You think I am, therefore I am.
ABILITY:
1 Townsfolk is poisoned and registers as an evil Minion. You learn a Townsfolk role and register as that character, and good: even if dead. One player knows the Doppelganger is one of two characters. [-1 or +1 Outsider]
STORYTELLER NOTES:
Remember that the Doppelganger’s role and alignment misregisters, as does the player they replace. This is useful for the Mathematician.
The Doppelganger steals a good player's identity and alignment, but leave clues to their true nature.
Playing as the Doppelganger
You’ve supplanted a Townsfolk: have fun! Although someone around the Grimoire knows you are in play, offering credible information can lend you the credibility necessary to stay alive, and perhaps even implicate the other known player. Remember that because you register falsely, you don’t have to worry about characters like the Dreamer or Ravenkeeper who would otherwise be able to sniff you out, but keep in mind that if you stay alive too long, it’s likely that questions will be asked regarding why. If you’re found out, the world you’ve built might unravel, so prepare a graceful exit while you can.
If a Doppelganger is on script but not in play, you might want to consider being the “knowing” player: this will lead townsfolk to question whether their information is legitimate, or whether their powers are working as intended.
Example
Kristin is the Doppelganger who has stolen the Dreamer's ability. The real Dreamer is poisoned. Kristin is able to learn the roles of Townsfolk, and spread misinformation about the evil team.
Fighting the Doppelganger
The biggest tells as to whether the Doppelganger is in play is that someone finds out at the start of the game. However, this isn’t always reliable, so instead, sniff out double claims. If two players claim the same role and won’t back down, it’s possible that one of them is a Minion. Remember that the one with the poisoned information just might be the real one.
Example
Ben is the General who learns that the Empath or the Dentist is the Doppelganger. Ben dies on Night 2. There is a double claim of Dentist, and one is able to correctly discern that the General is dead. The other claims the General is alive. Ben pushes on the Dentist with sober info, who turns out to be the Doppelganger.
