Faith Plus One

Name: Faith Plus One Setup Size: Mini Players: 12 Setup Type: Mini Open Mini Designer: DarthYoshi

Faith Plus One is a 13-player Open setup created by DarthYoshi as a response to the April 2011 conversations in the Mafia Discussion forum regarding the Basic 12-Player open setup being broken via the Follow the Cop tactic. It is an attempt to keep both an alignment cop and a protective role in the same game without falling back on the more clichéd solutions of mafia roleblockers and macho cops.

Setup

• 3 Mafia Goons
• 7 Vanilla Townies
• 2 Faith Healers
• 1 Sane Cop

Mechanics

• Daystart
• Faith Healers have a 50% of their protection failing (determined randomly).
• If both Faith Healers target the same player, the protections will both automatically fail.
