Murder By The Book - Ender's Game

Also! Mechanicswise, there are plenty of roles which will redirect night actions.

Lightningrods draw all night actions, or sometimes a specific subset of night actions (e.g. kills). You could either have a player who is a lightningrod and gets the opportunity once per game to activate themselves, or you could have a cackling douchebag who can turn other people into lightningrods.

Nexuses deflect night actions, by contrast. The action basically "bounces off" onto another player at random. Lots of variants exist; you can have someone who is told they're a nexus and can switch it on and off, nexuses who only "bounce" particular night actions, nexuses who can choose where their night actions go. Nexuses are rarer because of the RNG aspect, but they do exist.

Busdrivers can choose two players. If Player A was targeted with a night kill and Player B was targeted by a cop and both of them were busdriven, then Player B dies and the Cop will be told that Player B's alignment is (actually whatever Player A's was).

Sometimes a busdriver can also mean "choose players A and C. If A targets B and C targets D, then instead A will target D and C will target B." or "choose players A and B. If A has a night action, it hits B instead." These are usually called other, inconsistent names, like Redirector or Deflector. There's no gold standard for what these words mean in Mafialand, so the best thing to do is just explain the ability upfront.

So, yeah. Mechanically, I think Slorange's role sounds plausible. I should actually get to scumhunting at some point instead of all this mechanicschat
