The Guardian protects the town. When there are 15 or fewer players, the Guardian may choose one player. This player cannot be killed by attacks during the current night. When there are more than 15 players, they may choose up to two.

The Guardian chooses their protected player(s) during the night, and they will be protected from attacks during the current night. They may not protect a player who was protected by a Guardian in the previous night, but may protect themself and/or alternate between two or more players. Any attack against a player protected by the Guardian fails, however a protected player may still die through other means. The Guardian is elected on the first full day with a living Mayor, a living Reporter and no living Guardian. Protecting players from attacks is an immediate effect. The Guardian may resign at the end of any phase. The Guardian gains an additional secret channel, which is reused for any subsequent Guardians.

Each night, the Hooker sleeps with another player. They will not be killed by attacks on them, but will be affected by those taking place at their target’s house.

Since the Hooker is at the other player’s house and not at home, any attacks targeting the Hooker in the night will fail; however, if the person they’re sleeping over at is being attacked, then they both are attacked. Choosing a player to sleep with is an immediate ability. From that point on, they will stay with that player for the rest of the night. The Hooker may also choose not to sleep with anybody. The Hooker may not sleep with the same player two nights in a row.
