Fey Prankster

Many are born with a natural connection to the Feywild, with the capacity to use it for many things good or bad. A Fey Prankster is able to use their powers to trick and outsmart nearly anyone they meet. Maybe they find a simple delight in harmless pranks, or maybe they do become a more threat to someones' wallet as a charlatan. In battle, a Fey Prankster is able to keep decieving their enemies to maneuver around the battlefield unharmed.
