-The Fool is as much an archetype as it is a class: the oblivious, bumbling type who nonetheless avoids tragedy and experiences great success. You don't have to be foolish to take levels in Fool, but its abilities are strongly helpful towards allowing you to survive and thrive despite acting that way. Besides, sometimes it's more fun to fuck up.
