# Jester Xeno
## Stats
Generally a jack of all trades (blackjack pun) so should be a middle ground between all other castes. Real show occurs in the abilities.
Gets random crits as part of the rng. Should show a crit effect when they crit someone and possibly play a funky noise for the dopamine receptors to fire.
## Abilities
Intended to be RNG heavy, and generally depends on how well you play the hand you got dealt (HAHAH GET IT IM FUNNY) while also partially depending on whether RNG blessed you. You will not always win even as the best Jester player, but it shines in the hands of someone who knows how to make the best of a situation with completely new set of tools as their RNG updates.
### Joker of clubs
Damage dealt accumulates as chips (100 damage for 1 chip). Every X minutes the xeno will perform a gamble:
- spend 100% of chips to reoll a 50/50 chance to lose your buff, or SET your damage as 10%xcurrent_chips_count
- Spend 50% of chips to maintain current buff
Todo may need to decide a better way to introduce the player to it, should it be an on-screen popup type thing, or on ability use thing(we want to force a choice though) so just the general concept should be considered for now
Note this also means unlike other xenos it can actually scale
If snowballs too hard you can just from damage dealt to # of slashes against humans
### Deck of disaster
Affect target with a random negative affliction (stun/stagger/knockback etc)
Exact afflictions TBD
### Tarot deck
When used, replaces this ability with another ability chosen from a preset (ideally each choice is from a different "style" of play):
- (Over)heal for self or another xeno
- Pounce
- Acid spray
- TBD
Using this ability reverts it to tarot deck.
### Primordial: Doppelgänger
Temporarily grants you the abilities of another random caste(or caste strain?) for 30 seconds.
10% chance to be a t4 (rng also depends on if king/queen can even appear yet?)
30% chance to be a t3
30% chance to be a t2
30% chance to be a t1
Some castes should not be included for functionality reasons? How would plasma work (just ignore it?)?
To make it clear its the jester they would just have a ghost of the xeno that got copied over them.
# Possible issues
- Marines could be annoying to not know the counterplay to Tarot deck?
- Doppelgänger needs to be kept on a tight leash since it could have wierd edge interactions. Should be a whitelist
- Joker of clubs snowball potential? RNG should balance it in general out but may need hard limits
- Snowball/scaling of Joker of clubs
