Yeah, not sure why you'd want to turn off the bomb, but I don't see any reason to disallow it.

As for the daykill, yeah, the assassin bot would give away that there is an alien. But you can't trace it back to them, so that's all anyone would learn from it.

Hmm...I suppose I could give the Mad Scientist an Assassin bot as well...that would muddy things up a bit.

[Kashyyk]

You could also have a daytime AWV aswell.

[Zai]

You could also have a daytime AWV aswell.

Or simply have the AWV we already have be able to either kill in the day or in the night. Or something. I dunno though.

[Mephansteras]

That might be harder to pull off, as far as people not knowing who did it.

Giving the Mad Scientist an Assassin bot works ok, though, since it fits the gadget nature of the MS and since the Mad Scientist can be either Human or Dopp, you don't get any immediate knowledge from someone being assassinated. It still provides clues, of course, based on who was assassinated and what they were, but I like the ambiguity of the situation.

Question

If FBI Alien contacts agent, but town loses, what happens?

 

[inaluct]

Combat choppers move in and kill the dopps?

[Mephansteras]

Or they get rounded up or something, yeah. I'd have to make an interesting end-story for that.

[Org]

Does the alien lose?

[Mephansteras]

No, if the Alien contacts the Agent, he wins regardless of what happens to the town. It's only if he fails to contact the agent that his victory condition becomes tied to the town's.

Same way that the Dopp Hunter wins if he captures an alien, but reverts to winning with the dopps if he dies.

I think I'll go with the new list of Alien gear, and give each alien a piece of said gear.

Also, I'm going to give the Mad Scientist an Assassin bot option as well, since I like the additional misdirection that can add.

The plasma bomb thingy- can it kill the exterminator?
As in, he fires at A, who guards B, who guards the exterminator. A dies, B dies, does Exterminator die?

[Mephansteras]

No, the person using the bomb is specifically exempt. Otherwise, it effects people who are at that location for some reason. So the person guarding the Exterminator would die even though the Exterminator would not.

[webadict]

No, the person using the bomb is specifically exempt. Otherwise, it effects people who are at that location for some reason. So the person guarding the Exterminator would die even though the Exterminator would not.

So, technically, he could use it on himself, knowing full well he can't die but can kill everyone interacting with him?

[Mephansteras]

Uh, no. If he uses it on himself he still dies. The only reason he doesn't die if he uses it on someone else is that he's smart enough to stay out of the blast Radius.

[NUKE9.13]

Man, that would be an epic ending:
There are only power roles left. And a dopp, maybe.
They all end up (somehow) in the same place as the exterminator.
The exterminator fires the plasma bomb at himself.

BOOM

Game over, everybody loses!
