Guardian

Name : Reality Warper ( Again, I have no idea on what name to choose)
Alignment: Town / Mafia / Benign Neutral
Game Size: Any/All
Abilities: Actions done to the target is redirected at the person doing the action.
Win Condition ( as Benign Neutral) : Survive
Intended Purpose : To have a powerful role that could be a serious game-changer .
Meta Game Implications: Power Roles will have to be even more careful with their actions and their results may be (even) more unreliable..
Possible Cons: May result in unwanted events(I.E vigi shooting self,Sheriff clearing scum,Bus Driver swap adjustment = mafioso shoot self......)
One Sentence Summary : Functions as a bus-driver, but may not decide who will get targeted instead.


Other Notes
The host should consider:

Limiting the number of times the Warper can use his actions.
Forcing the Warper to select different targets every night.
Exactly where the warper's action ranks.
Whether the Warper can Warp himself

Note: Arsonist Burn should penetrate this, Douse should not.

Example of usage:
Framer A is warped.
Sheriff B and Serial Killer C use their abilities on person A (Investigate & Kill)
Sheriff A Investigates himself and receives an "Innocent" result.
Serial Killer C stabs himself.
Nothing occurs to Framer A on that night. (Except being "Confirmed" by the sheriff)

Self target?

Depends on host.

Roles are highly editable...
Even Citizens have been edited. (Usually in SC2 Mafia Games though)

All actions done to the target is redirected at the person doing the action.
Elaborate on this shit please.

Does it redirect every action at only one person who is targeting them at random? Does it redirect each individual action back at it's user?

Why is there a sudden increase in roles that function similar to the lookout? Does the community intend to convert every role into a role that functions like the lookout?

Selfwarp = godmode? Will it make a jailor jail himself? xD

How hard would it have been just to answer me?

As it says right now, every person who targets the person it's targeting is targeted by every action.

No, it cant.
It has limitations.
Such as :
Can't prevent day actions ( Jail is day action, lynch is day)
Cant Prevent Arsonist Burn ( As Burn is self target)

Also, the host can just force this role to select alternate targets every night(I prefer this) / not target self / Limiting amount of times action can be done to 2/3/4

Look at the example now.
I just edited it in.

Satisfied?

Question: in your example, what would happen if a Bus Driver swapped the Sheriff and the Serial Killer? Would the SK attempt to stab himself, but instead kill the Sheriff? Would the Sheriff end up investigating the SK?

Your question requires clarification.
1) Is the Bus Driver swapping the Sheriff to the SK or Vice Versia?

My answer will assume that:
1) Our hypothetical host decided that the RW's action ranks highest, BS ranks next and Sheriff/SK rank equal.
2) Busdriver is swapping SK to Sheriff.

Result:
Sheriff is stabbed.

What happened:
1) The Sheriff, Reality Warper and SK use their powers on the Framer as usual. The Busdriver swaps the SK to the sheriff. ( Initial )
2) The Sheriff Investigates himself.The SK is redirected onto himself. ( Reality Warper )
3) The SK is re-redirected onto the Sheriff. ( Busdriver )
4) The SK attacks/stabs the Sheriff (No other role tries to stop the SK or redirect the SK)
