Overview

The Bodyguard is a role intended for keeping Town aligned roles alive. If a player the Bodyguard selected at night is attacked, the Bodyguard and the attacker die instead, with the selected player unharmed.

• E.g. the Sheriff is attacked by the Serial Killer after the Bodyguard chose to protect the Sheriff. The Serial Killer and the Bodyguard will die, but the Sheriff will be unharmed.

Strategies

• Protect whoever has revealed themselves as as an important Town role. Try to target whoever you think will be killed.

• If the ability to ignore invulnerability is enabled, feel free to protect people from the first night on. Otherwise, it may be a sound strategy to wait until there is an important Town role to save, as you may die for nothing on Night 1 if you die protecting a Mafia from an invulnerable Serial Killer.

• The Bodyguard can kill a Town member, such as if a Vigilante shot your target. Be careful who you choose to protect, you do not want to save an evil role while killing a Town member.

Options

• Ignores invulnerability - (Default: On)
• Cannot be healed - (Default: On)
• Prevents Cultist conversion - (Default: Off)

Notes

• If death descriptions or night sequence is enabled, both the Bodyguard and the attacker will be reported as dying from a duel.

• Bodyguards will protect Cultists from the Mason Leader. Both the Bodyguard and the Mason Leader will die in the ensuing duel.

• Bodyguards will not protect from Arsonist douses nor will they protect from Arsonist ignitions.

• If a Bodyguard guards a person who visits a Veteran who goes on alert, the Bodyguard will die.

• A Bodyguard will always stay together with a person, that means he visits the same targets his target visits. Since this is the case he wont die through a Mass Murderer who goes on his target, but all other players will do so.
