# Roles

> Murder Mystery Bot roles, including who is always in the game and how many players each conditional role needs.

Some roles are in every game. Others appear only when enough players have joined. Night choices arrive by DM as a menu. The same list is available in Discord with `!wiki` and `/wiki`.

Typing the option number still works when a night menu is open. See [playing and setup](/projects/murder-mystery/playing-setup) for the day and night flow, and [items](/projects/murder-mystery/items) for the night shop.

## Always included

### Murderer

Kills one player every night. Wins by being the last side standing. Always in the game.

### Doctor

When the murderer or werewolf attacks someone, the doctor gets a DM with **Heal them** and **Let them die**. The heal can be used only once per game, including if the doctor is the target. Wins by killing the murderer. Always in the game.

## Conditional roles

### Detective

Inspects a player's role at night. The result arrives the next night. Minimum players: 4.

### Thief

Each night, may steal half of someone's gold. The chance is 50%. Minimum players: 4.
