Attack - Basic

Defense - None

Good, no night immune town.

Abilities - You may choose one person during the day to play music to at night. If they interrupt your serenade you may choose to attack them

Attributes - You may not talk to your target. You may attack your target if they chat.

Seems good, doesn't infring on Night Chat Town rules in my opinion because Jailor can do this too.

The bard doesn't roleblock targets nor block them from other chats. The bard will not receive a message if their target is jailed but will still play music to them. They will hear what the detained says but can't attack them (jailed have powerful defense anyway). Serenading sk or ww during full moon will cause them to attack the bard. Seems good.

Edit: 

Ok I see this needs more explanation.

The targets can chat to the bard. That is how they interrupt. A townie will want to say a few things to a confirmed townie. They can give their role and useful info. "I am escort and will block 4 tonight' or 'I am jailor here is my will.'

This role cannot kill indiscriminately as it requires the target to chat to them. This makes it pretty restrained. For example, the bard can't attack confirmed evils as they'll remain quiet. This makes the role almost useless in very late game where a vig would be better.

If someone doesn't respond during the night a  bard can say so during day, c asting suspicion on the target. This makes it a possible claim for exe/jester.

Gamethrowing won't be a bigger issue than other tk roles. As said they can't attack without a target speaking to them. If the bard kills 1-2 town, then future targets can just not speak and during the day say they didn't speak because they don't trust the bard's judgment. This'll be to the benefit of evils who don't want to claim a role.

If the alignment were changed to neutral then there would be no reason for town to talk to the bard. Also there is the question of what the bard's victory condition would be.

I'm thinking investigative results should be vig/vet/bard/maf. Yup, seems good in my opinion. Pretty sure the investigatior results are good. Heres a suggestion for Consig/Witch results: Your target is a talented musician, they must be a Bard!
