The Hapless Victim

The Hapless Victim dies in place of any player sitting next to them. This includes lynchings, night attacks and is irrelevant what role the adjacent player has. The Hapless Victim is a Villager, but is unlikely to survive until the end of the game.

The Hapless Victim doesn’t change balance much. But it is slightly in favor of the Werewolves, because could easily they will make the Werewolves much harder to kill. They could protect the special Villagers too, but this is most often less helpful.

The Hapless Victim Variations

 * The Hapless Victim doesn't die if an adjacent player is lynched, only if they are attacked at night.
