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.
