THE ART OF PLAYING YOUR PART

How to play Grave Scribe

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.

01

NIGHT ABILITY

Read Death Cause

No charge limit

Read a revealed corpse’s cause of death, without killer classes or corpse authentication.

02

NIGHT ABILITY

Desecrate

2 charges

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.

03

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

    Existing reports remain intact, so timing matters.

  2. 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.
