Regardless, Jester normally helps the town once lynched
The only place I’ve ever seen Jester hurt the town is RTM games.
It rarely hurts scum as they can simply night kill. Lynching is designed to be a tool for town/BD.
I read all of those jester links and the arguments are compelling. I originally thought Fool was fine a month ago. I think ToS did the jester the best as even scum don’t want a hanged jester. Unseen/Cult would hang a Fool 100% of the time if they were told who the Fool was at the start of the game.
I beg to differ, more different people they kill, the fewer lynch options that are not confirmed BD will become and it’s proven from FoL games that BD will find easier to discover scum that way since no one will be lynched for two days.
It depends on who gets killed and when Fool gets lynched tho… especially if King is evil.
A late Fool lynch is usually really bad for BD.
An early Fool lynch followed by Prince and Sheriff kills is bad for BD.
Too many killers+Fool is also bad for BD
Never change Fool!

This would still be too powerful. I agree that the fool should be less anti-BD, but not your changes. Poor fellow should just be replaced with retribution(if you are found guilty of treason then you will kill your accuser) instead.
