You mean how doctor is way better and the only thing Crusader has going for it is that it's a doctor that can heal the mayor?


 * Name: Knight
 * Alignment: Town Protective
 * Summary: You are an aggressive guard who paralyses his unlucky victims.
 * Mechanics:
 * You can choose to defend someone each night.

As it should as it's a TP


 * If your target is attacked you will provide powerful defence to your target against that attack. You will injure your target for the following night and will be injured yourself, for the following night.

Sounds similar to a bodyguard alright, except weaker.


 * Injuries:
 * When someone is injured the following will occur:
 * All roles with defence will lose their defence for the following night only. For example, if a Serial Killer is injured and then is shot by a Vigilante, he will die. The roles will gain their defence back when they are no longer injured.

'''And you made a nerfed bodyguard. Yay, because we need nerfed versions of the TP that exist.'''


 * All attacking roles will not be able to attack for that night, or perform any other abilities they have.

Then you might as well s**t on every killing role that exist.


 * A Potion Master will not be able to use any potions nor brew any potions; the cool down for potions will be paused.

Why not just say "Roleblocked" with the cooldown pause.


 * A Werewolf who is injured will lose their defence the following night. The next full moon they will gain their defence back but will not not be able to rampage and will not stay home and rampage, either. If they are role blocked or jailed they will not attack the role blocker.

Well might as well s--t on the werewolf entirely and make him a slower killer than the arsonist.


 * A Serial Killer who is injured will not attack the role blocker if they are role blocked or jailed.

Oh no the poor SK.


 * An Arsonist who is injured will not be able to douse or ignite.

That's basically a roleblock.


 * A Pirate who is injured will not be able to use his Day Ability.

Eh doesn't really effect the pirate.


 * When the Knight is injured, he will not be able to defend anyone.

Nerfed BG again!


 * You cannot be injured if you were healed by a Doctor, protected by a Crusader or healed by the Guardian Angel.

You are making the crusader actually sound useful...


 * Messages to receive:
 * You were injured by a Knight! - trying to attack someone who is being defended by a Knight
 * You were injured protecting your target! - defending someone as Knight who is attacked
 * You were attacked but someone injured your attacker before they could get to you! - the message the target gets when a Knight protects them
 * You were injured but someone nursed you back to health! - getting injured but healed by a Doctor/Potion Master on the same night
 * You were injured but someone protected you! - getting injured but protected by a Crusader on the same night.
 * You were injured but your Guardian Angel saved you! - getting injured but healed by your Guardian Angel on the same night.

Sherrif: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target could be a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Knight or Guardian Angel.

Witch/Coven Leader/Consigliere: Your target paralyses his victims. He must be a Knight.

Final notes:

You nerf the werewolf hard by weakening the kills they get, werewolf having to wait 4 NIGHTS to get a kill.

The SK getting injured feels more of a buff for it, allowing it to act like it's been "roleblocked"

This does not stop mafia as both the Mafioso and godfather can attack, stopping one only makes the other mafia member attack.

You didn't explain what happens with most other coven members when attacking, so I have no idea if this is useful against coven or not.

I'm confused on whenever the crusader or this role is more UP.

But overall, you made yourself a nerfed bodyguard clone, which means you basically created another crusader.
