If your willing to answer, how balanced is the coven in this. My first impression from seeing conjurer + coven Leader is that coven can kill every phase. That seems to make lynching VERY costly if chosen wrong no?

@@msepiphqny I was part of the third wave and I played some different modes (town traitor, all any, some set role lists). I will say Coven tends to win all any most of the time when they have a full team, which is 5 now.

Fun fact for anyone who sees this, both the Town Power role alignment and the Shroud are famous suggestions from the ToS forums. Obviously I don't know BMG's process for adding them but TPow was used for ages as a way to section Jailor and Mayor off from TK/TS slots and the Shroud bears an uncanny resemblance to murat1996's "Shadowalker" role idea from 2015.

[@daquickhayden]

Tons of this stuff as a huge ranked player of the first Town of Salem looks incredibly good. Tons of metas are forced to be removed/rethought, tons of decision making will be even more incorporated as any wrong moves and you can make yourself looks suspicious even more, and tons of new roles being added so evils can claim more fake roles. Though some things scare me of TOS 2. First off tons of roles have been majorly reworked and in general worse. Mayor is a great example. In TOS 1 once a mayor reveals they will gain 3 votes instead of 1 and can only be saved by BG or jailor. But in TOS 2 Mayor is a huge risk to get as not even BG can save them now and relies on jailor, but if jailor exes someone then mayor is basically a sitting duck. Plus if Mayor reveals then an evil / neutral role can just instantly guess them and kill them, making it even more of a risk. There are tons more changes but don’t wanna put in all in this. 2nd is the removal of Mafia. Mafia was the staple of TOS 1 and completely removing them leaves a huge dissatisfaction of wanting to switch over to the newer game. I think a good thing to add is what TOS 1 had and had a Coven / Mafia button so people can play which ever one they wanted and maybe just reskin all the coven roles with mafia forms so it can feel like you are playing the true OG TOS again. 3rd is the new texture stuff. Looking from TOS 1 game look and the Traitors game look really didn’t want me to switch to traitors. The TOS 1 old feeling with no 3Dness at all is what I truly loved it for. With upgrading the graphics, to me it looks like I am looking at polished rubber. And 4th is the running of the game. Tons of TOS 1 games just felt abandoned and over ran with purposely throwing, spamming, and even cheating without any punishments happening to them. What would be a good system is hire supporter members inside of TOS (made up by people who knows what they are doing Game and work wise) and has the option to go to a site hosted by the creators of TOS and can do a supporter votes to determine if it’s true throwing, spamming or cheating. I feel like all of these changes would make the new game the best as possible, but they are my opinions and other people can vary opposing mine. Feel free to express opinions if any of you agree/disagree and hope the devs see our thoughts

Edit: Had to sleep to remember that this role basically screws any investigative roles since the illusionist can just stick to the dedicated coven killing member of the team to shield them from suspicion forever. Pretty strong given how impotent the TI roles are now.

[@erikm8373]

Killing during the day is a very exciting new mechanic. I can already imagine getting into a final 1v1, the other guy says "gg ez win" and you can say "lol nope" and shoot him dead on the spot. But I do wonder, is a Conjurer vs Deputy 1v1 a tie, or does it become a quickdraw duel for who can hit their day kill button first? That would be fun, but I imagine it's more likely that you select a target during discussion, and there's a day action phase that triggers before voting begins.

[@blackmailed1072]

​@@thepotatotaxi2430 Trapper is a common evil claim, and so is Vigilante. Most evils claim either role because they don't require a N1 will, so they're common panic claims when you don't have a solid alibi for N1. No anonymous Jailor will give out their identity to an unconfirmed TP because they could've revealed themselves to Mafia/Coven/NK and would be killed the next night. And it doesn't matter if the person who claimed TP/TK gets lynched since the town just lost a valuable asset, and evils have most likely won overall with the death of the Jailor. Anonymity for Jailor is becoming more common as it allows Jailor to survive longer without reliance on the notoriously unreliable TPs. Also, don't fake claim Jailor if you don't anticipate getting exed by the real Jailor.

