Hi. I think it is a cool idea to use the townsfolk as Heros. Great job with all of the abilities. I have a few comments on the above characters. Do whatever you think is right, but I have some suggestions.

Deputy Taylor - I think that the cover fire ability is a little hard to understand. Being able to pick one of two effects seems a little complicated. I would suggest just making it one of them. I also think that the ability to stop the zombie that he fires at from moving would be a cool ability.

Doc Brody - If the Nurse can heal people 100% of the time, I don't think it would be too overpowered to let the Doctor remove feeling strange 100%. I would suggest modeling this one after the nurse and only letting him do this to other Heros though. Not sure why thematically he should be immune to I'm feeling Strange.
-Also, I am confused as to why he should have to give up a move for a 50% chance of a card cancel. Hero abilities in general are not even considered part of the Hero turn in all of the base Heros?

Farmer Stye - I think this ability lets him stop zombies from moving into his square. Is that what you meant? You might just write to let him knock back zombies that actually do move into his square. A little easier to explain I think.

Lizzy - I think she is frankly overpowered (but her Townsfolk card probably is to haha). The pump shotgun is arguably the best weapon in the game. I don't think any hero should start with it. Adding the ability to shoot 2x without the possibility of running out of ammo seems a little much to me.

Principal Gomez - His ability is a little hard to understand. Why the two different dice rules for specific cards? I think making this one rule fits all to streamline is probably a good idea.

T Bone - I don't quite get his Come at me ability. Is this just to let him break ties if zombie hunger could go either way?

Anyways. Great ideas. Thank you for sharing.
