Doctor
- If a killing role attacks a target healed by a Doctor, instead of "no message" they get the "Your target's defense was too strong to kill!" message. Agreed. Make it apply to the Potion Master and Guardian Angel as well (for consistency's sake).
- Doctor's role card is updated with a new attribute "You will know if your target was attacked." to help newer players in understanding the Doctor more effectively. I thought this already existed, but yeah.

Bodyguard
- If you successfully protect someone, you cannot be saved in any way meaning you will always die if you successfully protect someone. Yes. Please.

Crusader > Marshal I don't really care on this part. I've never really liked Marshal.
- Crusader has been replaced by Marshal, role card in spoilers.
Spoiler: Marshal

Attributes:

- You may not protect yourself.
- You are role block and control immune.

Special Attributes:

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.
Trapper > Botanist This looks cool. Yes.
- Trapper has been replaced by Botanist, role card in spoilers.
Spoiler: Botanist

Attributes:

- You may not plant a plant at your own house.

How about replacing Crusader with Botanist?

Botanists plants are auto vests which take 1 night charge before they take effect and still stay after Botanist dies
Also the BG change makes it so GA and Doc cant save it if it successfully protects someone

Botanist is literally a Trapper which doesn't kill and doesn't have TI abilites and has much better mechanics and is much more fun and fair.. it is basically a nerfed Trapper

Well that's cool for you to think so but the trapper I know secretly traps a Town role then dies.
Then during like the end game where it's I don't know the Trapped medium and the mafioso, town wins.

Doctor
- If a killing role attacks a target healed by a Doctor, instead of "no message" they get the "Your target's defense was too strong to kill!" message. I am alright with this change but will the attacked target still know they are healed?

Bodyguard
- If you successfully protect someone, you cannot be saved in any way meaning you will always die if you successfully protect someone. I LOVE IT. We can finally take away the OP doc/bg combo

Will the NK attack/douse the marshal instead? If not then this would give nks an unfair disadvantage

(Witch controls Escort to rb someone else, then Marshal scares Witch away then Escory role blocks Marshal who then never should havw guarddd Escort meaning Witch controls Escort but then Marshal wouldn’t be role blocked etc)

I don't see Crusader or Trapper being replaced, but if Marshal and Botanist were added as roles, I'd be happy with that.

My understanding is both heal and both plants die.

My understanding is both heal and both plants die.

If multiple people with plants are attacked ON THE SAME NIGHT the plants heal all targts and all of them die.
