The Fool
"No one orders people to take out the garbage like Gaston" Gaston Jenkins the Living Meme.
When you need some one to win but mary sue is out taking care of real villains you call upon The Fool.
Adventures: One does not wonder why one wanders, they just do and greatness follows.
Characteristics: Fools are an uncommon lot, the only thing that binds them together is an universal ignorance. While greater men train and hone their skills fool just don't understand the finer things. The avid use of their unique ability Deus Ex Machina allows them to ignore common laws of progress for just achieving it.
Alignment: Fools are most often kind hearted idiots who just want whats best for themselves and those around them, falling into good and often chaotic alignments. A few are religiously focused and favor their deity's alignments. While others focus more on a code and favor lawful alignments. the rarest alignment for the fool is Lawful Evil as they tend to be focused an calculating, but it is not unheard of.
Religion: Fools tend to favor gods of luck but sometimes extremely devout followers of other deities are fools.
Background:
Races: Humans, gnomes, goblins and halflings have the strongest tendencies to be fools. Races favoring law are rarely fools, but on occasion a more devout but unwise one pops up in their ranks. Among most other races fools tend to be looked down on and ostracized.
Other Classes: Most classes look on them with pity. Monks and paladins often try to help these lost souls not quite understanding their drive if of chaotic natures. Clerics and other religious classes get along well with divinely tied fools who favor the same or friendly deities.
Role: Fools fill many rolls depending on the path they choose. Warriors most often fight toe to toe with enemies. Charlatans favor organizing things around them, or fumbling their way across the field. Zealots range widely from healers to avid combatants. Magicians often favor offensive magic, but will just as likely take a supporting role.
Adaptation: The fools range of uses lends them to enter any world with out modifying the status quo. The only thing to be aware of is they tend to be screw up and not know it. So organized groups of fools are almost impossible.

Deus Ex Machina (Su): Fool's are a unique amalgam of luck, foolishness, and success. Where a standard hero relies on his training and experience the Fool relies on the mysterious force called Deus Ex Machina. Deus Ex Machina can come from their own belief in their rightness, a deity's favor, or touched by luck, regardless of source the Fool is most often blissfully unaware of the fact fate favors them. The Fool can benefit from this fate altering power 3 + 1/4 class level - wisdom modifier times per day(min 1). Whenever the fool fails at a task critically or in a way that would result in them or their allies falling below 0 HP or becoming dead or permanently disabled(petrification, imprisonment spell, etc.) they gain a use of Deus Ex Machina. Should the fool gain a use of Deus Ex Machina while at full uses their next instance where Deus Ex Machina could be used to benefit the fool benefits as if they had used Deus Ex Machina for the ability.

Falling Up or Down, Sideways? The Fool can negate all falling damage by expending a use of Deus Ex Machina as long as they are with in 10 ft of a surface during the fall. Starting at the 7th level the fool does not require any surface nearby during the fall. at the 13th level the fool no longer needs to expend a use it just happens.
Fateful Companion (Ex): This poor sod has been with the fool through thick and thin, but the fool some how is the guy that is known while companion is the guy that does things. The fool gains a leadership score for gaining cohorts. The Fool gains a companion that is also their cohort, the companion is uncommonly loyal to the Fool but may still leave if things get bad enough. Fateful Companions have a max level of Character level -1. Feats that modify cohort max level stack with this benefit. The Fool may only have 1 Fateful Companion at a time. Any modifier that would increase the cohort score normally decreases the faithful companions loyalty to adventure, but not their friendship.

Minor Miracle: The Fool may spend a use of Deus Ex Machina gain a feat they qualify for, for 3 rounds. This feat cannot allow the fool to qualify for any other feat.
No: The Fool may spend 2 uses of Deus Ex Machina to negate one effect that would harm them regardless of source. This only effects the how the fool interacts with the effect everyone else is effected by it normally.

If the effect the fool is negating was an attack or has an attack roll it just misses including a Coup De Grace, as long as a miss would negate all effects on the fool.
Probability Strike: The Fool gains proficiency with improvised weapons and Improved Unarmed Strike, like a monk they may use any body part for unarmed strikes. Additionally by spending 1 use of Deus Ex Machina they may have their unarmed strikes and improvised weapons deal damage as a monk of their size, treating fool levels as monk levels for 1 minute. Improvised weapons wielded in 2 hands are use the chart for monk damage as if the fool was one size category larger, so a small fool would use a chair for a medium character and deal damage as if they were a medium monk using unarmed strike. The fool must be of the Charlatan or Warrior path to take this talent.
Paired Ally: The Fool and their Fateful Companion gain a teamwork feat one of them qualifies for. As long as the fool or the fateful companion qualify for the feat the other is treated as qualifying as well. This may be taken multiple times. Fools of the Zealot and Magician path are limited to teamwork feats related to spellcasting. Fools of the charlatan and warrior path may take any teamwork feat.

The fool may only invest half their total skill ranks in their companion. Should a companion be lost the fool regains all skill ranks. The fool must be of the charlatan path to gain this talent.
Spells are Capricious Things: The Fool learns one epic level spell that doesn't want the fool to know anything else. The fool looses all other spells and ability to cast spells. This spell should be gained thematically and not just gained, such as a rare scroll or spell tome that wasn't suppose to be in this part of the library, using the spell as a plot point can make its presence important.. The player and DM should work together to define the spell, but the DM is the final arbiter of the spells nature, the player should never see the actual spell.

When you need some one to win but mary sue is out taking care of real villains you call upon The Fool.
Adventures: One does not wonder why one wanders, they just do and greatness follows.
Characteristics: Fools are an uncommon lot, the only thing that binds them together is an universal ignorance. While greater men train and hone their skills fool just don't understand the finer things. The avid use of their unique ability Deus Ex Machina allows them to ignore common laws of progress for just achieving it.
Alignment: Fools are most often kind hearted idiots who just want whats best for themselves and those around them, falling into good and often chaotic alignments. A few are religiously focused and favor their deity's alignments. While others focus more on a code and favor lawful alignments. the rarest alignment for the fool is Lawful Evil as they tend to be focused an calculating, but it is not unheard of.
Religion: Fools tend to favor gods of luck but sometimes extremely devout followers of other deities are fools.
Background:
Races: Humans, gnomes, goblins and halflings have the strongest tendencies to be fools. Races favoring law are rarely fools, but on occasion a more devout but unwise one pops up in their ranks. Among most other races fools tend to be looked down on and ostracized.
Other Classes: Most classes look on them with pity. Monks and paladins often try to help these lost souls not quite understanding their drive if of chaotic natures. Clerics and other religious classes get along well with divinely tied fools who favor the same or friendly deities.
Role: Fools fill many rolls depending on the path they choose. Warriors most often fight toe to toe with enemies. Charlatans favor organizing things around them, or fumbling their way across the field. Zealots range widely from healers to avid combatants. Magicians often favor offensive magic, but will just as likely take a supporting role.
Adaptation: The fools range of uses lends them to enter any world with out modifying the status quo. The only thing to be aware of is they tend to be screw up and not know it. So organized groups of fools are almost impossible.
