Priest

Priest Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Voting Passive Negative Utility Choice: none

A Priest is a role whose player cannot cast a hammer vote. An attempt to cast a hammering vote may be met either with a vote count where the Priest's vote does nothing (confirming the player as a Priest), or a modkill.

Priests are essentially never seen in practice, but are traditionally Town-aligned.

Variations

This role is the inverse of the Actor.

Use and Power

Unless the Priest is capable of casting an uncounted hammer vote, there's no way to prove a given player is a Priest. Even if they could cast an uncounted hammer vote, that likely wouldn't change perceptions - there's no real reason a Priest necessarily has to be Town.

Priest is at best no different from Vanilla and at worst a distraction to the Town.
