Villagers can have teeth too

Create a new sub-rule of Occupations “Military Occupations” with the text:

If a Villager has an Occupation which is listed in the “Military” section of the linked page, then they are trained in the art of combat, and if they ever become the target of the Werewolves, the Mayor rolls 1DICE20.  On a result of 15-20 the target continues as normal.  On a result of 8-14 the villager escapes, but no further actions are required, and the targets of all werewolves are change to no one.  On a result of 2-7 the villager escapes with a clue as to the identity of the werewolves.  This clue consists of a sing letter which is in the name of one of the werewolves.  On a result of 1 the villager manages to kill 1 random werewolf, decided in whatever fashion the Mayor deems acceptable.

Rough Draft, lemme know if there is enough response to the idea to clean it up, and chages I should make :)

i think that military would have to be either conscripted by mayor (realistic) or voted by town meeting (fair), but that people wouldn’t be able to choose it on their own. otherwise, people already w/ occupations would be at a disadvantage to new folks & peasants, who would have little reason i could see not to choose a military profession.

I agree with aaronwinborn on all points, and add that it also messes with the balance of the game.

well, remember that you can’t choose a military occupation, so right now that’s all moot.

Maybe not ‘military’ but a sort of local militia, members chosen by the town. Having the Mayor make the choice seems odd, since the mayor would know who the werewolves are and aren’t.

This is Nomic! There’s rarely any need for a draft discussion, just make a proposal.

You’ll also get more attention and feedback if people are having to vote, and you’ll save them from having to read both the draft and the final proposal in careful detail.

Well, it was meant to be a proposal, I just f’d up :P.
