Overview
The Bodyguard is a role intended for keeping Town aligned roles alive. If a player the Bodyguard guards at night is attacked, the Bodyguard and the attacker die instead, with the guarded player 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 an evil player 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.
- The Bodyguard will stay together with his guarded target. That means he won't die if a Mass Murderer visits his target, if that target visited someone else that night.
