Vengeful (role)
|
Vengeful Townie is a role that, when lynched, is awarded the ability to kill any other player as they die.
Vengeful can also be a role modifier; for instance, a Vengeful Mafia Goon is a member of the Mafia who gets to perform a kill when lynched.
Vengeful roles are much more commonly Town than Mafia, as Vengeful Mafia roles essentially punish the Town for lynching them.
Variation
A Super Saint is a Vengeful Townie who only kills the person who placed the hammer vote (they do not get to choose). The Super Saint is notably featured in the mafia variant SS3.
Some moderators interchange Vengeful and Bomb for this role.
In Vengeful Mafia games, the Vengeful Townie may only kill if the game is in a LyLo state. However, this is not done in any other setup.
Some versions of Vengeful are allowed to kill a player upon death regardless of whether they are lynched or killed by another means.
Use and Power
A Vengeful Townie is in effect a bonus kill for its faction, pending the player's lynch.
Play Advice
Claiming Vengeful Townie is not advised (unless your actual role is Vengeful and Mafia-aligned). The effect of giving its faction a bonus kill is useless unless you yourself are worth lynching - otherwise it's obviously more profitable to lynch the player you would Vengefully kill while leaving you alive. Thus, Vengeful claims under duress are seen as grounds for a policy lynch.
