Description

Each night the angel of death wakes up. He picks a player. That player is the only one that can get eliminated in that night. The angel of death doesn’t know who the werewolves are and vice versa. He doesn’t count for werewolf parity.

If the Angel of death dies, they must keep on picking a person each night and must stay with their eyes closed during the night. However, they cannot participate in the day and vote. When this happens, they are dead for all intents and purposes.

Variations

The angel of death could pick more than one player, which makes it easier for the werewolves to eliminate someone. The Angel of death could also know who the werewolves are, making the task significantly easier.

A more different variant could be that the Angel of death is on team good, effectively making them a powerful role.

Use and balance

This role will usually negatively affect team evil but might also negatively affect team good in some ways if they have roles that can kill during the night. In order to make the Angel of death affect team evil less, the moderator should probably include team good roles that can kill in the night.

Script

Moderator: (Each night) Angel of death open your eyes. Who do you want to make vulnerable to eliminations?

(Angel of death awakes and they silently point at a player to be vulnerable that night. The moderator confirms this.)

Moderator: Angel of death close your eyes.

Playing advice

The Angel of death should attempt to pick players that the werewolves will pick. This mainly depends on the players’ tendencies, but here are some general criteria for the Angel of death to pick:

The player most likely to be a powerful team good role.
The most veteran player.
A confirmed team good player.
The most annoying player.

The Angel of Death should also try to figure out who the werewolves are, so they can better anticipate the target of the werewolves.
