I wouldn't put a lynchproof townie in a open roles game, unless there was also at least one BG role that could survive the first lynch. No sense giving the town a confrimed GG for free.

Two docs can be a real balance issue, if they can protect each other. For example, a 2 doc+2 scum endgame is a draw, which means that if there are two outed docs, and a situation where they've played well enough so that they won't be lynched, the scum would be in a position where they can not possibly win once they're down to 2 scum members, which could happen on day 1.

Well, that's true as well, but two docs protecting each other can be a problem much earlier then two vigs or two roleblockers.

You're right, there are ways for the scum to get around it; still, it might be better if instead of saying "docs can not protect themselves", just say "any attempt to protect a docter will fail".