[@BlazingImp77151]

TOWN - The coroner sounds interesting. - Investigator has been heavily nerfed, now you only know is someone attacked someone? - LO is a neat change, nerfed quite a bit (no confirming other LOs, and cant see astral things). - Psychic seems to overall be the same, don't understand why you would put someone in your visions. maybe you put a confirmed evil in the good vision to confirm a good person and a confirmed good person in the evil vision to lower the options? So just a buff I guess. I mean heavily nerfed with the enchanter/illusionist being able to affect it, but in a game without either of those, its an overall buff. - Seer seems to have the same idea as the Psychic good vision would. - Sheriff is unchanged. - Spy is buffed because they can see affects on a player, but otherwise unchanged. - Tracker is the same (unless the astra visits not being seen is new). - So the Deputy and Vigi seem to be the same role acting at different times. - The trickster sounds like a beguiler from the better TOS mod, but only against attacking roles. sounds fairly useful though - Vet is unchanged. - Sounds like the jailor has been nerfed a bit (no n1 jails, no jailing multiple times in a row, etc.). - The mayor seems unchanged, and is still doctor (or cleric?) proof, but the wording makes it sound like the BG might not be able to defend them. - The monarch is neat, I can see a few ways to use it to your advantage. And it's easy to confirm. - Prosecutor sounds like the deputy, but you put them on trial (so I guess it bypasses defence), and you can only use it once? - Bodyguard seems mostly unchanged. now you can vest twice, wich is cool. - The doctor is now the cleric for some reason? - Crusader is unchanged. - Trapper sounds to be unchanged. - The admirer sounds a bit powerful because if someone refuses, you know they are either a town(power) or an evil role (or just a jerk). Though I guess people can explain not accepting it as them not being weak to dying if the admirer dies. - Amne being town and limited to town is a nerf. its completely unchanged except for that. - Retri not being unique is interesting, though I bet it will be turned back. - Tavern Keeper sounds like a nerfed escort (no role blocking twice in a row?), though I wonder what a hangover does. Dream Weaver sounds interesting, but no idea what insane does. COVEN - Enchanter sounds like a framer+forger. - Illusionist is a disguiser, though if it can only be used on a coven member, I don't understand that Necronomicon part. - Dusa is the same aside from all coven knowing what the role was. - Conjurer seems boring, but I can see how it might be useful. - Jinx is just the ambusher. - Ritualist sounds fun, but it's just that one guesser role that appears in other games (like that one among us mod). - CL is now killing with the old abilities being transferred to the witch? which honestly just sounds like an overall nerf (aside from the empowering self?). - Poisoner is now a one use for kill, but can role block? So consort + 1 use poisoner? - PM is nerfed to have no attack, but now the whole coven knows the reveal, which I guess might be an overall positive. - Voodoo Master is a BMer minus the whisper reading, and also nerfed to not be able to affect players multiple times in a row. (Why is everyone getting the debuff the pirate had in TOS1?) - The wildling sounds like it could be OP, or useless. depends on if it tells you who is visiting or not. NEUTRAL - The baker seems to be a variant old plaguebearer (no spreading, and you only need 3 living players). Apparently the three you choose will not immediately die upon flipping to Famine, so I guess that's neat. - Berserker / War sounds to be a jugg. Literally just a renamed jugg it looks like. - PB is unchanged, but Pest lost the rampage. - the soul collector is a bit fast for my liking, winning after only 6 days. (less if it visits people who die), though I guess its nice that players have one last chance to deal with death before they lose. - Doomsayer sounds to be a ritualist, but they have a harder time. guessing 3 times the players, but they win if they guess all three. - Executioner has the jest ability for its targets for some reason? but otherwise seems unchanged. - The jester is unchanged. - The pirate is mostly the same, but dies if it doesn't win before there is only 1 other person left, which honestly is just kinda funny. Though its less funny if you cant pirate people multiple times. - The arsonist looks to also be completely unchanged. - SK looks mostly the same, but with a scary rampage after it kills two people in a row. - Shroud is cool, basically turns anyone it visits into a killing role. - And finally, the werewolf is unchanged. overall an interesting set of roles, but probably could use some adjustments and clarifications.

[@calsalitra4689]

Admirer seems to be a double-edged sword. Yes, it allows both you and a Townie to be confirmed, but that also means that a Ritualist or Doomsayer are now able to guarantee your death. Doomsayer in particular gets way stronger when that happens, since they only need to know 1 other role to get their bomb.

