Which kit might use the Jester's chain +4

GreenWarlock

I saved up all my coin in Spellhold and acquired the Jester's Chain +4, which seemed really neat until I realized that it still shuts off spells like any other chain. Given it is not a spell-chain, what kits or NPCs are there where a strong chain mail would be considered the best armor to be wearing, rather than something heavier - if we are already invested in metal armor?

It is a fun piece of kit, and I would really like an excuse to wear it - maybe it really is time to roll up a Jester, and take it just for RP giggles?

Barbarian maybe.

Throwing the file in this rar file into your override folder should remove the spellcasting restrictions on the jester's chain.

I use it on my Jester after editing out that silly spell-disabling effect in Near Infinity.

I never get the jester's chain. I always get the boots of speed + boots of the north.

i also felt like this should not have disabled wizard spells.. wearing it makes you look like a twit, that in itself is punishment enough

Beauty is in the eye(eyes?) of The Beholder.
Myself, I find it rather dashing.

From a gameplay standpoint it certainly makes no sense for you to get this item, which is clearly for jesters, that you can' cast spells by wearing. But at the same time the lore around the item doesn't suggest it shares the properties of elven chainmail that allow for you to cast spells while wearing it.

Edit: I figured I'd just attach the weapons description to my post.

Friends of Dekirh Fasthands, a bard who insisted on playing the rowdiest towns on the Sword Coast, gave him this suit of magical chain as a gift. The chain mail was given to protect Dekirh from the drunken spectators who often threw rotting produce, chairs, and even knives at Dekirh. The bard appreciated the gift but painted it with wild colors to better fit into his show.
