Lifelink

Lifelink Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Protective Choice: none

A role with Lifelink may choose to protect themself from kills once in the game assuming another ability of theirs succeeds (i.e. isn't blocked, protected from, or otherwise failed). Lifelink can and must be used with another ability even without Multitasking.

Standard version

A role with Lifelink has a 1-shot ability linked to the attached role (that can only be used with the attached role and can be used as such without multitasking) to protect themself from kills if the attached role succeeds. That is, Lifelink is dependent on the attached role succeeding.

Variations

Lifelink could be an unlimited use ability, however Bulletproof should be used instead unless you need the complex interaction.

Use & Balance

Lifelink is a weaker form of 1-shot Activated Bulletproof intended for use in games with complex interactions.
