Rolestopper

Rolestopper Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Protective Manipulative Choice: Night

A Rolestopper is a role that can target a player to stop all other Night actions from affecting them in any way. This is something like the inverse of a Roleblocker. A Rolestopper effectively turns their target into an Ascetic Bulletproof for that night.

Rolestoppers can be of any alignment.

Variations

Some Rolestoppers are unable to block kills.

Normal Guidelines

Rolestoppers are considered Normal on mafiascum.net. A Rolestopper cannot block a Strongman from committing a kill, but blocks all other roles from targeting the same person as them. An investigative role targeting the same player as a Rolestopper should be given a "No Result" pm.

Use and Power

Assuming the Rolestopper can block kills, in Town hands it's more or less an improvement on the Doctor, although it foils investigative roles trying to target the Rolestopper's target. In Mafia hands, it's an improvement on the Roleblocker, as Mafiosi can use it on each other to render each other safe from investigative roles. Either way, it's a fairly strong power role; stronger than Jailer.

The version that cannot block kills is as strong for scum but so much weaker for Town that it's almost Negative Utility.
