Follower

Follower Alias: none Alignment: Pro-town Role type: Informative Choice: Night

The Follower is an informative role that can target a player at Night and learn what form of action they took that Night (investigation, protection, killing, etc), but not who they targeted.

Variations

The Follower has very few variants; however, there are many related Roles:

• The Tracker learns who a player targeted, but not what action that player performed.
• The Follower learns what action a player performed, but not who that player targeted.
• The Watcher learns who targeted a player, but not what actions were performed on them.
• The Voyeur learns what actions were performed on a player, but not who targeted them.

The Reporter is a weaker variant of Tracker/Follower, who learns if a target performed any action that Night, but learns neither whom they targeted or the nature of the action.

Use and Balance

A Follower is a weaker investigative role than a Rolecop. A Follower who targets a Doctor will learn that the Doctor protected someone, but will not learn anything from targeting a passive role such as a Bulletproof, or a role that chooses to do nothing on a particular Night, which may happen with a Bodyguard.

Very rarely, a Role will have more than one action available to them, such as a Jack of All Trades. A Follower can then determine which power was used on the Night the Follower targeted them.

Play Advice

A Follower is really only useful for confirming that someone is or is not a certain type of Power Role.
