[Main Page] [Forum] [GameInfo] [Baldur's Gate II] [Back]


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.

Advantages:
- 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.

Disadvantages:
- None


Opinions


Bardan says : A strange kit, with not much difference between it and the vanilla Bard. I personally would rather have the bonuses to my party than confuse those enemies that are susceptible to it, but it's a personal choice, I guess. Jesters, being bards, have the ability to cast mage spells, so the best place for them is in back, singing when it's effective and using a crossbow or bow when it's not.
