Bodyguard

The Bodyguard is a role in the Town of Salem Card Game, as well as the Online game.

It features the ability of protecting someone at night, and killing the attacker while doing so.

Mechanics

 * Every night, you may choose a player to guard. If that person was attacked, you will kill the attacker, but sacrificing yourself in turn. You can survive if a doctor cures you.(You will protect your Target ALWAYS, No matter who the attacker is.)You only protect, from an attacker, if your target is attacked by two attack sources, you will randomly neutralize one of them and the other will attack your target.
 * Applicable variants;
 * The Doctor, Can't Save You From Dying Yes, You Die Saving Someone.

Strategies

 * If you and a Doctor know each other's roles and trust each other, it is a smart idea to team up with the Doctor. This would mean that you, as a Bodyguard may guard a target and have their attacker killed without you dying. This can be really useful in eliminating evil roles such as the Mafia and Serial Killers and Werewolfs.
 * If you are doing this strategy, make sure you pay attention to what other players are saying - they may have a player suspected to be an Evil role, and you might accidentally guard them. This may lead to the death of an innocent Vigilante, who will probably get killed if he attacks the suspected player.
