an extra action during the Night they are targeted. This is not so easy to resolve in a streamlined manner, though - the moderator has to wait for the Night action submission deadline, and then allow the Motivated player to send in another action.
 
==Use and Power==
Motivator is a swingy way to increase its faction's overall power, as there is no guarantee that it will target Town.  As long as it cannot cause a role or combination to become unreasonably powerful, it's usually considered fine overall.

Choice:
  • Night

A Motivator is a role that can target a player at Night to allow them to use an extra action during the following Night. Note that factional abilities such as the Mafia's Night-kill cannot be used twice in one Night.

Generally speaking, Motivators are Town-aligned, but not seen outside role madness games.

Variations

Some moderators will have Motivator allow a player to use an extra action during the Night they are targeted. This is not so easy to resolve in a streamlined manner, though - the moderator has to wait for the Night action submission deadline, and then allow the Motivated player to send in another action.

Use and Power

Motivator is a swingy way to increase its faction's overall power, as there is no guarantee that it will target Town. As long as it cannot cause a role or combination to become unreasonably powerful, it's usually considered fine overall.
