=== In Your Campaign ===

There are several phrases a red jester can use in combat with the PCs to make it memorable. Below a few examples, but you'll likely need to see how your own combat progresses and make bad puns off the cuff:
* "Is that a dent in your codpiece or are you just happy to see me?"
* "Seems the pen is mightier than the sword!" (on stabbing someone in the eye with a quill)
* "This will hurt you more than it hurts me."
* (singing) "When you swim in a creek and an eel bites your cheek, that's a moray!"
* "Don't worry. Laughter is the best medicine!" (after striking a PC with its mace)

If ever an undead reminded you of a class, the red jester does this for the bard. As a variant to the origins listed above, perhaps bards that reach 10th level become red jesters if animated properly (say, if a deck of many things is placed on the corpse during the ritual). A red jester isn't interested in destroying the living, but rather making them laugh. It will not, however, give quarter to those seeking its destruction.</onlyinclude>
