Summary: You are a night security guard who looks out for danger.

Attack: None

Defense: None

Abilities:

- Watch someone's house each night.

Attributes:

- If your target gets a malicious visit (Roleblocks, Controlling, Attacks, Hexing, Dousing, Infecting, anything that is considered harmful), you will escort your target out of their house.

- You will see all malicious visit roles to your target.

Mechanics:

- If your target gets a harmful visit, you will escort your target out of their house. They will know this. Additionally, all visitors will have their abillities lose affect with the message "Your target was missing from their house. They were escorted by a Watchman!"

- You will see any malicious role visits to your target if they are escorted.

Investigation Results:

- Sheriff: Innocent.

- Investigator: Your target could be a Lookout, Forger, Witch/Coven Leader, or Watchman. (I am very fond of this result for some reason i dont know why).

- Consigliere: Your target watches for danger for a living. They must be a Watchman!

Strategies:

- You should watch important townies, but not on the first night, as escorts may try to confirm themselves by visiting your target. If they do, you will escort your target out of the house preventing any RT TP Lookouts or Spies from confirming themselves. However, you can do this if you just plan in confirming yourself and the Escort.

- If you suspect that someone may be repeatedly blackmailed, roleblocked by a consort, et cetera, you can go on them, stopping the endless cycle. It will also confirm if that role is in the game or not or if your target is faking.

- You can go on the Jailor and make any RT TP go on you because you cannot protect yourself.

- If you suspect that an important townie may be at risk of being target by a potention arsonist or hex master, you can go on them, forcing those two roles to waste a night, which can be devastating as those roles struggle most with time, and even a night's delay can cost them the game.

- An interesting path to go would be to use this role as an Investigative rather than a Protective. You can easily tell the difference between Consort and Escort, a genuine blackmailed person vs a person faking, same with Framer, etc. and you can do this with much more confidence than the spy, who can only see mafia visits but cannot tell the mafia role that visited said target.
