just like Traps redirect 1 attack to the trap....but the target has to visit the player to trigger the trap. Player receives no boost to defence stat
Just like Jail redirects all attacks to the jail. ''You were attacked but you were jailed''. Player receives no boost to defence stat
So basically the jailed target is removed from the game board at night (which is why jailing is a day ability) and replaced with a jail cell, which blocks all visitors from using their ability on the jailed target. (GA doesnt visit) (astral visit, is still a visit). Only unstoppable attacks can bypass the jail cell... because, ya know, UNstoppable. Any effects on the player from previous nights arent purged (poison, hexes, douses) and are still in play while the target is ''off the board''.
Well, Unstoppable attack is still an attack. It's a value, and it normally goes through all protection
because protection only gives you Powerful defense. It's a value that is still stopped by an Invincible defense. There really isn't any proof behind, " Ya know, it's has the highest value of attack, so, it should bypass something that negates all visits." There just isn't as much proof as "Jailing literally works like infinite Bodyguards when protecting against attacks, without counterattacking". Plus, in your case, the player is "off the board", so it doesn't matter if it is an Unstoppable attack, it's direct and visiting so it cannot hit someone "off the board". And there is a huge misconception here, Guardian Angel doesn't have an Astral visit, or visit in general. If your target is transported, you won't protect a different player. It's indirect because you will protect your target regardless of jail and transports, unlike Hex Master, the only role with a true Astral visit.

Personally I find the interaction between BG and jailed WW/SK slightly odd, but thats how BMG made it.... BG checks for an attack on his target, and redirects it while attacking the attacker, so its the only powerful attack that bypasses the jail
What do you mean by Lookout won't see it. The jail? Of course you won't see the jailing, but you will still see Werewolf attack a Jailor from the jail, and Jailor doesn't visit their target when executing. Bodyguard is made that way because, in the Serial Killer's case, even if it isn't a visit, it still is a direct attack. Werewolf will visit the Jailor, however, and that works perfectly fine for Bodyguard to counterattack.
