Role Guard

Role Guard Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Investigative Choice: Night Status: No

A Role Guard is a role that may notify a player of the other roles that targeted them. In effect, they are a Role Watcher that gives their results to their target.

Standard version

Each Night, a Role Guard may notify a player of the other roles that targeted them. If their action succeeds, the Role Guard's target will be given a list of other roles whose night actions had the same target as the Role Guard's target's. Actions taken by a Ninja are ignored for this purpose, and the Role Guard will give the same results as if the Ninja's actions did not occur.

If a Role Guard's action fails, the Role Guard's target will not get a results PM at all. This is different from the result a Role Guard's target would get if the Role Guard was the only one to target them.

Variations

A Security Guard may notify a player of whoever else targeted them.

A Visionary may notify a player of the types of actions that targeted them.
