Just about always know if they got a block.
Don't always know who they blocked.
Sometimes the bodyguard guarding a wolf prevents the wolf from acting.
Every once in awhile a bodyguard can take a wolf with him on a block, getting a 1-1 trade.
Sometimes, like the Eaglefan game, there are multiple possible outcomes with the dice roll making the decision.
I've probably had a different version of the bodyguard in each game that I've run because I think it is fun to create slight variations on the normal WW archetypes. However, as BK and others have noted, it is important that the moderator attempt to create a balanced game where both sides have a relatively equal opportunity to win. So if you "gimp" the bodyguard role then there should be corresponding adjustments to strengthen the villagers ("buffed" roles or more roles) or weaken the wolves.
