This powerful character can't kill directly, but he can however cause deep changes in the course of the game. Like the Village Idiot, the Necromancer can use the mafia channel, but cannot murder. He does not count for the mafia victory. However, UNLIKE the village idiot, he is NOT immune to detective investigation. Also, he can be disabled by the prostitute.

Strategies

While the necromancer's ability seem to be a valuable asset, it obviously has plenty of weaknesses. You should remind yourself and other mafia players that your alignment doesn't count towards your factions numbers towards victory, you are not immune to investigation and most players consider the necromancers only true ability the !confuse command.

Weakness

As stated above you already have plenty of weaknesses, however a it turns out you and your abilities are riddled with flaws that only add to your eventual death. Such as:

  • You are vulnerable to priest's exorcism.
  • Your possession skill only allows you to control your host and your body lays dormant, thus an alert player may notice your absence.
  • Not immune to detective's investigate.
  • You do not aid your faction to victory in personal count.

!Confuse

Since possession is an ability riddled with flaws that even pro players tend to avoid, your main ability will be !confuse. Thus your main target will obviously be the public detective. By preventing him from speaking you are enabling the mafia to take control of the main channel and instigate chaos and confusion when voting.
