So right now the mafioso serves no real purpose but as the gf's puppet. So I wanted to make changes to them that would better suit them in-game.

Godfather no longer has basic defense but instead has none.

The Mafioso however no longer just serves as another killing for the mafia. Instead of being ordered to attack people he instead acts kind of like a mafia crusader. He gains a basic defense and basic attack and is ordered to defend the mafia instead of making hits.

The godfather now has to options, "Attack" or "Bodyguard".

"Attack" means he asks the mafioso to guard him while he kills the target. If the godfather is visited/attacked while he trying to kill someone the mafioso (if he is on guard) will defend him and attack the attacker/visitor (basically, the attacker hits the mafioso instead of the gf and kills the visitor/attacker), if the attacker has a greater attack than the mafioso's defense the mafioso will be killed instead of the gf. But, if the target has a greater attack than him and rampages (WW/plague/juggernaut on n3), they will both be killed.

If the mafioso is attacked, the godfather will still kill the target, but he will no longer have a guard, leaving him open to being attacked. The mafioso attacks the person who attacked him. If the mafioso is visited he does nothing.

"Bodyguard" means the gf orders the mafioso to defend any other mafia member, and he stays home. It works the same as it would with the gf, if they are visited/attacked the mafioso attacks the visitor/attacker and defends them.

If the mafioso is given no orders he can choose who he defends

The mafioso only kills/defends against 1 target, so if two people visit at the same time, the mafioso will only stop one of them.

The mafioso can no longer exist without the gf, so the Mafia killing role always has to be either the ambusher or the godfather.

If the godfather is killed, the mafioso becomes the godfather with basic defense.

If there is no mafioso, the godfather receives basic defense.

-If the mafioso defends a mafia member he will get a message saying, "You defended the [insert mafia member]", the defended mafia member will get a message saying "You were defended by the mafioso."

-If a mafia member is pirated while being guarded, he will still be role blocked but the mafioso will attack the pirate. If the mafia member loses the duel the mafioso will attack the pirate and take the hit, this will count as a plunder.

-If the witch attempts to control a mafia member while they're being guarded the mafioso will attack the witch and instead of controlling the mafia member, the mafia member will be role blocked. If the mafioso attacked the witch while she still had defense it will give a message saying "You defended the [insert mafia member] from a witch", This is the only different defending message the mafioso will receive.

-The mafioso will not protect anyone who isn't mafia, so if he is witched onto someone else nothing will happen.

-The juggernaut is the mafioso's true weakness, if the juggernaut attacks the godfather (being guarded) after his second kill, he will not kill the mafioso but instead blast through him (role block him) and kill the gf regardless. So the juggernaut is a huge threat to the gf. This applies only the godfather, this won't happen to any other guarded mafia members, if they are attacked the mafioso will take the hit and defend them.

-If the mafioso is role blocked he won't attack the role blocker and will be role blocked, but if the mafia member is role blocked while being guarded, the mafioso will kill the role blocker and the mafia member will be role blocked

-If both the mafia member and the mafioso are role blocked, neither role blockers are killed.

-If the mafioso guards the ambusher, the ambusher will still kill the first visitor, but the mafioso will also kill the second visitor, all other visitors will still live but they will still only see the ambusher's name, not the mafioso's. This is unique to the ambusher only.

-If the Arsonist attempts to douse a mafia member while they are being guarded, the mafioso will attack the arsonist and the mafia member won't be doused.

Invest results for Mafioso: (Bodyguard/Veteran/Mafioso)

Invest results for Godfather: (Godfather/Vigilante/Arsonist)
