Additional Information:
I'm considering changing the role to make it where it can only scare off one subalignment each night. For instance, you'd have to choose whether to scare TPs or TIs off of a target if you know that both will be visiting them.

This role seems pretty strong, it assures a mafia kill since you would scare off all TP, LO, also would RB inmune roles be scared away? because if that happens you must have priority 0

This is pretty similar to the Decoy. I like it.

That's why it has 3 charges

I like it. It directly counters Jailor meta while also not being to powerful for Mafia.

This is too powerful in my opinion. It negates all Town visits, and that is the problem. Against Town, this is way too over-powered. It blocks everything, all Town has. It works as a TP from Vigilante and TI, while also preventing TP and Lookouts from doing their job at all. 3 charges doesn't make the ability not over-powered. Combined with this, it's absolutely ineffective against Neutrals. This doesn't only prevent Jailor meta, it makes TP and Lookouts unable to do anything. Compare this to Consort, which is powerful and quite balanced in my opinion. Consort can only direct role block someone, while this role indirectly negates visits. This would be okay, compare this to Mafioso and Ambusher, if it weren't for the fact that this role blocks all visits, and only Town, not even Coven. I don't know why you added the exceptions there, it makes this role entirely Town dependent to be useful. Maybe if it negated one visitor, it would be fine.

I think this role is plenty strong enough without learning how many people were scared off. Not being able to scare of Coven is weird, neutrals is fine.

Other than that it's essentially a Rolestopper

Still being super OP, it has the same problem than a mafia transporter, makes TP and LOs completely useless

[JacksonVirgo]

If you make it a complete rolestopper it should be fine and wouldn't allow scum to use it to indirectly block TPs.

[Notused]

Would be fine if it has one charge and passively roleblocks anybody visiting the Intimidator imo. Or is that too much of a nerf?

[Soulshade55r]

Definitely wouldn't mind this honestly we need a way to say f u to jailord meta

[OreCreeper]

What's the point of TPs with this role then though? Intimidator can just go on whoever the mafia is killing and all the TPs just become completely useless. If it scared off all visits, maybe it could work, because it still prevents the jailor meta from happening (LO will be stopped from seeing visitors on the jailor), but it doesn't make TPs automatically useless by preventing the cheap strat of going on whoever the mafia is killing. Also, rb/control immune visitors shouldn't be scared off, because it might lead to some pretty weird interactions with roles like transporter or witch.

EDIT: So I just saw that this role has 3 charges. I feel like that's still a lot, since it gives mafia 3 guaranteed kills without worry of interference from TPs or lookouts. That means that if any important role ever comes out, they're as good as dead with this role in the game, so it still nerfs TPs a lot.

Just a note, you have to make this control and role block immune for it to scare away controllers and role blockers.
