That wouldn't be a different type of Consort. If anything, the Crusader is like a Consort from that definition since it blocks an attacker. It uses the roleblock mechanic but it's not a Consort.

Ambusher is an unreliable way to get more kills and BMG already says they'd prefer Mafia with a KPN of one

Consigliere was made unique because the Mafia could gain the ability to reveal two people in a night. First-handed experience tells me that it's a bit OP (1) I don't see it like that.

(2) Then why would they add it? A bit strange.

(3) We could say that any combo of powerful Mafia is OP, like a Janitor and Consort together. That doesn't mean we should forbid it. The Consigliere isn't even that overpowered; many players can correctly guess a player's role or power based on how they speak. 1) Consort is desgined to block one person of their choice. The newer ambusher doesn't know who they are blocking. It's like how the Crusader isn't like the Vigilante, despite the fact that they have the same mechanics of killing

2) Their choice man not mine

3) The Consigliere is powerful. Not overpowered. Finding Serial Killers instantly is not unique to the Consigliere. However, finding anybody's role is strong. Not overpowered. First-hand experience tells me that with two or three Consiglieres, the Mafia is stupidly OP
