"Hmm, Teepo, can you shed some light on the situation?"

"Sure Elize, let me take a look at the list of roles and see which ones are passive and active!"

Jailkeeper - Prevents a person from being night killed but also prevents them from using their role or ability.
Survivor - Must survive until the end of the game to win. They win with either faction.
Watcher - They will be informed of the name of the player(s) of anyone who targets their chosen player during the night.
Tracker - They will be told the name of the player that their chosen player targets during the night.
Doctor - They will protect another player from a night kill.
Cop - This player can select another player at night and will be told whether they are town, mafia, or other.
Supersaint - If this player is killed, they will also kill the player whom cast the last vote on them.
Miller - This player is a townie who will investigate as Mafia to the cop.
Ascetic - This player is immune to all night actions EXCEPT for night kills.
Bulletproof - This player cannot be night killed.
Enabler - If this player is killed, another player will lose an ability or role.
Godfather - This player is mafia that will investigate as Town to the cop.
Roleblocker - This player can prevent their target from performing their role/ability at night.

"So a passive role is one which has no ability to choose when or not to use a role ability. They're just kinda... there? So a bulletproof is a passive, because you don't choose to be bulletproof, unless you can activate it, but I'll get onto that."

"An activated role is one where the person chooses to use it. So a Doctor would choose to use their bazongas to resuscitate the target, at least that's how they work with me. Anyway, if you have to choose to use it, it is active."

"I've marked down on the quote which ones are passive and active. Passive is green, and active is orange."

"Now the passive abilities make sense right? But some are powerful. Take bulletproof. That's quite an ability! It's possible that if someone has that passive ability, it is what's known as an activated ability. This means the person 'chooses' to be bulletproof: normally they have a limited number of uses, which we call x-shot. So it might be 1-shot (1 use), or whatever."

"There's no way of knowing whether any of the passives are in play, and if they are, if they are passive or 'activated'. But hopefully this helps everyone with an understanding of what a passive and an active role is."

"So we could have a Bulletproof Tracker? An Ascetic Roleblocker? A Miller Doctor? So many options!"
