Role Name: Astrologer
Alignment: Town
Game Size(s): FM
Abilities: Every night he can read the movement of the planets to discover how the game is changing. He will be told which alignment currently has the advantage (in the host's opinion) and how many members of each faction there are. He is told:
Number of Town:
Number of Red Mafia:
Number of Orange Mafia:
Number of Evil Neutrals:
Number of Benign Neutrals:
Number of Cult:
The [FACTION] currently have the advantage.
This information is given based on the state of the game after that night's actions have taken place.
Additional Info: The Astrologer is an adaption of the Seer role from FM 6. From the information he receives each night he should be able to figure out whether an actress has died and of which faction she was, the alignment of cleaned roles and the number of people that have been culted. If a neutral role claims that they are benign when they are actually evil he should be able to spot this and get him lynched. He can also work out the alignment of random anys.
The host knows everyone's roles so telling the astrologer who he thinks is winning should give the astrologer an idea of the relative strength of each faction. For instance if the host thinks the cult is going to win then they probably have some powerful roles or a mafia team under their control or he might think that an evil neutral is going to win because the arsonist has most of the living roles doused.
The Astrologer is best in setups with cult to make full use of it. He isn't that powerful but can still be useful. It might be a good idea for him to reveal early so that he can tell everyone what the roles are but that will help the mafia as well. He is also a target for the cult so that he can give false information on the number and strength of the cult.
One Sentence Summary: An information role that can find out the relative strength of each faction.