[@Kruggov]

It seems like Admirer can make another player win with you, much like how WW lover can win together with town if they had a town lover. Tavern Keeper is just weakened Escort - hangover is just "cannot target them next day" i think. From what I get, Dreamweaver's Insanity means target can no longer choose who they target at night (it's random instead), and they also randomly vote during the day. Sounds OP to be honest. Illusionist's Necro action is just basic attack, which they can choose to do instead of their normal action. Medusa is no longer vet, it's now janitor. Necro medusa is nerfed (only basic attack) Conjurer is "nuke the player during the day". Basically Coven Deputy. Ritualist is a VFR counter. CL is Mafioso. Necro CL is Godfather who can trade defense for powerful attack and RB immunity. Wildling seems annoying AF. Baker/Famine needs to ensure it taps non-confirmed players to ensure they don't get instantly voted up. Berserker/War is just Jugg, except Invincible on last level. Pest is nerfed. Soulkeeper/Death seems like a bomb of a role. NEs now leave the game upon victory. No more "I Win, Now I'm Gonna Make Town Suffer More". Doomsayer is a huge VFR counter, Exe is a bit more flexible, Jester is SUS, and Pirate is... buffed? Can no longer be stopped by TPs.

[@unfunnyguy1530]

some additional notes: - veteran and werewolf are also not unique, that's totally not gonna be chaotic at all - insanity mechanic was explained in the video (and in the comment above me), votes and ability targets will be random - potion master seems buffed overall, the potions no longer have a 3 day cooldown (previously you needed the necronomicon to remove it) or a 3 use limit for each potion, so now you can just go crazy with heals and reveals while coven leader does all the killing - executioner got superbuffed, can now choose a target each night (was previously assigned a random target at the start of the game) and must lynch that target the following day. if you failed, you can choose a target again the next night (including the same player), if you succeeded, like you said, you will perform a jester haunt and "leave the town in victory" - "leaving" means you cannot vote on lynches, be targeted at night by other players, or type in the living (?) chat. you are just gone from the game after winning, you can probably still spectate, but you will no longer be counted as a living player. this change, like other changes they made (removing survivors for example) is implemented to prevent kingmaker scenarios

I feel like some of the town roles got indirectly nerfed. Invest sounds like a bad sheriff now, mayor can't really be protected anymore, jailor nerfs feel like a bit too far, mostly not being able to jail the same person twice. It feels like in an ALL ANY game mode town will lose nearly 100% of the time. Though some town buffs like Admirer sounds like an amazing role for confirming good players. Amnesiac got worse by a lot, only can become town now. Retri not being unique seems bad, 2 retris allows them to fuck each other over.

[@Nsta1]

There's no indication that the retri uses up the bodies anymore, though.

@@franciscomelon4159 Except now your a role that can't do anything until you autoconfirm yourself when you remember, which means you die before you can do anything with the new role.

[@calsalitra4689]

Admirer sounds more like a double-edged sword, possibly to the point of being bad. Ritualist and Doomsayer exist now, and the moment anyone gets confirmed a possible Ritualist or Doomsayer can kill them for free. Ritualist and Doomsayer existing at all will make life really difficult for Town, I think. Since Townies don't know who's Town they rely heavily on the ability to confirm roles, which is heavily discouraged when there are roles that can bypass TP's.

Let's start with 'Jest Is Best', because now they go after abstains too. Soul Collector sounds terrifying when playing quietly to creep up on everyone. They don't need to visit, they just need to live to at least day six. Famine would be pretty hard to win with, given you leave three people alive and those three people can quickly find and vote you out. If a mayor is one of those three incidental survivors... War sounds awesome on paper and would be a master at attacking at night, but during the day they are quite vulnerable to lynching as a Juggernaut. Dreamweaver sounds like it's made of pure fun. Doomsayers leave automatically upon winning, but like Baker/Famine requires three living targets and for them to not die and for you to know their roles implicitly. Not as easy as it sounds. Executioner with an ability to target people... the chaos waiting to happen. Pirate's now a race against time and will definitely find a nemesis in the Baker role. SK is far more dangerous now. Shroud is very much a role for framing people. Excited to see some great Prosecutor or Deputy plays.

