The notable differences between the two are that Unseen has more variety in converted roles, however, they have fewer members. Unseen caps out at 3 while Cult caps out at 4.
Okay so Unseen caps at 3 and below the rules state that:
- In Unseen games, the Mastermind, the Assassin, and the Sheriff are guaranteed.
Mastermind and Assassin are both guaranteed. Meaning Assassin and Mastermind start the game right? Correct me if I'm wrong anyone who is experienced here with ToL. And since the Unseen also have to cult someone here, they can't have started with the illusionist.
And the Assassin or the mastermind can't PR someone. Meaning we:
1) Started with the cult and the apostle is one of them.
2) We have a fool here.
So good, we've narrowed it down to potentially knowing which scum faction we're dealing with, or knowing we have a jester here.
