KINDRED SPIRIT

The Kindred Spirit seeks its own kind, but may not be entirely trustworthy.

Playing as the Kindred Spirit

This Townsfolk gets one shot - one opportunity - to find its kind, so make your first night count. If you find a Kindred Spirit, they learn who you are, which is fantastic confirmation, but sadly since one of you may be evil, there is no guarantee that you can trust them. With that said, you know one player who is, with certainty, not the Demon, and this in turn is great information, regardless of their alignment. Other information clearing you, and other Kindred Spirits, can add to that confirmation and lead to extraordinarily strong chains of confirmation.

Bluffing as the Kindred Spirit

If you know the Kindred Spirit is not in play, this is a fantastic bluff that allows the evil team to confirm amongst themselves, but it does require the evil team to sink heavily into the Kindred Spirit role, and its innate ability to turn one Kindred Spirit evil may play against you. However, being determined to be not the Demon can work in your favour!

If, however, the Kindred Spirit is in play, you may be gambling not just against the numbers, but also whether anyone chooses you on the first night. With that said, the addition of an evil Kindred Spirit ostensibly means that if you're able to locate them, you'll be able to "swap" roles with them, leading to some really interesting and powerful interactions. If you think you've found an evil Kindred Spirit, leverage them to your advantage, and perhaps create actual, real confirmations!
