The Bodyguard is a balanced role, due to the BG dealing a Powerful attack against attackers, while protecting the target. To balance this, the Bodyguard must sacrifice themselves in the process unless they're saved by the Doctor.

Also, the Bodyguard can kill other Townies. They can kill the Vampire Hunter and the Vigilante, due to their visits being considered aggressive to the Bodyguard, which ensures that there is a risk to protecting Townies, which involves getting yourself, and another Townie killed, which can result in a terrible situation.

To balance that, the Bodyguard is granted a bulletproof vest to save themselves from any Basic attack once a game, which of course, is a defense for themselves to use.

On top of that, the Bodyguard isn't unique, so a game with multiple Bodyguards would bring immense power to the Town.

The only thing a Bodyguard can't exactly kill is any role with a defense value of Powerful or Invincible for the night, and the roles with those defenses are limited.

The Bodyguard is and has been a great role that strikes fear into the hearts of evildoers, and your complaint would be a better fit for the.
