Poison Doctor
|
A Poison Doctor is a role that prevents players from being affected by poison. In games where there is no Poisoner, it is a Named Townie.
Poison Doctor is usually Town-aligned.
Standard version
Usually, but not quite always, the Poison Doctor's action only works on the Night that the Poisoner targets its victim. Check with the moderator if you are unsure.
Aside from the notion of saving a player from an impending kill, Poison Doctor bears no relation to Doctor.
Variations
A Poisoner may prevent a player from dying due to poison instead of or in addition to protecting a player from poison.
Use & Balance
Because it only protects against a single type of kill that does not manifest itself immediately, Poison Doctor is slightly weaker than Firefighter, which is noticeably weaker than Doctor.
