 * - it's normally much weaker than Bodyguard in classic, however, it is buffed in Coven and becomes just as good as Bodyguard. It can cure poison from a, whilst a Bodyguard cannot. Additionally, it can heal the astral attacks of the with the necronomicon whilst it bypasses a Bodyguard's protection, and whilst Bodyguard dies guarding someone against the  when it has the necronomicon and fires a ghoul, but does not actually kill the Necromancer, Doctor heals the target without dying.


 * - in Classic it could not do much. But in the coven expansion, it can find out who the is if it asks someone who visited them without being controlled, or find out who the  is by asking anyone who was killed by an Ambusher.


 * - was quite weak in Classic especially since any could claim Escort, but in default Coven games there cannot be a Consort and hence Escorts are confirmed almost straight away. Furthermore, the Escort could not stop both the /, hence it would have a hard time stopping Mafia from killing. However, it can role block, ,  and  preventing them from killing, especially if they have the necronomicon.
