Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-32942597-20171201043334/@comment-33824162-20171201050635

Very nice idea you constructed. I agree that it will get rejected and here's why.

This is basically a rework of the crusader, because the crusader gives powerful defense to someone every night and also kills the attacker.

The guardsman can give powerful defense for someone every two nights, which is a slower version of the crusader. Instead of killing the attacker like the crusader does, it roleblocks the victim instead. What if you need to protect an important town role such as the jailor? Roleblocking him doesn't seem like a good decision.

The last stand ability pretty much acts like bodyguard mechanics, but it is very hard to predict if the person you have protected will get attacked that night.

In conclusion, this role just serves as a more annoying version of a crusader, bodyguard, and escort all in one that doesn't benefit the town.

Everyone appreciates how you took the time to create a role, so don't feel down or embarrassed on a role you made. Keep trying. I would reject this role.
