You are a promoted bodyguard that works with the mayor

Alignment: Town Protective''' a TP role? Hard alignment tbh, it's not easy to find a way to make it not too much of an existing role rehash.'''

Attack: Powerful Defense: None cool

Non-Unique.

Abilities: At night you choose somebody to protect. That person gets a basic defense. You will attack all dangerous visitors who come to kill that target. You do die guarding somebody though. You can put on a bulletproof vest 3 times which grants you basic defense.

'''Im sorry, but over here it starts to sound like a bg rehash? I dont know if I got it mixed up, if I misinterpreted it, please do explain to me.'''

Attributes: You may talk to the mayor or the sheriff at night but your names will be hidden. You are unable to tell them your name and vice versa. If you protect a WW or Pestilence you will die. You cannot kill a Witch/Coven Leader. If the mayor reveals you will know their name and you can say yours.

I have one question now:

'''What if you just hint at your name? Like if you use initials or if you say your number?'''

Investigator: Your target is BodyGuard,Godfather,Arsonist,Crusader,Secret Service

good job you nailed the invest results

Sheriff: Your target is Not Suspicious

of course

Consig,Witch,CL: Your target is working to protect people under the Mayor's Orders. They must be part of the Secret Service.

cool 

Extra stuff: There can only be 2 per game and amne can remember them.

'''This is a unique idea! I like it! So it's like semi-unique, cool!'''

Suggestions are welcome. Ok, this is ok since TP is hard, I know, but here's some problems.

1. The not being able to say your name thing can be easily worked around by hinting towards who you are, like a blackmailed person can hint that they are blackmailed by repeatedly voting and unvoting someone.

2. This is like a BG re-hash but more powerful.

3. Why can you talk to Sheriff? This makes sheriffs confirmed easier, and a confirmed sheriff is generally too overpowered for town this early in the game.

4. There is a lot of buffing and nerfing specific roles here, which is usually not encouraged. I would suggest making it more "categorical" rather than "specific".

5. 3 vests is too overpowered, this makes evils less tempted to go for you, so you are basically protecting yourself and your target at the same time (evils can't afford to waste a kill night in many cases).
