VIP

VIP Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Killing Protective Choice: Night

A VIP is a role who can target a player at Night to have them take a kill for the VIP (effectively making them a Bodyguard targeting the VIP). They effectively can use other players as human shields.

Standard version

A VIP, if targeted by a non-Strongman kill, will kill their target. A VIP will also protect themself from a single kill.

Variations

Bodyguard is the inverse of this role, a Bodyguard will take a kill for their target.

Use & Balance

A VIP is effectively an easily confirmable Bulletproof conditional Vigilante. It is therefore a very strong role.
