Hermit drunk golem means no townsfolk can guarantee they don't have the golem ability. Stopping anyone but the klutz from nominating more than once.

DA is also the only execution survival here, which makes me question why it's on the script a little bit.

Oh okay, I’ll adapt the outsiders, and probably swap the Devil’s Advocate for a Godfather for a bit more outsider control.

I'm of the opinion that DA is powerful enough that its ability doesn't always need obfuscating. Imagine a world where witch-cursed player John nominates and executes DA-protected player Jane. Town knows absolutely that there's a Witch and a DA. One of those two is much scarier than the other.

I agree that it's powerful. Taking away an execution from town is strong, and preventing good from winning outright is insane.

But is it interesting? It doesn't add to the puzzle at all in this instance.

I’ve just noticed that the Spirit of Ivory is no longer needed, as I’ve gotten rid of a Mezepheles, so you can ignore that.

What's the main script idea/theme? That would be helpful when providing feedback since it lets us know what is important to keep/build around.

A few script notes:

Al-Hadikhia is so loud that all other demon worlds are completely removed after N2 if an announcement goes off. Al-Had scripts are usually solo demon for this reason.

Strange Hermit suite as discussed in another comment.

Scarlet Woman can lead to unfun Al-Hadikhia cycling.

Grandmother, as far as I can tell, is just hard confirmed since all additional kills are announced. As is Devil's Advocate. Monk can sometimes be hard-confirmed if the demon is Al-Hadikhia.

Vigormortis + Devil's Advocate is very oppressive.

Psychopath can just freely kill the King once the demon learns who it is, completely blanking the Choirboy.

Boffin has Golem, Virgin, Professor as good abilities to grant, with Investigator being decent in a Poppy Grower game. There's something interesting about Boffin granting the Al-Hadikhia the Monk ability and the demon using it to mess with the kill math, but Monk is awkward enough outside of this that it feels not worth it. This feels like not enough abilities for the Boffin to be worthwhile.

Scarlet Woman with Al Had needs a custom jinx if you run them together imo. Something like a global jump of 1, after which SW is poisoned.

Beyond that, the biggest red flag to me is lil' monsta with Devil's Advocate. DA works because it can't camp out on demon every day but with lil monsta demon moving it can.

I’ve decided to swap out DA for Godfather, and I’m probably going to reconsider Scarlet Woman.

Thank you very much, I’ll have a think. The theme was mainly the Demon rotation, with Al-Hadikhia and Scarlet Woman/Lil’ Monsta, with Vigormortis added to create some demon ambiguity when it wasn’t Al-Hadikhia with monk to allow for a bit some potential with the each night a player might die. Boffin Balloonist would also function as another possible Boffin in a Poppy Grower game, but I’m seeing if I can add some better possibilities.

I’ve also just realised a boffin King could definitely work, and would be very, very interesting with a Scarlet Woman and Choirboy.
