The Shaman Shaman is a role in distant or hardcore towns, chosen by election on the first night of a town's existence, and when the current shaman dies. Shaman alone can accurately locate Lost Soul lost souls wandering within the World Beyond World Beyond. Shaman also practices a variety of ancient healing methods, but they do not always work.

Abilities

• Transport as many souls as their inventory allows - other professions are limited to one at a time.
• Locate Lost Souls in the World Beyond. The souls are shown on the Map Map.

• Each day, the Shaman receives 5 special 'Mystic Points' () to be used to power his abilities.

• Make it rain: This costs 3 and has a different effect based on location:
  • If used in the World Beyond it has a chance to eliminate 3-6 zombies in the current zone.
  • If used on the Town Gates 5 water will be added to the Well if successful and the following entry will be added to the well register:.
  • [Shaman] made it rain baby! Thanks to them the well has gained 5 rations of clean water!
• Create a special Mystic Potion that allows others to be able to collect Tortured Soul Tortured Souls. Without this, other players will instantly die upon trying to pick up a Tortured Soul. The creation of this potion uses up one Water Ration and one .

• The Shaman may heal the following effects at the cost of 2 per attempt:
• Note: The attempt may also result in the shaman taking the affliction into his own body. (Unknown chance.)
  • Terrorised Terrorised

    Successful: There's nothing better than fear to vanquish terror. You remove your Shaman mask and gently blow a home-made hallucinogenic powder onto their face, to induce a sleep-walking state. Your tete-a-tete quickly provokes "pavor nocturnus". When they reawaken [Citizen] seems to have been relieved from their terrorized state.

    Failure: However, simply seeing this citizen in such a state of utter terror has terrorized you.

    • Infected Infected

    Successful: You unsheath your sacred knife and begin to «prepare» following a well-practised sequence of ritualistic movements. The energy flow guides you and without hesitation you make an incision at the base of the infected limb. The decontamination process is underway, albeit slowly.

    Successful but infection is transfered to shaman: You unsheath your sacred knife and begin to «prepare» following a well-practised sequence of ritualistic movements. The energy flow guides you and without hesitation you make an incision at the base of the infected limb. The decontamination process is underway, albeit slowly. Suddenly an infected blister bursts. Your already scorched skin quickly breaks out in open sores and infectious germs decide to make them their home.

    Failure: That's impossible... you don't feel anything, no energy, no flow to guide you. The risk of killing [Citizen] is too great.

    • Drunk Drunk

    Successful: You unsheath your sacred knife and begin to «prepare» following a well-practised sequence of ritualistic movements. The energy flow guides you and without hesitation you make an incision just beside the liver. As a clear liquid leaks from their freshly mutilated body, [Citizen] is freed from the clutches of alcohol.

    Failure: ???

    • Drugged Drugged

    Successful: You unsheath your sacred knife and begin to «prepare» following a well-practised sequence of ritualistic movements. The energy flow guides you and without hesitation you make an incision just beside the right lung. Try as you may to resist the forces guiding you, you cannot stop your blade from plunging deep into [Citizen], causing a clear liquid to leak from their freshly mutilated body.

    Failure: That's impossible... you don't feel anything, no energy, no flow to guide you. The risk of killing [Citizen] is too great.

Election

In distant regions, the citizens can vote for the Shaman in the Electoral Office. This can be accessed in the Citizens page. Any player who does not cast a vote will have their vote decided randomly.
