Bard

My Ability:

Learn how far I am from closest Corrupted character.

Other Info

I point at specifically the closest Corrupted character. If I Lie, I can still point towards a Corrupted character if it isn't the closest.

Strategy

The Bard's primary use is determining who might or might not be Corrupted. This is useful for fighting roles like the Poisoner or Pooka, and for working around roles like the Drunk and Plague Doctor. His ability tells you that, out of the 2 characters sitting a particular distance from him, at least 1 is Corrupted. He also tells you that anyone sitting closer to him than that is not Corrupted. You can use the Bard's information to help determine why someone is Lying, or whether or not nearby Good characters are telling the truth. However, beware: If someone closer is lying because they are corrupted, the Bard is lying as well.

If there's no corruption in play or the Alchemist removed all corruption, they will claim there is no corrupted character