[@yoshifan2334]

New invest is honestly what Sherrif should’ve always been, either that or have sherrif not have SO MANY evil roles that show up not sus. That being said, the fact that sherrif still exists in basically the same form (just hopefully with more reliable results it seems as it’s only noted that illusionists and the book mess with their results) is kinda disappointing imo. Spy being deception immune is a neat trade off for removing how hard it could shut down some maf/cov though. I do really like how roles like psychic now actually have a choice to make at night, and how role cards have their counterplay plainly listed, instead of those interactions having to be learned. Also seems like the devs are trying to prevent other ways of “not getting to play the game” what with chain jails and chain role blocks not being allowed anymore. Not really feeling Prosecutor tbh, when Deputy exists and it’s competing for a slot with Jailor and Monarch, a slightly better deputy seems underwhelming. Admirer seems like it could have some really funny late game plays if you wanna betray town and get on evil teams or kingmake an NK Amne being a town role instead of NB is really lame imo. Is ret actually not unique like card says or is your voiceover correct? Dreamweaver is a really nice evolution of poisoner and enchanter is a good combination of both framer/HM and forger. Haven’t gotten through whole video at time of writing but looking at a lot of the coven role changes it looks like mafia is no more and coven has inherited their functionalities EDIT: went and watched rest of video. Famine seems kinda awful, like, worse than PB. Gets transformation like 1 day faster than PB usually does, but then has to survive an endgame voting situation for multiple days in a row. Jugg being converted to War seems really nice though, makes a full power Jugg feel as strong as it should be. Death is so much better in comparison. Not sure I really agree with the mid-game win NEs just auto removing themselves from the game, especially since besides Jester, they could theoretically just keep doing their thing anyways if they’re not outed, though I do appreciate that the game mercy kills you if it’s impossible to win as pirate/baker.

[@codebreaker1o119]

They wanted less neutrals siding with others now the game has factions only.

[@UncreativePF]

I think deputy should be the one reworked since Prosecutor came first in traitors of Salem and was a staple in that game. Did I interpret admirer wrong? Because if lovers work like regular tos and don't override roles- and you are still revealed to the town, then evils will not want to accept your proposal. That's what I got from the video, but this along with other comments all have different interpretations and seem to add different mechanics... so I'm not even sure how specifically the role works. How I feel about the role depends on what the dynamic of the role actually is. Also is it just me or the ability to kill in the day (conjurer) and night (coven leader) seem like it could be really powerful? If conjurer has a limit then it would be somewhat balanced but as it seems there is a lot of pressure to lynch as town accurate and fast- which is hard when there seem to be a lot of roles prohibiting disclosing roles.

[@55ziomal55]

