The Baker

The Baker is a Villager who chooses a player to whom "to give bread" each night. When this happens the Moderator taps the chosen player on the shoulder and wakes them up. The chosen player learns the identity of the Baker and knows that the Baker is on the Villagers side. However, if the Baker dies, the Villagers have 3 turns to kill all of the remaining Werewolves or the Village starves to death and the Village loses the game. The Baker can never choose a player they have previously chosen.

Games can have duplicate roles that include the Butcher and the Candlestick Maker. As long as at least one of them remains the 3 turn timer doesn't start.

The Baker could allow the players to form a small voting block. However this far outweighed by the fact that the game could end far earlier than a normal Werewolf victory. Because of this the Baker by itself is only recommended for large games with a low number of Werewolves, or one with Vampires and Werewolves are competing. Without a decisive victory from either the Werewolves or the Vampires all players can be declared the losers.

The Baker Variations

 * The Baker still "gives bread" to players, but there is no timer at his death. Balance is slightly in favor of the Villagers if this variant is used.
 * If the Baker dies any Villager who has a special ability can give up their role to become the Baker. This variant balances less against the Villagers than the basic rules, but is still largely in favor of the Werewolves.
 * In this variation, the Baker can give the same player bread on more than one occasion. After the Baker dies, the town goes into a state of famine. If a player has 1 piece of bread, they will live half a day (1 night or 1 day) past the 3-day timer. If a player has 2 pieces, they live for an entire day, and so on.
