I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but, I figured the Jester class would have to have its own special set of skills. I'm not sure how much it would cost, since I want to list several skills, but not buy them all, kinda like the tiers I have set up for the Jester...
#1
Name of Skill: Box of Fun
Who can use it: The Jester class
What it does: Not really a box, it is a dimensional portal. The portal will open with the Jester of Spade's mask on it, he will often do some sort of strange dance and chant before doing this, but it isn't long enough to leave a vunerable point. These portals launch damaging orbs of star energy at the enemy, and once they make contact with the enemy, they explode and dissapear. The Jester can summon up to three of these portals at once, and the amount of portals determines the attack. One portal allows waves of orbs to be launched rapidly in a 360 degree targeting range, however, the orbs will be launched in big, random globs, and are easy to avoid once one learns the pattern. Two portals launch only one orb at a time at a slower rate in front of them, these orbs will bounce around randomly, but they are a bit harder to avoid. Three portals allows this orbs to be launched in seemingly random patterns, however, a keen observer will find that these orbs will rotate slowly in a dome-like formation around the Jester, making it very hard to get to him without sustaining plenty of damage. Unlike the rest of the formations, however, this one has a much more limited distance, and is really mainly meant for just keeping people away from the Jester...or having those who are very angry with him commiting suicide.
Advantages-A nifty attack that serves multiple purposes and is good against nearly any amount of targets. The Jester can still move around after he has summoned this portals, and usually is right underneath the portal launching all of these painful orbs, making him very hard to attack, and even harder to damage. Each mode of attack is specialized, and allows this attack to be hard to predict, which is exactly what the Jester loves.
Weaknesses-Getting hit by a single orb will knock you off of your feet from the impact, and might even make you bleed a bit, but getting hit by one of these things is equivalent to getting punched in the shoulder. It hurts, but it definately isn't enough to get you out of a fight, and these orbs are only really dangerous when they hit you in large numbers. Also, these are one-shot attacks, so once you are hit by one, you are not in danger of getting hit by the same one again.
Price-$3,000 sound fair? This is the one I am buying...
#2
Name of Skill: Juggle Explosion
Who can use it: The Jester class
What it does: The Jester will juggle random dangerous objects, such as a chainsaw, a torch, a motorcycle, a bomb, ect. After juggling these objects, the Jester will hurl them at his opponents, and miss quite handily. However, an observant character will note that the bomb is missing amongst the objects that missed. Most of the time, before someone can even react, the Jester will laugh quite obnoxiously, and the bomb will conk the opponent right on the head, and explode shortly afterwards, hitting opponents that may not even have been the target of the attack. The bomb does fire damage.
Advantages-Heavy fire damage, can hit multiple targets, and of course, the opponent is probably so relieved that he didn't get hit by a chain, a motorcycle, and other dangerous objects that he will is likely not to be prepared for the oversized bomb about to give him a concussion and then explode on him and his nearby allies.
Weaknesses-The bomb is the main source of damage, and if for whatever reason the bomb is avoided, then no damage is taken. Obviously creatures immune to fire, like dragons, are uneffected by this attack.
Price-$4,000, maybe? Not buying this one.
