Bulletproof
Alias:
  • Unnightkillable Townie
Alignment:
Role type:
  • Protective
Choice: none

A Bulletproof Vest is either a role that cannot be nightkilled, or an item that provides immunity to nightkill. The role is powerful if unrestricted, since it can create an unkillable confirmed townie.


Some ways to make it less powerful include:

  • limit the number of uses;
  • immunity to gunshots may not provide immunity to Serial Killers, since they use non-traditional killing methods;
  • remove the immunity in a 1-1 endgame situation, since the townie lacks any way to prevent the Goon from walking up and shooting them "in the head" (the role is entirely passive);
  • give the Mafia a role which can invalidate protection, such as a Strongman;
  • do not count as town for purpose of the Mafia win;


Bulletproof townies may drop intentional Cops or Doc Tells, since it benefits them to try to draw the attack overnight. This creates a WIFOM situation for scum, if they know such a role exists.
