Bootlegger rules
- If the Plague Doctor dies, that night, everybody alive gains the same Minion ability, until dusk.
- (Optional) If there are 5 or more players alive & the Demon dies, only one player with the Scarlet Woman ability will become the Demon.
- If a good player with the Scarlet Woman ability becomes the Demon, they become evil.
- If the Plague Doctor dies, each player who gets the Boffin ability might give the Demon a different good character's ability (not necessarily out of play). They only learn the ability that they themselves gave to the Demon.
- Legion might gain the Boffin ability. If so, one member of Legion learns what the ability is, and who has it. I humbly beg of you, please just give them Alchemist! (Boffin/Drunk jinx does not apply if in a Legion world.)
- If the Slayer shoots themselves, they might register as the Demon.
