Exactly, but this could be beneficial if the Mafia used a Janitor that night. I think the inability to kill the role it's pretending to be might be a bit broken as I think about it, it would be too UP. It makes sense that when cloning the kill, it would kill like it, so ma ybe have the role be able to break NI if cloned role can?

What if, instead of having to guess who will die, they get a day selection of the people who died the previous night and copy their deaths? It'd still have a delay, and would often be able to clone only Mafias, TKs, and suicides, but it'd still be moderately concealed. In this case, they'd also, due to Any or Custom, be able to clone WW kills. Jailor and WW cloning would mean every night an NK breaks through Night Immunity to kill, which is pretty OP, although rare to have the Copycat and WW, and Jailors are glad someone else can kill the GF. I think if it cloned WW, it should only be able to kill on Full Moons, just to balance and prevent an every-night WW.

Jailor cloning would be especially useful if you kill and clean the jailor, so you could be a role that could effectively claim Jailor, even writing it in your death note to verify yourself.

If copying the Arsonist, would it be able to select targets, or would it just ignite every night? That could make it balanced, as it would have no way of not killing itself.

The main purpose of the Copycat is, in general, to be a killing role that obscures its presence and hides under the guise of Jester or as a Town Killing [primarily by duplicating one such kill, and minimizing its usage].
