Minority Rule X: Apocalypse Pandora

A crumbling world ruled by an apocalyptic dragon that feasts on all things, its unrelenting hunger driving it towards places where prey is most numerous. The only escape is through an other-world portal that will only allow a maximum of X creatures to enter.

This is a PvP game of simple decision-making and chance. Players start with 100 HP. When a player has 0 or less HP, s/he is eliminated. Each round, players pick an Item out of a randomly selected pool of Items. At the end of the round, players that picked the Item(s) with the most picks are attacked by the Apocalypse Dragon, taking 50 HP damage. The game ends when, at the end of a round, X or fewer players remain, at which point those players win. X will either be 2 or 25% of starting players, whichever is the greater number. Additionally, Items that are picked typically have effects that trigger before the Dragon attacks.

Each player starts with a Basic Status of their choice (see below for what each Status does). Players may gain new Statuses from various events such as picking Items. If a player gains a Status s/he already has, nothing happens. Statuses may have effects that trigger at the start of each round, after picking is complete. There is no limit to the number of Statuses a player may have.

Anatomy of a round:

1. Round start: Players pick Items out of a randomly assembled Item Pool.
2. Player Statuses trigger simultaneously.
3. Items in the Item Pool trigger simultaneously.
4. The Apocalypse Dragon attacks players who picked majority Items.
5. Round end: if only X players remain, those players win the game. Otherwise, next round starts.

(Note: To avoid confusion with rules, I'll always have the updated rules and lists in this post and the one below. When participating in a current round, ignore rules and postings from previous games, as they are probably outdated.)

Exiles may not pick Items that they have picked in past rounds. If an Exile cannot pick an Item, that player loses Exile and abstains from picking for that round.
Faeries may trade Statuses and/or HP with other Faeries, with consent from both players. Maximum of one Status and up to 50 HP per player traded per turn.
Hydras gain a random Status when they take damage.
Krakens may pick multiple Items, but they must pick at least two or more.
Lunatics lose 1-100 HP at the end of each turn, and gain instead of lose HP when attacked by the Apocalypse Dragon.
Mermaids may pick Forbidden even if it is not in the Item Pool.
Mimics, instead of picking between Items, pick between players instead, copying those players' Item picks.
Ogres' picks count as one-and-a-half players.
Zombies count as dead players and cannot win the game, but may continue playing the game until they are eliminated.

Legendary Statuses:
Dwarves' picks count as half a player.
Genies can pick any Item other than Void, even if it's not in the Item Pool. When an outside Item is picked, the Genie loses Genie.
Phoenixes revive when eliminated, becoming a player with 50 HP and a random Status.

Transient Statuses:
Immortals cannot be eliminated from the game. When the round ends, Immortals lose Immortal Status; if they have less than 1 HP, their HP is set to 1.

Bump! Aiming for 8 players!

[ATHATH]

Just by looking at this, I can already tell that mermaids are extremely OP. They can just keep choosing forbidden each turn and outlast all of the other players.

Mermaids can't keep picking Forbidden. When a player picks Forbidden, they gain Mermaid, so when a Mermaid picks Forbidden, they lose Mermaid.

Mermaids can't keep picking Forbidden. When a player picks Forbidden, they gain Mermaid, so when a Mermaid picks Forbidden, they lose Mermaid.

So put that in the Mermaid text. Also I wondering, does Lunatic's HP reverse affect the dragon damage?

For now I have it as:

Forbidden - Only Mermaids and players with 2 or more statuses can pick this Item. A random picker gains Mermaid.

Might change it to ALL pickers gain Mermaid...
And yes, it does. All damage becomes healing, all healing becomes damage.
