Wait, what? The wendigo has killed someone other than Broddring? When did this happen?
Or am I misunderstanding? Or are you misunderstanding?
In case that is the case, note that the player stopping baddies from killing good guys would obviously not prevent the Wendigo from killing a psycho.
I was referencing the wendigo killing Broddring, trying to point out that the wendigo is a baddie, thus making it that the player negating all baddies' attacks not possible, just negating the pshycopath's attacks...
I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I'll break it down for you:
*The stranger, if that's who you meant, Negates ALL attacks/targets if his power is used, which includes the Wendigo and the Player.
*The Player has no inherent powers of their own. They're given a scenario during each Split Up session, and they make a choice on that scenario:
*The Good Choice affects the good guys positively in some way, whether that be giving an automatic defense regardless of target, an extra scan for the seer, or anything else that may benefit the good guys personally.
*The Bad Choice does this for the good guys, whether it be giving the Psychopaths an extra kill, giving the psychos an automatic shield that protects them from accidental Wendigo kills, or anything that benefits the bad guys personally.
*The Neutral Choice is something that doesn't affect the game or the players, or is a neutral option that has the potential to benefit either side depending other choices made by the Player (or someone else if they were given something as a result of the player's choice from that scenario).
The player has no knowledge of which choices are which. They're simply given options like one would in a Choose Your Own Adventure book, or in the case of the actual game of Until Dawn, where the player would have to choose left or right, but wouldn't be told the benefits/consequence of choosing said path.
So really, the power itself is within whatever choice they make, and thus affects whatever comes into play, if it does.
And if you're assuming that powers were negated during the last Split Up, they weren't. Like at the end of the first one, you would have been informed if that were the case again.
