Town Of Salem Role Ideas

The possessed's soul will die but nobody except them and the Ghost will know. The next day, the Town will find out that a Ghost is possessing someone, but won't know who.

Attack (Before Possessing.): None.

Defense (Before Possessing.): None.

Attack (Possessing.): Whatever the person's Attack is.

Goal: Survive In A Possessed Body To See Everyone Else Lose.

Example:

Let's say that Billy was just a normal Townie, doing what normal Townies do. Bob (The Ghost) decides to possess Billy one night. Bob's body will die and appear to die of "Their Soul Left Their Body". And say: "They were a Ghost." Billy's control over their own person will be gone, and they'll be considered dead, but their death will not be acknowledged when this possession happens. Billy won't be able to talk to the Medium, either. All Billy can do is just watch as the Ghost possesses their body.

There are two ways for a Ghost's possession to be stopped. Either Billy gets lynched, Bob is forced to leave their body and die off for good, and Billy will recover after being lynched the very next day. Appearing: "Billy has recovered after the Ghost left their body."

Or, a Vampire Hunter can stake Billy. This may sound a little odd, but, the Vampire Hunter role appears as a Priest turned to hunting Vampires. So, surely, the Vampire Hunter should be able to kill off the Ghost's possession. Saying: "Billy has been freed by a Vampire Hunter!".

Other Information (Important!):

- The Ghost is able to use whoever they possess's night ability.

- The Mayor cannot be possessed. The Ghost will see that they were "Role Blocked" if they attempt to target the Mayor.

- If the Ghost tries to possess a Vampire Hunter, the Vampire Hunter will use their night to kill off the Ghost.

- None of the Mafia, Coven, or Vampires can be possessed. This could cause gamethrowing confusion.
