Overview

The Executioner is a neutral role with no active abilities. The Executioner wins if his target is lynched during the day. If his target is killed at night, the Executioner may become a Jester depending on the settings.

Strategies

• The best time for an Executioner to push up his target to trial or lynch relies on two factors.
  • The earlier the accusation, the more the town is skeptical about you figuring out your target so soon; for example accusing your target after Night 1. Statistically, its a little bit unlikely that one person will find an evil role night one.
  • On the other hand, the later the Executioner waits, the more likely it is that your target will be confirmed as a Town member.

• A popular Executioner strategy is for the Executioner to pretend to be an investigative role and claim to have evidence that makes his target an evil player. However, most players expect Executioners to do this, so a little creativity is advised. Fake last wills that you can copy-paste for the Town to see will help boost your credibility. Alternatively if you see that the Town is lynch happy, sometimes little effort can be required to lynch your target.

• Claiming unconventional roles will make you more believable. If you notice that there is a night that a confirmed evil role does not kill on (e.g. a Dragon Head), you can claim to be an Escort and say that you roleblocked your target last night, which means he must be evil and that the Town should lynch him.

• The Executioner can attempt to double bluff the Town. Asking Town Killing roles to kill your target at night will help convince people you aren't an Executioner, since an Executioner wants to lynch his target. If your target does not die at night, people are more likely to lynch him the next day, since you pretended not to care if he died at night.
  • Alternatively, if your target does die at night, the Town is more likely to lynch you. At this point you will be a Jester, and being lynched will be your new goal.

• Above all, creativity is key. An Executioner has only his wits as a means to victory. The best Executioners are highly adaptable in being able to use known information and roles for their specific game while spreading lies and deceit in order to convince the Town to lynch their targets.

Options

• Becomes Jester upon failure - (Default: On)
• Target is always town - (Default: On)
• Must survive to the end - (Default: Off)
• Invulnerable at Night - (Default: Off)

Notes

• The Executioner is not rewarded any points until the game is over.
  • If the option "Must survive to the end" is enabled, the Executioner will receive even more points for winning.

• The Executioner has no active night ability.

• If the Executioner's target dies and the "Becomes Jester upon failure" is not enabled, the Executioner will suicide.

• If the Executioner's target appears to die, but he doesn't turn into a Jester or commit suicide, then the target was a Disguiser or Informant. The Executioner now has no idea who his target might be.

• Assuming he had his target lynched and he does not have to survive to the end of the game, the Executioner is free to act as he desires for the remainder of the game.

• An Executioner's target will never be a Crier, Mayor or Marshall.
