The Jester's attributes decline in all categories might be hard to deal with at first and the skills aren't worth using, but the vocation is required for a character to become a [[Luminary]] and then a [[Druid]] later on. | The Jester's attributes decline in all categories save for [[Style]] which might be hard to deal with at first and the skills aren't worth using, but the vocation is required for a character to become a [[Luminary]] and then a [[Druid]] later on. | ||
