F.A.Q.
Woah, did orange just make a role?
Yeah, sure, kinda. Not like a Marshall is the world's newest concept though. Plus, this is a role idea driven by a suggestion to improve game balance.
So this looks like the Marshall from Forum Mafia. What's up with that?
It's almost an exact copy, except it scares of Vampires first (FM has no Vampires) and can actually scare off Mafia Support roles if nothing else is happening to the target.
This seems less powerful than a Doctor, because it can only scare off a killer if nothing else bad is happening to the target.
That's where you're wrong. This role assumes that Doctor will be nerfed to be unable to visit the same target two nights in a row unless the Doctor successfully healed them. The Hunter will be able to protect a target every night, and can also scare off other bad roles on nights when the target is not being killed. In addition, the Hunter currently has no limits on the amount of times it can protect itself.
Why is this paired with Vigilante and Mafioso when investigated?
Mafioso is in every game and needs more claimspace.
What is the main purpose of this role?
It will help to bring balance to the Town Protective alignment while being a strong role on its own. It all works out nicely.
What is this suggestion that the role is a part of?
My Whisper System Overhaul.
Can this role stand on its own, apart from the Whisper System Overhaul?
As it is a better and much more balanced Vampire Hunter replacement, yes it can.

Discuss.

Problem: we're trying to stay relatively close to the Kickstarter promises on Vampire Hunter here.
