THE ART OF PLAYING YOUR PART

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 Archivist. Powers begin on the following night; equivalent charges already spent stay spent.
NIGHT ABILITY
Read Death Cause
Read a revealed corpse’s cause of death, without killer classes or corpse authentication.
NIGHT ABILITY
Desecrate
Obscure a revealed corpse’s killer-class evidence from this night onward. Audits explicitly report tampering and still authenticate the corpse. Earlier reports remain intact. Two uses.
NIGHT ABILITY
Attack
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
- 01
Existing reports remain intact, so timing matters.
- 02
Tampering is disclosed and an Archivist can still authenticate a forged Shade husk.
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.