I agree with the fact how they had removed the "kingmakers" by removing Survivor, Mafia or Vamps and making roles like Exe or Pirate leave once they win the game but on the other hand I'll miss the chaos that the multiple factions allowed. Some new roles and reworks I like but with some others I hope they bring back the old ones: Coroner: I really like this role, it could easily be in the original ToS Investigator: No clue why did they decide to make Investigator a weaker Sheriff now, I hope he doesn't stay like this Seer: Seems weak until there's someone in the game who's "ultra confirmed", easy to mess up and get incorrect results, also borderline useless N1 Sheriff: They insist on keeping the binary investigator in the game and make the real investigator weaker... Spy: So, they remove the one thing spy was good at, determining who Coven and Mafia visits but they keep the weaker Lookout ability, from which most info is redundant and on top of that buff Lookout to not be limited to 3 people and not actually visit the target at night which protects him from Rampages... Deputy and Prosecutor: What's the point of having two distinct roles that can kill during the day? One with a gun the other with lynching? Unless there are some limits to how often they can use their abilities or I'm just understanding it wrong. Trickster: So they replace the Transporter with his true purpose of murdering innocent townies by using them as meatshields, nice Jailor: A bit conflicted about the Jailor nerf, not being able to jail twice in a row is a massive blow to how you play Jailor or how you vote, when there's no coven kills and if you want to reveal yourself as Jailor it basically forces you to vote a person you jailed but didn't execute, no more "just jail them again". Losing the ability to jail after killing townies is good though, should've been there a long time ago, both punishes jailor for a bad decisions and stops stupid jailors from making more mistakes. Mayor: Can be healed by a -Doctor- Cleric now but no longer protected by a Trapper, a neat trade off I guess, trap on mayor is generally more problematic than a doctor on mayor would be Monarch: I assume you can only knight a single player at a time, although a thought of having a Monarch give out Knight titles like candy every night and then getting lynched by a majority evil town all of which are his knights at the end of the game is very funny to me. Bodyguard: a good buff to BG imo Admirer: Does the Admirer having a lover works like in the Lovers Game Mode? Because if true he's absolutely awful. Tying yourself to another person who would most likely be another townie and confirming both of you for a low low price of a double kill the following night seems bad. If all it does is reveal both of your roles then it's ok I guess. Amnesiac: Oh yeah thanks for making a role that wasn't even that good to begin with even worse in a situation where town is being curb stomped. It's like the pre-rework Retri where all he did was wait until someone important dies so they can revive them the next night, most of the time when it didn't matter (or the target immediately left lol) or the town had already lost. If they want to remove Kingmakers from the game this badly just remove Amnesiac altogether or give him something to do before he chooses another role. -Escort- -Town- -Drunk- Tavern Keeper: I don't know how to feel about the nerf to roleblocking in general. It wasn't really fun if you were on the receiving end of being roleblocked every single night (extremely fun for the Escort though, blocking a confirmed evil) but at the same time it forces the player to actually be smart about who and when they roleblock people. Dreamweaver: How does the "random vote" actually work, does the dream weaver have a button to force a player to vote for someone or do they vote the same person Dreamweaver does? -Forger- Enchanter: I don't know how to feel about including mafia roles in the Coven. The thing was that Coven and Mafia had two different playstyles. In mafia no matter how many players you had 4 or 2 you actually had to coordinate what you're doing. With Coven? 4 players may as well be GG unless you fuck up badly. Coven members can basically do their own thing almost every night. A merged Coven and Mafia seem more of a "buffed Mafia" than "nerfed Coven". Getting 4 worse Coven roles now means you need to play like the old Mafia. But 4 good roles means you can still destroy the town with relative ease. There will be a very high variation on your performance given what roles you have. -Disguiser- Illusionist: they actually are keeping the disguiser in the game at least it gives a protection against bodyguards and traps so it's not completely useless. Conjuror: I only hope this has like 1 time limit, otherwise it seems insanely broken. Jinx: Ambusher Ritualist: I don't know how to feel about this guy, he seems insanely powerful if you're a good player (same with their neutral counterpart the Doomsayer). I don't know how the ritual is supposed to look is it a choice of 1 in 3 or is it all the possible roles in the game? Anyway it is still insanely powerful, a mayor killer, a "confirmed veteran" killer and so on. Coven Leader: I think that the Godfather killed the old Coven Leader and is now wearing his skin but he got older thus he's weaker than the original. Anyway, not much of a Coven Leader but it's an ok nerf to the Godfather. Poisoner: A good combination with a consort, kind of weird that Poisoner wasn't designed like this from the beginning. Voodoo Master: They nerf the only good thing about the Blackmailer and leave him with his now half-useless ability. Wilding: I really don't get the point why this is a Coven role? Like why do you need to know this info? You don't even know who is visiting who just who was visited. It's half-useless info and especially more useless since town usually wants to tell publicly about their night activities to confirm themselves. This being an actual town role might be more useful since they can "confirm" that townies are telling the truth. 4 horsemen: Baker and Soul Collector I like but the other two? Berserker is just Jugg but renamed and you have friends now so it's no longer a technically weaker Werewolf. PB though... they take the objectively weakest role in the game and they make it weaker... I think they're just making a joke role for now and are going to rework them later. Doomsayer: I had spoken about him before, but I'm going to say it again. If it's a "choice of x" ability then it's super easy if it's any role in the game then I guess it's the ultimate test of ToS knowledge. Serial Killer: Blue Vigi getting a buff? In my Town of Salem? the Christmas must be early. How does the "cautious" is supposed to work? Does it mean you don't kill Escort and just get RBed normally? Shroud: Does his basic attack also count as astral? It might be very strong if it does. I know that all of it is subject to change, but it's just some of my thoughts about it.

[@codebreaker1o119]

Naw mayors basically die unless BG protects. SK cautious works the same I assume. For most Prosecutor vs deputy is for lynching vs shooting. Lynch Neutral apoc shoot coven basically. be careful to not lynch jest or exe targets. Lynching is above unstoppable vs powerful.

[@Mattje2008]

Cautious for SK means you don’t kill the role blocker but still kill your original target. Also the ritualist and doomsayer have to select from all the possible roles in the game. And im pretty sure shroud’s attack is astral since they only visit the target they will shroud.

