What does the mod add?
Medic
Team: Crewmates
The Medic can give any player a shield that will make them immortal. Although, if The Medic dies, the shield will break. The only exception is The Officer; they will still die if they try to kill a Crewmate. The Medic's other feature shows when they find a corpse: they can get a report that contains clues to the killer's identity. The type of information they get is based on a timer that can be configured inside the lobby.
