Academy of Elemental Magic [Concluded]

[Jarema]

1. Demon worshipper (SK/Thief):

Demon Worshipper (Chaotix)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Welcome in the Academy of Elemental Magic.
You are demon worshipper who wants to kill everyone else or steal artifacts of elemental colleges and escape with them
Alignment: anti-town
Faction: Cult of Bhaal (you are the only member of it)
Elemental training: fire: AV 3, DV 1; Earth: AV 1, DV 2; Water: AV 1, DV 1; Air: AV 2, DV 1.
Corruption Score: 3 (moderately corrupted)
Hit Points: 14/14
Abilities:
1. As a night action, you can steal: name a player, and you will try to steal his items
2. If item requires night action to be used, you can use one such item as a free action every night.
3. as a night action, you can heal amount of HP = your CS. You cannot heal twice in a row.
4. When you kill somebody, during following night you can activate one of three auras as a free action:
aura of false purity: you scan as if your corruption = 0
aura of palpable corruption: every character targetting you gets 1 corruption point during next night
aura of viciousness: your attacks deal +2 HP of damage
Victory condition: Be the last living player, OR have all artifacts of elemental colleges (Everburning Torch, Fluid Sculpture, Gem of Invulnerability, Jar of Infinite Winds) and escape with them (escape is a night action, so you may be lynched earlier, or roleblocked, or something else)
Corrupting town-aligned players may be beneficial, because when certain corruption level is reached, their victory conditions change...

If he used his aura of false purity last night instead of other one, he would've been scanned as innocent...
As for stealing: if target had more than 1 item, there was 25% chance for each of them above one to be stolen in addition to one guaranteed steal

2. Cult of Defilers (Mafia)

There was no cult ever (only the name is 'cult', mechanically it is mafia).
Mafia special abilities:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

1. Mafia members add corruption level to the AV to determine if attack hit; if target's CL is higher than mafia one, mafia doesnt add anything to AV
2. Victim of mafia attack is diseased if his/her corruption level is lower than mafia one – suffers damage equal to half of mafia's player CL next night
3. If mafia gets one of college's artifacts into their hands, they can corrupt them (this made them less useful for non-corrupted characters; corrupted items may also corrupt their users)

Information about items. Almost all of them had hidden quality.

heal user for amount of HP equal to his/her fire DV (this use counts as a night action)

Shield of True Purity

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

adds + 1 to all DV's of player holding it that are lower than 4. If the holder of the Shield has no corruption points, corruption of attacker is ignored (attacker does not make additional damage because of his/her corruption). If player holding the Shield performs defense action, it adds +1 to all DV's even if they are 4 or higher

Elemental potions

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

muddy one give +1 to earth and water DV; steamy one +1 to air and fire DV, both for 2 nights. Hidden property: they corrupt user for 1 point each

Jade Katana

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This blade functions differently for characters with different levels of corruption.
If your corruption level is „uncorrupted”, then it adds + 1 to any attack AV, and additional +2 damage against target with corruption level of „utterly corrupted”.
If your corruption level is „utterly corrupted”, then it adds +1 to any attack AV, and additional +2 damage against target with corruption level of „uncorrupted”.
If your corruption level is between this two, it just adds +1 to any attack AV

Lenses of Elemental Vision

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

As a night action, user can scan another character. It gives information about target's AV and DV in element chosen by user, and information about target's corruption level. Only members of the colleges can use this item, but students will not get info about corruption. Only wielders or masters can use it fully effectively (get numbers, not estimations of them)
Hidden property: if corrupted character (CS at least 2, i. e. not uncorrupted) uses lenses for scanning, he would get false corruption raport: every one will scan as utterly corrupted; he would get correct result on element AV and DV

The lense's hidden property messed with town a lot...

Spectral Hand

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

As a FREE action, user can try to steal item from one target. If the target has any item, it is stolen and Hand is destroyed. If target has no items, hand can be used another time
Hidden property: if character uses Hand succesfully, he gains 1 point of corruption

Wands of haste, healing, protecting and cleansing

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

each of them allow casting appropriate spell. Anyone can use it. Using wand is an action, it also costs 1 HP.
Hidden property: if user has less than 5 corruption points, he gains one; if target has less than 5 corruption points, he gains one (with exception of the wand of cleansing); character will get only 1 CP if he is both user and target

Never used by anyone

Figurine of wondrous power

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

it allows you to sent message to any other player; remember to include me as a recipient of such message. It can be used multiple times.
Hidden property: after sending message to or from utterly corrupted player, figurine will become corrupted itself. From this moment, recipients of messages will get 1 point of corruption.

would be better if I give this item to the town earlier
