Messages

During combat the sidekick will sometimes attack, according to how it was tuned:

• Physical: <name> bops your opponent over the head with a rubber mallet. It seems innocent, but this rubber mallet is coated in lead. Your opponent takes X damage..^[sic]
• Psychic: <name> makes your opponent laugh until they cry, causing X (psychic) damage.
• Fire: <name> assautls^[sic] your opponet^[sic] with a barrage of flaming juggling pins, dealing X (fire) damage.
• Sonic: <name> sings loudly and badly off tune. You're used to it, but your opponent isn't. They take X (sonic) damage.
• Acid: <name> burns your opponent with a caustic wit X (acid) damage.
• Ice: <name> dumps a bucket of icewater down your opponent's back, pranking them for X (ice) damage.
• Electric: <name> utters a shockingly frank statement, as jesters are wont to do. Your opponent is shocked for X (electric) damage.

When you perform a damage spell:

<name> performs a magic trick, making a five-chip piece disappear and reappear someplace unexpected. The opening act makes your own skill appear all that much more impressive.

When tuned to Healing, sometimes at the end of combat:

<name> tells you a long and funny story about how he got this one scar. The story changes every time, and every time you laugh. Laughter, being the best medicine, gains you Y HP.

When tuned to MP-Restore, sometimes at the end of combat:

<name> swigs from a flask and staggers around drunkenly before proffering you the same flask. Hesitantly you take a sip, but it's just cold, refreshing water. You gain Z PP.

Notes

• Using some combat items gives a special message and tunes the sidekick:

When you produce the <item>, <name> grabs it, works it into a juggling routine, cavorting and saying <saying>

• A combat item doing elemental damage tunes the jester to do elemental damage. This tuning remains until a new item is used and changes the tuning.

• Items tuning to Physical damage show the saying: "The most kindest cut of all is a jest that will not scar."
• Items tuning to Psychic damage show the saying: "A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, shall all our foes be soon."
• Items tuning to Fire damage show the saying: "As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of crime with words. Real fire works much better."
• Items tuning to Sonic damage show the saying: "It is a tale told by a jester, full of sound and fury, signifying decibels."
• Items tuning to Acid damage show the saying: "He that is proud eats up himself; that substance right here eats up the foe."
• Items tuning to Ice damage show the saying: "For this comic relif much thanks: 't is bitter cold, and I am jesting at heart."
• Items tuning to Electric damage show the saying: "Come the villains of Twilight in arms, and we shall shock them: nought shall make us rue."

• In addition, some items will tune the jester to either Healing, MP-Restore, Chips, Distracting, or XP. This tuning remains active for three hours, or until the jester is retuned by another combat item.
