I've thought about having something sort of like a Healer. And the Healer could resurrect dead players.

Of course to have the healer do this on a daily basis would be extremely long and prolonged, so perhaps the amount of "energy" and power needed it takes the healer an extreme amount and can only resurrect a deceased player every 3 days? Any dead player, whether be lynched wolf or innocent, or killed by wolves...etc. Any dead player of their choosing to resurrect and that player will enter back into the game as an ordinary.

This was slightly inspired by my recent dream where after I was lynched I came back posting that I was a ghost. Just kind of something I recently thought of and might sound a bit whacky.

Or you could up the Wolf kills per night...

I think a game with a Healer, though, would be best advised to NOT reveal the roles upon death- thus making the choices of the Healer more peril-fraught and interesting. Will you cure a Gifted? Cure an Innocent? Resurrect a Wolf even?

I think I have a name for my super Ranger. It's quite simple, really.... Watcher. This is what the Hobbits called the Rangers, so it's just another term for Ranger, but kind of implies the "sight" of a Seer through "watching."

Oooh... I like that. Will that be resereved just for your Quadruple Lover's game, or could somebody else use that sometime.

Well that sounds like fun to me, although I can see a loop-hole already. If you bring back anyone as an ordinary, it might make for a short-lived game. You see, whenever the first wolf dies, the Healer revives them as an ordinary, and they know who the other wolves were and are.

Although, that could make an interesting addition to a Dueling Wizards Game as a fourth gifted. And that would automatically iron out the problem with the game's length, since the wolves can get multiple kills per night as Formendacil mentioned. And any wolf brought back by the Healer wouldn't know any wolves unless the Evil Wizard had named names. That would be really interesting.

It's not reserved. I will be using it, but anyone else is free to break it in before that time.

Same goes for the Basilisk, especially since it won't actually be in my Lovers game. There are enough ways to die in that one already, methinks!
