Additional Information:
- The Ally is not a copy of the survivor. They do not have to live to the end of the game, they just need to survive one attack with their target. The Ally and their target will both receive the same attack value. But this does not mean they will both die or survive. A doctor can save the ally, but their target will die and vice versa.
- Explanation: If you survive a Powerful attack by being healed by a doctor, you ally will not survive because they only have Basic defense unless they are also healed or protected otherwise. Because your ally died, you dont win.

Lore:
- "You value your friends above all else and will live and die with them."
- WIP

The only NBs I've seen done right are the ones that aren't supposed to live for long(e.g. Double, Shade and Phantom from FM) and this has the same problem as ToS's NBs. Surviving to the end of the game is exetremely underwhelming and unimpactful, especially for NBs, and also gives an unneccesary advantage to whoever it decides to side with(similar problems to Survivor, Amnesiac and GA)

The Ally does not need to live for long, they just need themselves and their target to survive one attack together.

Then let it die/leave the town after it completes it goal or something, the other problems still apply. An executioner that lives after it wins is just as unnecessary and unfair(I'd argue Exec/Jester are neither NE or NB but that's unrelated) as an Ally after it wins

I see, could you link me the Double, Shade and Phantom roles? I'd like to check them out.

The Forum Mafia/FM rolecards thread was missing them so I found the rolecards for those roles in games, just search for their names in the rolecard section of the OP
