Losing Tarot
So I heard a rumor that Jesters might be losing Tarot eventually. My first thought was "that's preposterous".
But then I realized the most used skills were Hangedman and Aeon, followed by survivability like Hermit, Uni, and Priestess. Hangedman and Aeon can be replaced by Puppetry, conceivably (bind, slow).
So skipping the other necessary cards, I toyed with the idea of splitting Pranks into two skills: Pranks and Props. You would just have to add more stuff to each skill to compensate.

The class seems to come out a little prop-heavy. But I also had a casual idea to spin-off JITB, where you change the prize at the end without them knowing. Starts the same way, with a winding box, but could finish with an explosion of darts or snakes or bees that give full lock affs: paralysis, asthma, anorexia, slickness, impatience, weariness, and voyria. Essentially still an instant kill but more indirect, gives the jester time to play with his food.
Also if balloonhandoff/butterflybomb ever becomes a combo again, glue could be used to prevent them dropping the balloon. But the recent balloon nerf went a step in the other direction on that one.

Mentioned glue before re: bombs being too easy to drop.
Mousetraps would have nothing to do with mice but drop one (1 wood, 1 iron) to snap an enemy with some damage or something. Still think some form of trap would be a good addition. We can identify and disarm them, makes sense we could design some kind.
