First I'd like to address the fact that Mafia Protectives tend to be a bad idea. If it's protective in the fakeclaim kind of way, it's fine. But literal protection doesn't work. See, Mafia is an aggressive faction and roles that protect don't fit in. It would pretty much nullify the Vigilante if they both rolled... Unless there is a more creative way of literal protection that I can't think of. Generally, protecting Mafia is not a good idea.

Also, Mafia does not need more killing. With the addition of Ambusher, Mafia already has too many Killing roles. With a possible 2KPN (swingy, but possible) from Mafia alone, it is stipidly overpowered. Having a possible 3KPN with NK included means that by n2-3 Town would lose majority. We do not need any more NKs.

This role relies heavily on RNG, making the role horribly unpredictable and swingy. When you have this kind of percentage thing, it generally doesn't work.

You have also messed up the alignment. It should be MK, not MS, because it can kill. Alright thank you i will revise and repost it with both yours and lazuli's recommendations
