Lore:

The Projector was an average villager before he began having out of body experiences at night. He was unsure what caused this, so he consulted the Medium, though she was unable to help him. He then asked the Psychic what was happening, who explained that he was having bouts of etheric projection. Rather than live in fear about his defenselessness, he instead tried to do whatever he could to survive.

Additional Notes:

-While giving the Projector roleblock immunity could make sense practically, I feel that it would be too overpowered.
-I initially made it so that you would reveal that you are the Projector to your target if they attacked you, though I scrapped it because I felt that it would also be too overpowered. Revealing oneself is a bit too strong of a tool with an attacker as a Neutral Benign, at least to me.
-There will definitely be situations where you don't want the protection, and the same goes with revealing any sort of information to other factions, though we all know that much.
-My main goal was to make this balanced, hectic, and as close to a true Neutral Benign as I could get.
-I know it's a bit of a glorified Survivor, but I wanted to make it a bit more interactive, uncertain, and dynamic at night.

Edits:

1. Fixed the Ability and Attributes descriptions. (9/16/19 5:30 PM)
2. Changed the Attacking/Protecting visits to only reveal information to the Projector's target if their target visits them. (9/16/19 10:00 PM)
3. Tweaked the attributes to add Town Protective to the first classification. This changes it so that if the Projector is visited by their target, and that target is a Town Protective, they are only informed that there is a Projector, rather than telling them that you are the Projector. A similar thing has been done with Town Investigative being relegated to the category with the Support roles. lowering the number of categories from five to three. Notifications have been changed to reflect this. (9/17/19 3:30 AM)

The abilities should be a one line 'blurb' of what your role does. Attributes lists details. You have the two swapped.

Also I am a bit iffy with the whole self-confirming thing for a Neutral Benign. I also thinking Amne should be silent but that's me. Otherwise I think I like it, may be too similar to Survivor but you already made that point so Ima leave it here.

I fixed the ability and attributes part, thanks for letting me know. As for confirming when visiting neutral benign, I didn't want to separate Amnesiac from Guardian Angel and Survivor, as it'd make things a bit convoluted, but I do get where you're coming from there. I may change it so that Neutral Benigns are treated like Mafia Support and the likes, but I'd like to get more opinions on that first. It's something I wasn't 100% sure about, so I just left it. Thanks for reading it over and giving me some insight though, I really appreciate that.

I think the worst part of the self-confirming that this role does is notifying its target that there is a Projector in the game. It's fine that if an Investigator and Projector mutually visit each other, the Investigator knows for sure that they visited a Projecter, but other than that the Projector's visits shouldn't produce any message.

I also don't like arbitrary lists of "do X if you visit Y role". To make it less arbitrary, the effect of its action should be described in a simple phrase, such as: "use your target's own ability on themselves". (Followed by a list of clarifications, yes, but the principle behind the results should be a simple phrase.)

I get why you feel that way, such lists typically make things more complicated than they should be in ToS, but that's why I didn't use the target's ability. I originally intended to do that, but at that point, it'd be more like a Neutral Chaos than a Neutral Benign, and it'd be a completely different role altogether.

If I think of better ideas, I'll modify what visits do, as I also don't quite like that it confirms a Projector's existence for everyone. At the very least, I'm thinking of modifying how it works with Protective roles. I appreciate your feedback though, and I'll keep it in mind when it comes to making changes.

It is a tad convoluted, maybe a bit too much. Maybe change it a small bit so it is less of a 'do x if you do y' role.

I changed it so that Town Protective and Town Investigative fit into the first and second category respectively, reducing the amount of categories overall and making it so that having a mutual visit between a Projector and Town Protective/Investigative only reveals that there is a Projector. I feel like reducing the options further might be a bit overkill, and that it might take away from the identity of the role as well.

I realized now that if you're in the first category, and you're told that there is a Projector, it's likely who you visited- though this is not only unlikely, but it is at the mercy of the Transporter, Hypnotist, Witch/Coven Leader, etc., so it's not too powerful.
