Abilities
Chooses one person each night When the oracle dies, the chosen person's role will be revealed to all

Abilities

The oracle reveals if killed (or suicided). They can be killed at night (mafia, vigilante, killer) or by day (lynching, hunter), and the reveal will still occur. If they are saved by the doctor (or bodyguard) (test reference, 9 Feb), the reveal will not occur, as the oracle did not die. If the oracle is janned, the reveal still occurs, so everyone will know that the oracle was janned.

Revealed players are often referred to as "naked."

A living revealed player usually reflects the role of the previous night, with the exception of masoned targets. The reveals are NOT real-time (meaning, if the role changes after that point, it is NOT updated. See this game for reference on 9 Feb.)

Cop sanity IS revealed -- see test game from 9 Feb.

Oracle can oracle the jailed -- see test game from 14 Feb.

Oracle can reveal janned - see test game from 28 Apr.

Disguiser notes

• If an Oracle picks a Disguiser target and dies the same night: the "guised" is shown as original role.

• If an Oracle picks a Disguiser that is "guising" and the Oracle dies in the same night (from Vigilante, Killer, or Witch): the disguiser that is shown dead upon disguising will appear as Disguiser instead of the guised's role icon. This is consistent with how the investigative reports work; checking a Disguiser will return guilty, tracking a Disguiser will reveal the disguised person, watching the Disguiser will appear that nobody visited, etc. -- see test game on Feb 11.

• If an Oracle picks an already disguised person, the disguiser's name in the graveyard will have a disguiser icon replacing the guised's icon. This is also consistent with reports when checking an already disguised person. The disguiser's name will return in the reports. -- see test game on Feb 11.

• When Oracle self-picked and guiser guises oracle, the guised role will reveal as oracle (two oracle icons, one in graveyard which is guiser and one in village meeting which is guise.

Strategy

In several setups, Oracles may claim to be cleared since the mafia would not take the chance of being oracled and would avoid killing the oracle at all costs, similar to a Bomb claiming to be cleared.

Bug reports

Reveals true sanity of cops (sane/insane/naive/paranoid) Above report is not a bug since oracle works better than mortician and stalker (RoseOnPlayer). Wasn't intended, therefore it is a bug (confirmed as unintentional by lucid 18/2 and will be fixed) If Oracle dies, and their target is recruited by a Yakuza that same night, the old role is revealed, not their current role.
