Jester BG2

Jester is a BG2 class in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2. Jester is a unique Bard in that its song does not buff allies, but rather divides & conquers enemies by slowing them, confusing them and knocking them unconscious on a round by round basis, save vs. Magic at +4. The song is also MR-bypassing and does not break Invisibility status. In my tests, both Illasera and Gromnir fell to the Jester's battlesong.

Jester Kit Description

This bard is well versed in the arts of ridicule and hilarity, and uses his abilities to distract and confuse his enemies, cavorting madly during combat. Do not mistake him for a true fool, however, as he can also be quite deadly.

Jester's Song

Jester's song does not help allies. Instead, it affects every opponent within 30 feet, and they must save vs. magic at +4 once per round or be confused.

Recommended HLAs: Use Any Item, Set Spike Trap.

• Bardic lore.

The Jester is taken from The Complete Bard's Handbook (TSR, 1992).
