A Bodyguard can protect at least 1 person before he/she dies, while killing the attacker.

A Doctor can heal at least 1 person before he/she dies.

However, with the fact that Doctors and Bodyguards can survive more than 1 night, means they have more versatility.

It is true, that they cannot protect an unrevealed Mayor, unlike a Bodyguard, but when they end up doing the wrong move, the Bodyguard's backfire is more negatively impactful than a Doctor.

Example:

BG protects SK.

Vigilante random-shoots an SK.

Both BG and Vig die.

Example 2:

Doctor heals SK.

Vigilante random-shoots an SK.

Vigilante wastes a bullet.

So, as you can see here, Town loses 2 votes if a Bodyguard protects an SK, while Town loses none, and even if a Bodyguard protected a fellow Townie and killed an evil role, the Town loses a vote in exchange for an evil role off the field (which can not really affect the game in terms of a Godfather-Mafioso team-up), while the Doctor, if he heals the correct role, will put suspicion on the attacker, and does not make the Town lose any votes.

Also, a Doctor can save someone from a Werewolf and Veteran's attack.

So, yeah, I didn't really spend some time and thought this through, but whatevs, that's what I came up with.
