The Cult

Gaoler

Twice, immediately detain a player for an anonymous interview and prevent their non-control action. Your prisoner has no sanctuary: attacks, treatment and other visits still arrive. Each body can be detained only once per match.

YOUR WIN CONDITION

Eliminate all Innocents while a Cult member survives. Executing the Martyr makes your faction lose.

Usurper court: Eliminate all Innocents while a Cult member survives; the Usurper must also die. Executing the Martyr makes your faction lose.

Shade court: Eliminate all Innocents while a Cult member survives; the Shade must also die. Executing the Martyr makes your faction lose.

THE ART OF PLAYING YOUR PART

How to play Gaoler

Cruel Detention keeps the anonymous interview and suppression but lets incoming attacks and help reach the prisoner.

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 Warden. Powers begin on the following night; equivalent charges already spent stay spent.

01

NIGHT ABILITY

Cruel Detention

2 charges

Immediately block another player’s action and open an anonymous interview. Incoming attacks and treatment still arrive. Two uses; each body can be detained only once per match.

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

    Detention commits immediately; prepare your question first.

  2. 02

    Each body can be successfully detained only once across Wardens and Gaolers.

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.
