College of the Fool

Bards of the College of the Fool, also known as Fools, Clowns, or Jesters, focus not only on inspiring allies, but on bringing down enemies with insults, belittlement, and mockery. They adventure and cause chaos in the name of the common folk, erasing corruption where it is found and bringing light to evil in the shadows.
