Only works if they jail themself (proven by witch), which is impossible.

Pretty fun idea. It's like a temporary escort that doesn't die to SK and makes WW easier to catch.

Except this doesn't control people.

It directly force-feeds their night action back at them.

So a Jailor will execute themself.

Wait, there's a contradiction in your post.
Specifically: "they use their current ability on themselves. (If Maf shoots, Mafioso kills himself)"

Does this ability only work if the target uses their ability that night?
...or does this force people to use their ability?
This time, i'm asking the creator.

(Also, can Jailor execute themself?)

Unless the OP changes it, Attributes>Example.

So no, yes, and yes, respectively (again, unless the OP changes it).

Jailor cant execute themself. Think of witch, witch is RB'd while in jail, because if they wernt they could control the jailor to not kill them. Every role is RB'd in jail.

I like it a lot. It's useful and powerful, but also limited so there must be a strategy involved. It seems like a nice addition to ToS. I would like to suggest some special interaction with the Werewolf. It just sounds like a good idea to me.

Dat would be me. I can confirm I came up with this in one of my videos over the course of BSing my way through filling time. (Though I limited it to about three uses and wasn't entirely serious.)

I'd link the video, but last time I did that it was considered self-promotion. If anyone wants it I can probably PM it if you ask for it first.

Well with mimic you could say that you are displaying the same thing back to the target. Reverser sounds meh. Boomerang is an object and not a person, but would work perfectly with the role.

It's not a problem, I was just surprised more than anything else. XD



If people want this to actually be a legit role, here are some name thoughts...

"Poet" - There's a common term, "Poetic Justice", for bringing something back on someone.
"Diversion" - Since you divert their activity back to them, also what you'd call someone who diverts attention, etc. IRL.
"Clown" - Essentially, you're ruining their plans and making a fool of them.
"Hexer" - Causing your efforts to turn back on you, etc. pretty self-explanatory.
"Echo" - Again, self-explanatory.
"Retaliator" - May not fit with bringing good things back to people.
"Delivery Boy" - Here's the bullet you lost, sir!
"Courier" - Same as above.


Personally I'd go with Courier and the description: "You are a delivery boy who returns things to others."
