The Harlequin Class
A fiendish assassin flings daggers from the alley, eliminating her target's guards faster than they can blink. A mischievous court jester cackles amongst the chaos as his plot to kill the prince finally succeeds. Fire engulfs the town just as the circus is leaving. The flame juggler is now sleeping happily with the payment of his contract. The enigmatic harlequin delights in causing chaos, especially when they get paid.
This mod is inspired by the Harlequin homebrew class by Lexi Abbey and its three subclasses: the Acrobat, Jester, and Torch Bearer. The Harlequin class embodies whimsy and enigma, a performer skilled in deception and combat. They dance on the line between illusion and reality, using their beguiling presence and agile acrobatics to confound and frighten foes.
