Base Role
A Jailer's Night Action is one that protects its target from kills, but also Roleblocks its target. Unlike Doctor, Jailer's protection extends to stopping every kill that would resolve on the target by default.
Because it is a combination Doctor and Roleblocker, Jailer has a myriad of uses while not allowing broken combinations or exactly confirming anyone as Town or scum. Thus, it has risen to prominence as a very popular power role.
Because it is a Roleblocker, Jailer is never allowed to self-target.
This role is a non-bastard version of Paranoid Doctor.
Variations
Some Jailers not only protect their target from all kills, but also render its target untargetable by all other actions during that Night. This variant is also known as Alien.
Use and Power
By combining the best of Doctor and Roleblocker, Jailers are always solid mid-level power roles for Town that are safe for combining with other power roles. Mafia Jailers are not unheard of, but overkill for many games as they can generally get by with either a Doctor or a Jailer.
