“Unpredictable” The jester is always being random and doing what is unexpected. So much so that magic can’t understand him. Any divination magic trying to locate him or learn something about him have a chance of failing or giving false info. If the spell is targeting the jester directly then see if the spell fails or succeeds, if it succeeds then flip a coin and call heads or tail. Then roll a d100, call high(>=51) or low (<=50). If you get what you called both times, or if you don’t get what you called either times then the spell works with out a hitch. But if you get 1 you called and the other you don’t, then the spell give false info. If the spell is looking in an area and isn’t trying to find the jester but does, roll a d100, it fails with <=33, false if >=34&<=65, and succeeds with >=66.
