Jesters are just that: jesters. They are the comics, loonies and madmen of the changelings. They love pranks, jokes and slapstick comedy.

Appearance

In their mortal seeming, the Jesters look weird, with frizzy hair, baggy clothes, and wild looks. Their fae seeming is this to the extreme.

Appearance

Childing: Proverbial bouncing baby boys or girls. Laughs at everything. A kender in all respects.

Wilder: The craziest of class clowns. The practical joking kings and queen of the school.

Grump: The circus clown of old. The original Joker.

Entertainment industry is where they like to be. The also love medieval re-enactment. Anyplace they can show off is what they like best.

Birthrights

Mr. Stretch: The Jesters are rather elastic and can take more damage than normal. They get +1 to Stamina and 2 extra health levels (Two of these traits for free: Graceful, Lithe, Nimble, Quick or Resilient). This also gives them the ability to bounce a lot. Gives them one automatic success for Hopscotch.

A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste: A combination of Gimmix, Mooch, Ensnare and Rattle.

Mana Manipulation: Jesters, of no fault of their own, can manipulate the old force of magic called mana. They do have access to the magic of the Eternal Game.

Frailties

Playing the Fool: All Jester get the Unseelie legacy Fool automatically.

Wyld Surge: When a Jester gets a hold of a magic item, fetish or talisman, that is not made for a changeling, there is a slight chance the item will malfunction in their hands.(This is determined by success).

Success	Action
0	Disaster (ST choice)
1-2	Backfire-Fizzle
3-4	Sputter-Glowing
5	It worked for once
6	Well? (Delayed reaction)
7	Double Power
8-9	Noisy Cricket-Screaming Flea
10+	Wand of Wonder (Players choice!!!)

To Prank or not to Prank: The Jester must make a Willpower check not to prank someone who has wronged them. Failure equals a lost of a permanent Willpower point and a very nasty prank or taunt.
What's that Noise: A Jester cannot get the skill of Stealth. They are too noisy, because they love to wear bells and are somewhat hyper.
