The Novice Tarot Reader

Each night, the Novice Tarot Reader can target two players and "read" their cards. They will get five cards back. Four of them are drawn from the two players selected with the remaining card taken from any other random player in the game. Each card reflects either a player's alignment, Witchcraft status or killing status. The two cards drawn for a player are randomly selected from these three categories. The order you receive the cards is also randomised.

Role Text

You are a Novice Tarot Reader. You can examine Tarot cards for two players each night.
Objectives
Lynch all evil doers
Special Abilities
Each night you can select two living players to read from
Your read consists of two cards from each player and a fifth card from a random other player in the game
Each card reflects one of three facets of a player - their alignment, whether they can kill and if they use witchcraft
The two cards from each player are randomly selected from the three possible, and then all five are randomised before your read is shown

Ability Message

When you select your first target, you receive the following message:

Tonight you will read cards for <AvatarName> - pick another target

When you select your second target, you receive the following message:

Tonight you will read cards for <AvatarName> and <AvatarName2>

In the morning, you will receive the following message informing you of the results:

The five tarot cards you see are <Card1>, <Card2>, <Card3>, <Card4>, <Card5>.

Possible Card Reads

There are 3 types of cards, Alignment, Killer and Witchcraft status cards. As you'll see below, some cards can overlap, e.g the Magician card can either stand for Alignment or Witchcraft status depending on the role. Some roles even have two Magician cards for that reason, as it is the case for the entirety of the Coven. More on the Tarot Card List page

Useful Notes

  • The Novice Tarot Reader is seen visiting two players in the same night.
  • Be aware that some cards can represent two different things (not at the same time). You will need to figure out what aspect of the player's role is being shown by the card.
