Is there a reason Masonizer isn’t whitelisted? Masons are whitelisted and Loyal Neighborizer, which is extremely close to Masonizer, is a legal combo. Personally I’d like to see Masonizer used more in games.

By opposite do you mean a role that knows what action it was targeted with but not who did it, or a role like Ninja that can’t be Tracked?

Would forcing a player to take an action (via a power role capable of doing so) when they otherwise wouldn't take an action be a normal role?

That’s basically what Captain does, unless you’re talking about a role that could even make VT’s do something.

They’re not Normal and it’s probably best to keep it that way so people can be in control of their own actions. Theme games could make them work in a fun way though.

I mean, are redirectors normal?
Are roleblockers/jailkeepers normal?

Also, I was thinking that the role could force a player to take an action if they did no action, and could choose the target since there would be no target. (Any role which has no night action would become a 1-shot visitor for that night.)

Redirectors are explicitly non-Normal.

Roleblocker and Jailkeeper are normal but they don’t take away your ability to actually choose your target, they just affect whether your actions get through.

Also, I was thinking that the role could force a player to take an action if they did no action, and could choose the target since there would be no target. (Any role which has no night action would become a 1-shot visitor for that night.)

So let’s say there’s an Even-Night Tracker. Would this new role be able to make them Track someone on Odd Nights? What if the other role is x-shot and has no more shots?

Would there be any practical use for that interaction with the VTs?
