Why does the bg not kill the attacker? What good is the bodyguard anyway?

A bodyguard is a weaker form of the doctor. The bodyguard is good for redirecting the nightkill and protecting outed power roles and good town analyzers.

(Poriomania goes into mafia theory mode)

The reason why my bodyguards are different is because I feel as though the "Elite Bodyguard" (kills its attacker) is significantly stronger than the normal bodyguard. I feel as though it's extremely damaging to whoever performs the kill and especially cruel to Neutral Killers in particular, who have to take a leap of faith every time they kill.

I feel like a more similar role to the "Elite Bodyguard" is a lookout.

Check it out - both the EB and lookout target Player A. The Serial Killer also targets Player A.

He works similarly - while the "Elite Bodyguard" simply kills the SK, the lookout sees the SK visit Player A, and the town has more discussion, as well as giving Player A a potential way to avoid the lynch by falseclaiming. It's simply more dynamic.

EDIT: Made some changes to the roles and added a Sheriff.
