Bodyguard Buff

[worldly ferry]

Changes

• Bodyguard will now block all attacks on their target when successfully protecting
• Bodyguard’s attack becomes Basic
• Bodyguard will no longer die when protecting, instead becoming permanently Injured
• If the bodyguard’s attack target lives, they become Injured

Bodyguards may still protect themselves with their armour if they successfully protect someone

Injured - Keyword
Players that are injured may not perform their abilities for two nights, then Injure dissipates and gives Hangover

Bodyguards protecting their targets also become Injured, although their injuries will not go away or provide hangover

Variable changes

• How long injure lasts for
• Attack value for bodyguard
• Hangover after injure

Why?

Bodyguard, quite frankly, sucks to play as.
Most people do not have fun and its better dead than alive due to retributionist, and giving shroud a niche double kill, career ending for neutral killers, this rework aims to solve those problems while not changing its core identity as a heavy duty town protective

[worldly ferry]

thanks ?fig

ill update the keyword once slowmode is off cooldown because discord L

[jaunty bone]

two nights of rb is pretty excessive i think. one night of rb is prob better

[worldly ferry]

its why i stuck it as a variable

so its still a huge threat to neut killers but isnt completely game ending

if it was one night id remove it adding hangover

[abstract adder]

I think injured should change to you can use your ability in two nights (only skip 1 night) but if interacted with and you visit you die for the second night

[worldly ferry]

what

[abstract adder]

Doesn’t make nks really vulnerable

[worldly ferry]

they deserve some heavy punishment for hitting the bodyguard’s target

[abstract adder]

Bg should have to wait 2 night while injured targets who survive bg attack should have to wait 1 but are vulnerable

[worldly ferry]

and they arent dying for it because thats dumb

[vapid sluice]

anotha one

[abstract adder]

You should have a second chance

[worldly ferry]

do you like it or not?

[worldly ferry]

they do

[vapid sluice]

idk didn't read it

ok hold

[worldly ferry]

they just get roleblocked for 2 nights as punishment

instead of dying

[abstract adder]

Without having to skip multiple nights

Or admirer should cure it

[worldly ferry]

dont hit the bodyguard’s target

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[abstract adder]

Give admi a use

[worldly ferry]

why

thats neg utility for town

why would admirer save the guy who the bodyguard fought off

are they dumb?

[abstract adder]

And if your Schrödinger shroud?

[abstract adder]

Save both

[vapid sluice]

Bodyguard will now block all attacks on their target when successfully protecting
loses again
Bodyguard’s attack becomes Basic
NK stocks are up
Bodyguard will no longer die when protecting, instead becoming permanently Injured
cool let's see how this is balanced
If the bodyguard’s attack target lives, they become Injured
Players that are injured may not perform their abilities for two nights, then Injure dissipates and gives Hangover
hm... well... this is better ig

although this is

increased kpn

[worldly ferry]

cleric can protect multiple times

what

this decreases kpn

[vapid sluice]

no?

[abstract adder]

Multi kill

[vapid sluice]

you still att-

NO

[worldly ferry]

if the serial killer gets murked by a bg

[vapid sluice]

what i mean is

[worldly ferry]

then they cant kill

it cant kill multiple people

[vapid sluice]

ffs

[abstract adder]

Multiple kills in a game

Not rampage

[vapid sluice]

n1: protect, kill coven
n2: injured
n3: injured
n4: protect, kill coven

@worldly ferry

[worldly ferry]

bodyguards are permanently injured

…

[vapid sluice]

it says 2 nights/

[abstract adder]

What

[worldly ferry]

read the clause

ill specify it

though

[abstract adder]

This is bullshit

[vapid sluice]

wait then

[abstract adder]

Your not even a role anymore

[worldly ferry]

oh i cant even

[vapid sluice]

what the fuck is the keyword for??

[worldly ferry]

you dont die

[abstract adder]

I’d much rather tp chain to live then this

[worldly ferry]

.

[abstract adder]

And Fisk to being fake

[worldly ferry]

tp chain is dumb

[abstract adder]

Risk*

[worldly ferry]

dying when you use your ability is dumb

[abstract adder]

And a 1 time old crus is even worse

[worldly ferry]

this isnt old crus

this is bodyguard.

[abstract adder]

It’s worse

[worldly ferry]

people hate dying when playing it

so i fixed that

[abstract adder]

Old crus didn’t punish nks risking a night knowing they won’t get punished

[worldly ferry]

being a villager after you successfully block an attack is completely fine

[worldly ferry]

then dont hit the bgs target

nk arent invincible

[vapid sluice]

imma be dead as

is better

[abstract adder]

True

[vapid sluice]

idk

i mean

this is... better

but BG is still gonna be ass

because it's a weak as fuck TP

[abstract adder]

Then bg sure

[worldly ferry]

role bloat issue

working with whatever I have here

[vapid sluice]

"role bloat" my brother in tuba it's 5 roles

[abstract adder]

But why waste time adding this when cleric is still better

[vapid sluice]

bg...

bg is ad-

bg exists

[worldly ferry]

brother how many tps can exist without one being better than the other

[vapid sluice]

fair

[worldly ferry]

theres not exactly much space

so yes

it is role bloat

[vapid sluice]

ok no just because-

it's not role bloat 😭

[worldly ferry]

to make bodyguard more bearable to play

[vapid sluice]

role bloat would be like 10 fucking roles

in a single bucket

[abstract adder]

No atleast current bodyguard punishes more for being a dumbass

[worldly ferry]

for you maybe

[abstract adder]

Even if it’s boring

[worldly ferry]

it hard punishes NK by causing them to lose the game

it doesn’t punish coven as much

[abstract adder]

And this still sucks

[worldly ferry]

bodyguard is supposed to have a heavy duty “glass cannon” if you will design

[abstract adder]

Why not atleast remove the punishment for nks then

[worldly ferry]

what

[abstract adder]

On this

[worldly ferry]

this makes the game recoverable compared to instant loss

unless double nk spawned

[abstract adder]

And that’s the problem it just makes both issues nearly major then just 1 major

[worldly ferry]

what?

[abstract adder]

Nevermind you never understand me

[vapid sluice]

????

[worldly ferry]

please speak coherently next time

[worldly ferry]

fixed

on another note, should TP block injury or nah

[worldly ferry]

like if the CK gets barriered they dont become injuried
