Role Changing

## Rules for Role Changing

When players change roles many things have to happen. These are either direct mechanics of the game, or features required for memory/information.

### Role List

Each player has a list of all roles they have had that game. If their role never changed, it is sufficient to consider their role card as the entire list, but in other cases, the list should be enumerated in text. When a player changed roles, the prior rule should be crossed out (*though it must remain legible*), and the new role should be written below.

If a player has no current role, they become a Serf.

Players can usually see the exact status of their role list, but in cases where a player doesn't know that their role has been changed, a second rile list should be kept for that player, by the Game-Runner.

### Alignment Changes

All players a given an alignment token for each alignment they have. When a player changes alignment (either through a role change or otherwise), their Alignment tokens are updated accordingly.
The Standard Win Condition of the form "Win with [your alignment]," is also update based on the current alignment of the player.

In addition to alignment tokens, players with a Leader Role, or who have had leadership passed to then, get a Leader token. All players with a Leader token are leaders of their alignment.

If a player has no alignment, they become Neutral (*Unaligned*).

As with role tokens, players can usually see the exact status of their Alignment tokens, but in cases where a player doesn't know that their alignment has been changed, a second second of alignment tokens should be kept for that player, by the Game-Runner.

### Role Swaps

When a player changes roles, if it is a result of a swap (either with another player, or with an unused role [*i.e.: From Jobs, Discard, or Box*]), that player switches their physical role card with the other one.

In all other cases, players keep their original role card. (*Players may freely view a copy of any role card, and the physical card a player has has no bearing on the rules after obtaining it.*)

### Mechanical Effects

First players modify the abilities/effects of their new role based on the effect that caused them to change roles. (*This includes modifying Starting Tokens, Types, NSN, and win Conditions, even if not explicitly stated.*)
When modifying the number Nomination tokens, modify based on the number of additional tokens (*difference from 2. [i.e.: Shapeshifter -> Mayor = +0 -> +2 =4, but The Father -> Mayor = +1 -> +3 = 5]*)

Players then lose all abilities and gain the abilities of their new role (*Which may have been modified to include some, or all, of the old abilities.*)
Their is no time when the player has no abilities, as they immediately gain the new ones. (*This means that if you were told to keep you old abilities, it acts effectively like you never lost them.*)

Players then correct their tokens based on their old and new "Starting Tokens." Players lose all of their old Starting Tokens, and gain the new starting tokens.
The way that the number of flipped vs unflipped nomination tokens a player should have is calculated as follows: If you gain nomination tokens, you have the same number of flipped nomination tokens as before; If you lost nomination tokens, you have the same number of unflipped nomination tokens as before (*capped by the total number of nomination tokens you now have.*)

Any tokens gained from a source other then Starting Tokens are kept as they were before hand (*and Role Tokens follow the process found in Role Tokens*)
After changing roles, players may or may not have to have an Alignment Change. This is also Separate from the Starting Token Change.

Additionally, note that, in general, when modifying abilities, you also follow these steps (*in particular for alignment and Starting Tokens*).

Also note that there may be times when players gain abilities without changing their NSN, in such cases, they use their old NSN, even if it would break what would typically be the normal Sequence.

### Role/Alignment Viewing

If an effect would allow a player to reveal or view a player's tokens, that effect does not reveal role card/list and alignment tokens (Unless otherwise stated).

When an effect would allow a player to view another player’s role, they are shown the of the role that the second player is viewed as. When viewing alignment, the first player is shown alignment tokens from the box.
