See, each alignment serves a different purpose and without complete balance of alignments achieved, this is unbalanced. That's all, balance wise, but how can you prevent a jailor who loves to be jailor getting triggered because you turned him into a medium? See the role can be balanced if you convert within alignments, but that's where we get down to the finer details, such as 'fun'. See, you might not lose a win, but you might lose that prized scroll early game. And this, I can safely say, will cause user among players as proven by he Vampires. Possibly on a smaller scale, but it's a similar thing and will prove annoying in practice. Balance wise it can be fixed easily. Apparently nobody read that YOU CAN'T CHANGE UNIQUE ROLES OR CHANGE ROLES INTO UNIQUE ROLES.

Yes, alignments probably would be better, but I don't know yet. This still doesn't nullify my point. Maybe it would've been stronger since unique roles tend to be more powerful, but you're missing my argument.

A Sheriff who loves playing Sheriff might ragequit when he's turned to a Lookout. If it converts within alignments, it's fine balance-wise, but players won't like it. But there's another problem: how would you do it without turning yourself into a semi-consig? This isn't a problem with balance; it's a problem with actual gameplay which has proved this role bad is you take a look at Vampires.
