Special Abilities

Each night you can choose to guard one player, protecting them from many forms of lethal attacks. If successful the huntsman and the attacker both die.

You must choose a different target each night.

Night immune attackers such as the Vampire do not die when the Huntsman successfully defends their target, but the huntsman still dies.

If multiple attackers try to kill the Huntsman's target, such as a Werewolf and a Maple Wolf they will both die to the Huntsman.

Ability message

When you select your target, you will receive the following message:

Tonight you will guard <AvatarName>

Useful Notes

• Many roles attacks bypass the Huntsman. This includes the roles such as Militia, Zealot, Witch, Necromancer, Witch Hunter and Warlock.
• You can also guard against some items, including the Crossbow and the War Spear.
• If multiple people attack the guarded target, the Huntsman will kill each attacker.
