Addfire. Look at the title. We aren't debating about who's more balanced. Who is more powerful is the question.

Without question, BG is more powerful than Doctor. In practise, how often do yuo actually heal someone? A 1-for-1 trade involving a majority will ALWAYS be better for the majority. It has the ability to protect nightly, but does it ever really protect nightly? Your argument is horribly biased towards Doctor - here's how I see it

BG

-Can protect once (maybe twice if retri)

-Produces a 1-for-1 trade with a minority and a majority.

-Can protect anyone

-Kills scum

-Does pretty extreme harm to NK. Say it kills NK, the KPN might be HALVED. You're forgetting that an SK's KPN contributes HUGELY to Mafia's wins.

So @Addfire, it's not max 1 successful protection at all, since Retri can role in TS. It has a 25% chance of rolling in TS and can role in RT. It isn't as rare as you may think.

'''The fact that Doctor can protect multiple times does make it on par with BG, but in play, Doctor rarely manages to protect people. It's more of a safety net role.'''

The BG is actively aggressive against other factions and poses a huge threat to Mafia and especially NKs. It may not be balanced, but it's much more powerful.
