Town Alignment: Town Protective wouldn’t have guessed 

Attack: None nice

Defense: None

Goal: Lynch all evildoers

Ability: Choose a person every night to Protect and hide from visitors.

Attributes:

- When you Protect Someone, it will cause all visits toward them to fail during that night. Oh ok, this

- You have one self-protection '''does this give you Defense like a vest or self heal, or does it cause visits to fail? (1)'''

Investigator Results: Your target could be a (Spy, Bmer, Jailor, or Protector). Not coven?

Sheriff Results: There is no evidence of wrongdoing, your target seems innocent.

Consigliere Results: Your target likes to Protect people from visitors. They must be a Protector. Also a little basic, but this would be changed if the name changes.

Mechanics:

- If an invest, sheriff, Consig, or Lookout visits a target that is being protected, they will receive the message “Your target was not at home last night!”.

- Any attacks, such as mafia attacks, vig attacks, serial killer and werewolf attacks, will fail of the target is being protected. However, for werewolf, all visitors including yourself will die from the rampage still. That’s not stopping the werewolf, that’s just giving your target powerful Defence, no different to a doctor, which isn’t what the role does

- If a Protector visits a veteran on alert, they will die. '''Yes, because they have higher priority. However, do other visitors die, or are they blocked by the protector (2)'''

- If an Arsonist douses a protected target, they will receive the same message as the TIs. However, if the arso douses the target when not protected, then the arso ignites on the day they are protected, the target will still die.

- You can still be roleblocked from protecting anyone. What if you self protect and they roleblock you?(3)

- If your target is attacked, you will receive the message “Your target was attacked last night!”. For the target, they will see “You were attacked, but someone protected you from the attacker!” Does it say if you normally block someone? I put a number after every question I asked and I’ll say what I think should happen? 1. It should normally block all visitors. 2. All visitors should die, this role should have a priority of 3 because it is a protective role. 3. You should get roleblocked and your self protect fails

There’s also another big problem or question.

What happens when someone visits a protected target.

What I think you said is that for every role that usually gets a message it says they weren’t home. Or does this go for every role. If it doesn’t then people will still know their visit didn’t go through, and if it does, then it instantly confirms this role.

This role should probably give the roleblock message to anyone who visits.

Overall, it’s a nice concept that a lot of people suggest, but it’s hard to make it work without a few problems. This could work with some tweaking.