I’ll miss seeing whispers. They’re sometimes so funny ;-;

The poisoner is just the consort now so there's that.

[@anzyroadside2374]

Yeah, they repurposed some of the mafia abilities into the coven roles. It's a shame having to see the BMer, the hypnotist, the consiglieri and the forger abilities gone though.

[@donaldjgumpofficial5754]

@@anzyroadside2374 Only the Blackmailer's whisper ability and the Hypnotist are gone. Forger is I believe the Enchanter, Consigliere is just the Potion Master, and Blackmailer's Blackmail ability is the Voodoo Master. To be honest, the Hypnotist was a garbage role that only served to fake claim town roles. I'm more bummed out about the new Investigator. It's just another Sheriff now.

doing stuff during the day!? now this seems fun!

[@xakurogaming]

These roles seem really interesting. Very chaotic

[@xina9032]

How did you find out about TOS2 when so many of us didn't even know of it?! Thanks for explaining though

[@AaronC865]

It's been hinted at on the ToS subreddit for a while.

There have been multiple waves of playtesters such as my self

Neutral Benign removed, or just un-changed?

[@bytesol]

removed

Voodoo master should along the lines of you visit, collect someone’s doll and silence them. However, if you salience them again, you don’t have to visit as you already have their doll.

Some notes as I think out loud to myself while watching the video: 1. Trickster sounds pretty interesting. Sounds like a counter to the bait meta. I wonder if they can choose where the attacker is redirected to or if it's random. Could be fun in a endgame scenario if you redirect an attacker on their own teammate. 2. Did they remove the inability to whisper a revealed mayor? There goes the easy vamps check if they did. I think it would be cool if the vote gets reverted to 1 if mayor is converted to reward players who are paying attention. (After video: actually, I guess there is no vamps? So I guess that mechanic isn't even relevant anymore, at least not for that somewhat cheesy purpose.) 3. Can a monarch knight a revealed mayor to give them 4 votes? If an unrevealed mayor is knighted, does their vote go from 2 to 3 or 4? 4. Dreamweaver sounds interesting, though maybe a little OP if insanity perma-RBs day roles like jailor and mayor. Though, there also appears to be more day roles now, so maybe they need to have a counter and this is it. 5. I like the changes to CL. A little less OP than holding a killing role from another faction hostage and the choice between empowering offense or defense sounds interesting. 6. Ah, witch is a separate role now with the same old ability. Still like the new CL. 7. Not sure how I feel about changes to poisoner. I feel like if they wanted to give coven a roleblocker they should've made a new role or at least bump the poison to 2 or 3 uses (maybe if you have book?). Maybe make the RB and poison an either/or choice similar to the new CL. Though, as it is, you could potentially poison someone one night then RB the cleric the next night to ensure your poison target dies and push the cleric the following day as "fake" so maybe it's fine. 8. Are the apocalypse roles on a team together or is it every horseperson for themselves? I assume they're all solo, but what happens if more than one are in the same game and they transform at the same time? Which invincible hell horse wins? I think it would be cool if they win together if transformed, but an untransformed version loses. So, hypothetically War and Famine transform and both win, but the PB who's still missing a few plague victims loses with the rest of the mortals. 9. So exe chooses (and presumably can change) their target each night? Sounds like a good fix to the failstate of being locked to a hard confirmed player. Also makes it easier to fake claim an investigative role since you don't have a set target and can push someone new each day (if your target doesn't die the night you choose them). Also like the built in jester haunt as a reward for wining since if you can change targets now the previous role switch is no longer needed. I wonder if it would be worthwhile for tavern or poisoner to RB an exe to prevent them from changing targets since even a known exe could still win if they switch to a confirmed evil (or confirmed town in evil maj) who's likely to get lynched soon. 10. There's a few roles that say they walk away in victory. Do they instantly leave if they win or am I reading too much into flavor text and they stay for the remainder of the game (like it currently works). 11. Shroud sounds interesting, but probably harder to frame a TI as NK than I'm thinking. 12. I like some of the name changes. Especially escort and consort. Those two always seemed a bit needlessly risque and out of place, IMO. Now their RBing roles remain, but with more thematically appropriate names. Same with cleric. I didn't have a problem with doc like I did the other two, but cleric feels better thematically. I tried to wishlist on Steam, but looks like it's not there (yet?).

[@Naggfruit]

They removed vamps so why would you want easy vamp check?
