'''Jesters''' were a class available briefly in trunk, shortly before the release of [[0.12]], for the week following April Fool's Day in 2013. They started off worshiping [[Nemelex Xobeh]], while simultaneously being under penance from [[Xom]]. Their starting set included a [[cap]], [[robe]], [[Book of Party Tricks]], [[quarterstaff]] of [[chaos]], and pies. The last were a new comestible introduced specifically for them: in addition to being eaten, they could also be thrown at monsters to blind them.

While Jesters only existed briefly, many ascensions with them were had, including a number of all-runers. While not every species saw an ascending Jester, most did.
