Hi, I'm curious as to how you guys would build a character that satisfies the following requirements:

- great mundane (and I mean mundane) movement options (climb, jump, tumble)
- strong illusion/enchantment spellcasting (props if you can squeeze in level 9 spells)
- class feature that debuffs enemies (something with many uses/day like a bard song)
- perform skill in acrobatics (is that even a thing), comedy, juggling.
- possibly a taunt mechanic (be it a real taunt rule or simply making impractical attacking someone else while the character is still standing).

I've got some ideas but I think it might simply be not possible to satisfy all the points.
Can you do it?

Beguiler from PHB2

Note that tumble can be used to entertain an audience: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/tumble.htm

-Beguilers get climb, jump and tumble as class skills.
-level 9 spells focusing on enchantment and illusion
-Debuff enemies: Spells
-Taunt: use suggestion and mass suggestion to get enemies to attack you.

Not the best fit for all of the criteria, but I feel like it does need saying - the Jester class from Dragon Compendium.

You'd have to be a Gnome, but take the Divine Bard (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#bardVariantDivineBard) variant, leading into the Divine Prankster prestige class (from Races of Stone).

Here, aim your spells at my d6's, you foolish and obviously not-mighty wizard!

Bard into Master thrower with the Arcane disciple feat to give you the trickery domain and if you play as a gnome for illusion synergy isn't to bad at all. Can be a juggler of knives and then throw them at your enemies lol :)
