THE ART OF PLAYING YOUR PART

How to play Blight Herbalist

Bitter Remedy shields one attack and leaves next-night sedation instead of curing poison.

YOUR OPENING MOVE

Read your new Cult roster and current ability charges. Powers awaken on the following night; equivalent charges already spent remain spent.

FROM THE LIVE GAME RULES

Your abilities

This class enters play through conversion. It is not assigned as a starting role. Its original profession is Physician. Powers begin on the following night; equivalent charges already spent stay spent.

01

NIGHT ABILITY

Bitter Remedy

2 charges

Shield another player from one basic attack without curing poison. Sedation prevents their next night action unless an arriving Treat or their Health Potion cures it. Early control and private conversations require a Health Potion before commitment. Two uses.

  • Cannot target the same player on consecutive nights.
02

NIGHT ABILITY

Attack

No charge limit

Make one basic attack; protection and detention can stop it.

Condition: Available only while you hold the Cult’s single attack. Succession is Assassin, then Mastermind, then the lowest-seat living converted Cult member or legacy Acolyte.

Charge counts and ability text come from the game itself. “No charge limit” does not remove timing, targeting, or other restrictions.

A LITTLE WISDOM GOES A LONG WAY

At the table

  1. 01

    Avoid sheltering a player the Cult plans to attack tonight.

  2. 02

    The recipient receives a warning; their Health Potion can restore every power. Arriving Treat restores ordinary actions, but immediate conversations and early control powers need a Health Potion committed first.

Mind the trap.

  • This is a conversion-only class. Neutrals and both Ruler allegiances cannot become it.
  • The Cult keeps one shared night attack. Its holder chooses a specialist action or the attack; conversion does not grant an extra independent kill.
