Not feeling too well? Started seeing visions? I can explain all there is to drunkenness or poisoning. However, I’m sadly not equipped to treat the symptoms. You’re going to have to live with that.
Drunkenness and poisoning
Drunkenness and poisoning within this game are mechanically identical. At all times, every player is either ‘drunk’ or ‘sober’ and either ‘poisoned’ or ‘healthy’. Several abilities within the game can cause a player to be (often temporarily) drunk or poisoned. Players do not know whether they are drunk or poisoned!
Drunk and poisoned players have no ability, but they think that they do. What does this mean? The storyteller will play along with whatever ability you think you have. If you have an ability that gathers information, the storyteller will yield you purposely misleading information instead. Most likely, this information will be false, but that is not guaranteed. The storyteller can choose to give you the correct information if they deem that to be more confusing. If you have a role that protects people, you won’t protect anyone. Even the demon can be made drunk! In this case, they still try to kill in the night, but nobody dies as a result. If you have a ‘once per game’ ability and you try to use it when you are drunk or poisoned, it won’t work and you do not get to use it again. It is gone.
