Pull Pranks and Crack Jokes
When bacchanal and trickster deities believe that the mortal realm has gotten too self-serious, they call upon a Martyr of Levity to lighten the mood. These impish Martyrs are given license to joke, prank, and romp about the world with extraordinarily vague directives. Perhaps they have been commanded to pull a prank or tell a joke so ludicrous that history remembers it forever. Or perhaps the Martyr is themselves the butt of a larger joke, a walking parable about fate’s blunders. Sadly, the Martyr’s death usually serves as a punchline.

Ne’er-Do-Well (Level 3)
You gain proficiency in the Deception skill. Additionally, you gain a bonus to checks using this skill equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).
Sacrificial Shenanigans (Level 3)
When you use your Sacrificial Strike, choose one of the following effects.
Taunt. The target has Disadvantage on the next attack it makes before the start of your next turn.
Trip. The target has the Prone condition.
Just a Prank (Level 6)
Once per turn when a creature you can see makes an Opportunity Attacks against you, you can make a melee attack against the creature. Your attack precedes the triggering attack.
Matador Backstab (Level 14)
You can cast Mass Suggestion without taking Radiant damage or expending a spell use. Once you cast the spell with this feature, you can’t do so in this way again until you finish a Long Rest.
Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting and the spell can target up to 100 creatures within range.
Zany Misdirection (Level 18)
When you use your Reprisal, instead of dealing Radiant or Necrotic damage to the attacker, you can force the attack to hit another creature other than the attacker within the attack’s range.
