The Martyr

The Martyr is a Villager who may sacrifice themselves in the place of a player being lynched. The Martyr must announce that they are taking the place of the person lynched before the role card is revealed.

The Martyr changes the balance only slightly in favor of the Villagers. The Martyr is only truly effective if they are to give up their life in exchange for the Seer or other powerful Villager role. They don't have any concrete way to gather this information, so they are unlikely to be able to do that.

The Martyr Variations

 * The Martyr may sacrifice themselves at the end of a night phase in place of any dying character.
