And here’s another issue: It’s a bit redundant since we already have physician for dealing with attackers. Heal is better than defend overall. Sure, defend can kill attackers, but it only works twice, only affects visitors, and doesn’t protect against poison/bleed. We should only have one main class for protecting against attackers.
Smite would be even worse without the lock.
I agree. I don’t like the lock but I think it should stay unless a better solution is found.
Paladin is already a boring class.
I think Paladin is fun because of Smite.
What about yolo smites?
Yolo smites are unlikely to work, if by yolo you mean random.
At the very least it shouldn’t affect both the paladin and their target.
I think it used to be like that, but was changed probably because all Paladins only ever used it on themselves. And it wasn’t fun to smite someone only to get converted yourself.
It can kill the CL without you even knowing who the CL is. You shouldn’t be able to kill scum like that.
I think it would be worth considering forcing the Paladin to correctly identify the Cult Leader in order to kill him with Smite. But I do think Smite is very low on the list of abilities that need changing. I would rather Maid Spy be reverted but usable on King.
They’re unlikely, but still annoying when they do work.
There’s nothing wrong with paladins using it only on themselves. They risk a more important BD member being converted.
That added to the risk in using it. Right now there is no risk at all. At least with defend and bear possessor can trick them.
Yeah, that’s why I think it’s overpowered. They can kill the CL without even knowing who they are. It can’t even affect BD.
Agreed, the new maid spy discourages whispering too much. And the old maid spy wasn’t really that bad, it just needed to work like sheriff’s scout(meaning it remains until you change targets)

That would be rare though. Usually only a few people visit a player during the first few nights. It would be like circle of death.
That would be throwing though, as by saying “protect me” you’re encouraging BD to protect you. And that can already happen with CoD. Hunter is unique as well
The point is that it is negative utility. You are more likely to kill BD than Scum with it. Hell with 1 use he may as well be a citizen
