The Jester (d20)
The Jester presents a new 20-level base class for your d20 System fantasy game. A jester is a madman¸ but not in the sense of being insane. His actions are unpredictable¸ sometimes even to him. He is rash and wild¸ and can be intimidating to someone who does not know him. A jester's behaviour can be quite bizarre¸ even unsettling¸ often apparently unrelated to the immediate situation. He relies on surprise¸ blind luck and unusual tactics and ideas to escape danger and evade his enemies. He sows confusion and chaos¸ and uses it to his advantage. Not all jesters are professional fools¸ though some are¸ but all are entertainers at their core. Jesters rarely stop talking or laughing¸ and regale those around them with tales of harrowing adventure or embarrassing failure and folly. A jester is always good for a rousing tale or jest (thus the name)¸ though some might leave those around him concerned about his sanity¸ or taste. Jesters thrive on being difficult to read¸ and work best when their opponents are hesitant and off-step. Jesters combine abilities of pure luck¸ verbal manipulation¸ sneakiness and magic¸ including the quirky Random Spell ability¸ which allows a jester to cast a spell that doesn't use up a spell slot; the only problem is that he doesn't know which spell he will cast! So add some chaos to your campaign today. Add the jester¸ and just see what happens.
