## Mechanics

### Protection - Bouncing

* Any player that attempts to visit your target will have their ability fail. This includes all Town Investigatives, all Town Protectives, all Town Supports except the Transporter, all Mafia except Mafia Killings, the Coven Leader (without the Necronomicon), the Potion Master (healing or revealing), the Hex Master (without the Necronomicon), all Vampires except Vampire Killings, all Florae Investigatives, all Florae Protectives, the Gardenia, a Nightshade (healing), Apprentices, Witches, Arsonists (dousing), the Conqueror (healing), and the Plaguebearer.
	+ You cannot stop any Town Killing, any Mafia Killing, the Coven Leader (with the Necronomicon), the Medusa (visiting), the Mystic, the Necromancer's Ghoul, the Poisoner (initial visit), the Potion Master (attacking), Adze, Lampir, any Florae Killing, a Nightshade (attacking), any Neutral Killing (except Arsonists), the Conqueror (attacking), the Huntsman, the Pirate, and Pestilence. If any of these roles attack your target, the attack will be dealt to you instead.
		- The Coven Leader will not control their target or learn their target's role if they are bounced. However, if they have the Necronomicon, they will still deal a Basic Attack to their target which would be redirected to the Bouncer instead.
* You will not guard or protect your target from attacks made by the Jailor, Veteran, Town Protectives, an Ambusher, the Medusa (gazing at home), the Hex Master (with the Necronomicon), Bebarlang, Dahlia, Nettle, Jesters, the Werewolf (rampaging), Juggernaut (rampaging), or Huntsman.
* If a player who is given Astral visits by a Scout visit your target, they will not be bounced by you.
* If you are controlled into yourself by a Witch/Coven Leader, you will not bounce the Witch/Coven Leader who controlled you.

### Why did my target still die?

* You will **not** be able to protect your target in the following situations:
	+ Your target was killed by the Veteran while on alert.
	+ Your target was a Bodyguard or another Bouncer who died while guarding.
		- You can protect a Bodyguard or another Bouncer from being attacked by a killer, but not their counterattack or redirection respectively. Only Doctors, Crusaders, Potion Masters, Calendulas, Lilies, Nightshades (healing), and Guardian Angels can prevent a Bodyguard from dying in a counterattack.
	+ Your target committed suicide (by leaving the game), being haunted by the Jester, or over guilt as a Vigilante.
	+ Your target was attacked by an Ambusher or Crusader.
	+ Your target visited the Medusa using a Stone Gaze.
	+ Your target visited Pestilence.
	+ Your target was attacked by a Trap or another Bodyguard.
	+ Your target was killed by a Hex or an Arsonist ignite.
	+ The target was jailed and/or executed by the Jailor.
		- If a Werewolf attacks a jailed target and you guard them, you will be mauled. The Werewolf will survive.
	+ Your target died to Poison.
	+ Your target was directly attacked by a fully powered Juggernaut (you will still kill the Juggernaut).
	+ Your target died from a broken heart in Lovers Mode.
	+ Your target visited the target of a role with rampage.
	+ **Multiple** killing roles attacked the target (you counterattack only one of them, so your target died).
	+ If none of the above apply, yet your target still dies, at least one of the following may have occurred:
		- You were controlled by a Witch or Coven Leader to visit a different target.
		- Your target was transported with another target because of a Transporter. You will **not** know if this happens.
