Bulletproof
Aliases:
  • Unnightkillable Townie
  • Iron
  • Giant
Alignment: any
Role type:
  • protective
Choice:
  • automatic

A Bulletproof Vest is either an item or an intrinsic protected role that provides immunity to nightkill. The role is extremely powerful if unrestricted, since it can literally create a unkillable confirmed townie that can force a draw upon the scum and does not require any skill to use. Some common 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.
