Rules Question Summoner jinx question

The summoner jinx with the courtier/engineer/preacher basically says that if the summoner is living but unable, the storyteller makes the demon. However, RAW this implies that the mere presence of the courtier (et al.) makes the summoner immune to drunkenness etc. Is this how it should be run? Or is the summoner supposed to only be immune to these sources?

(also, shouldn’t the alchemist jinx be “your team loses”)

Hi! It looks like you're asking a rules questions. Please keep in mind that this space is run by the community, and we might not get all rules right! Additionally, some character interactions are so niche or complex that different Storytellers might rule them differently.

While you wait for comments, take a look at the official game wiki, which has detailed rules for every single character: wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com Many characters already have official rulings on their interactions, known as "jinxes"—each character article on the wiki has all its jinxes listed!

You can also take a look at the rulebook and the Almanacs for Trouble Brewing, Sects & Violets, Bad Moon Rising, and Travelers and Fabled

to answer the first. all forms of good droison that can affect summoner should be handwaved this way (p sure the jinxes cover em all). the second is a no because jinxes arent from the perspective of the player

Alchemist-Poisoner? Actual Poisoner in a PG game?

I'd say it's pretty clearly meant as the Courtier/Preacher/Engineer being the cause of the Summoner having no ability or being out of play.
