1. It's meant to take out roles that BG can't, like Consort or Witch. Also, "attacking those who attempt to do them harm" is based purely on luck. Plus, it does its job even worse, since it doesn't even protect from the roles it's supposed to kill (doesn't give its target roleblock immunity, control immunity, whatever), which means it's protecting from something it's not even supposed to deal with. That's the Doctor's job.

2. Correct, but it does a spectacularly bad job most of the time because of the RNG. If it had a priority system then it would be okay, but then just a rehash of a Doctor. Still bad design.

3. It's still annoying, which means that once it's revealed, it's gonna be a target for evils. And it can't protect itself.

4. Don't see how any of this proves it "doesn't need a defense system".

5. Doctors don't kill members of their own faction. Doctors don't rely on luck. Crusader is a swingier version of a Doctor that usually leans toward being bad.

PS. Not dying is bad for the Town considering the chances of the Crus murdering another townie. Or two.

Crusader can actually be fixed while still not being a Doctor rehash. Just remove its Powerful protection, give it a priority system for who to attack, and make it protect from effects like roleblocking or witching. Then it's actually doing what it's supposed to do.
