What's the power of a jailkeeper?

I heard it's a protective pro-town role, but I didn't find it in epic mafia wiki.

Jail keeper or Jailer is a role that protects and role blocks whoever they target making them immune to night kills at the cost of their ability to perform night actions.

So, exactly like this?

Thanks!

No that's different. The jailer protects you from kills and prevents you from performing your action that night. It does not matter if there was a lynch or not that day. Furthermore the target does not get to talk to the jailer in any game I have played previously.

I would use the mafiascum.net list. It has all the roles that most mods use on this site.

But yes, it's like a doctor, but it both protects and roleblocks the target instead of just protecting the target.

Thanks safari...I was looking for the right link

Mafiascum it is, then.

Thanks again!

has any mod recently made up a new role that's not on the site list?

Well fircoal likes to include his own roles (kicker, Doc with 40 phds) and there are a lot of variations of roles...I'd have to look up specific examples of roles though before I could give you a straight answer as to which roles.

I have invented roles for my upcoming Pokemon mafia. Check out Sully's NV series for some examples of exotic roles.

Rodion, if I remember rightly, I think Paranoid Doctor is the same as jailkeeper. That's on the mafiascum wiki.

The same except the paranoid doctor doesn't know he blocks the person he protects.

I think the granny is way over rated. How does she keep people form killing her? It doesn't make sense.
Also, I always wanted to mod in a ghost pplayer, one that comes back after being night killed (but not after lynch). Any thoughts about how to balance a role like this?

Well there are bulletproof roles and most of it has to do with what roles you put around it but you could also limit the role like in New Briarsburg I was an actor and I could fake my death the first time I was NKed and come back the next night but could only do so once or have them lose abilities when they do get targeted for night kill (see 00icon in the Matrix mafia. lost his ability to vote after being "lynched"). It also helps to know which roles can be game breaking in a mafia game especially depending on set up so often power roles are not bullet proof and the roles that are don't have any back up abilities or are only conditionally bulletproof.

Yeah, certain roles can work if they're one-shot bulletproof like in Post Apocalypse Mafia. Mafia roles that are bulletproof or unlynchable are seriously overpowered unless there are equally strong town roles.
