Evil Clown (3.5e NPC Class)
From D&D Wiki
Evil Clown[edit]
Evil clowns are people who willingly give up their humanity and gradually become monsters. They are the eaters of children, and of the world, and their laughter is the stuff of nightmares. Evil clowns steal the life force from living beings, scare people to death, harm people with their very words and do it all with a smile on their face. Evil clowns come from all walks of life but are never good, anyone after all can 'Run away and join the circus.'
Making an Evil Clown[edit]
Evil clowns are more like monsters than men. Their powerful natural attacks, and Tomfoolery makes them an ideal choice as main melee dps, and their plethora of unique abilities make them great for ranged support roles, as well as making them overall well rounded. Their mediocre HP, lack of armor proficiency, and low Fort save make them poor choices for tanking roles, though their abilities to steal life with their natural hits, Aura of Menace, and AC bonus can make them efficient stopgag tanks. They should be played with shock value in mind and with a DM (and party) who does not mind a character eating children and poisoning water supplies.

Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the Evil Clown.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A clown is proficient with all simple weapons, short swords, rapiers, scimitars, warhammers, throwing axes, scythes, whips, and with squeaky hammers, but not with armor or shields.
immunities (Ex): Immune to fear and compulsion.
Aura of Evil (Ex): The power of an evil clown's aura of evil (see the detect evil spell) is equal to his evil clown level
Clown School (Ex): An evil clown adds 1/2 his class level to Perform Comedy checks.
Tomfoolery (Ex): With a disturbing and insulting joke, an evil clown can add insult to injury and deal extra damage. As a free action the evil clown can bestow a DC 10 + 1/2 the evil clown's class level + his charisma modifier Will save on a single foe. If the foe fails, the evil clown may deal extra damage on a number of attacks in that round equal to his Charisma bonus, minimum 1. This check may be made only one time per round. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two evil clown levels thereafter. Ranged attacks can count as tomfoolery only if the target is within 30 feet. This damage is never nonlethal damage. Tomfoolery is only effective against creatures that can see and/or hear the evil clown (including through blindsight) and have an intelligence score of at least 3. Tomfoolery is a mind-affecting effect.
Hammerspace (Su): As a free action a number of times per round equal to his charisma modifier, minimum 1, an evil clown may magically produce items for his other abilities, as specified in the descriptions of the individual abilities. This ability can be used even when it isn't the evil clown's turn.
Balloon Familiar: An evil clown may use his hammerspace ability to produce a long skinny balloon, which he may shape into any of the standard animals available to be a sorcerer's familiar as a full-round action. The balloon animal animates, and gains the abilities of a familiar belonging to a sorcerer of a level equal to the evil clown's class level. This familiar is treated as a construct, rather than a magical beast. When a balloon familiar is subject to slashing or piercing damage, it takes triple the normal damage. An evil clown does not lose experience if this familiar is destroyed, but cannot create another balloon familiar until the next day. Any natural weapons the familiar has deal nonlethal damage. If the familiar is within reach, the evil clown may change the familiar to the shape of any other familiar from the standard list as a full-round action. The balloon familiar is otherwise identical to a sorcerer's familiar.
Speak Language (Squeak): An evil clown gains Squeak as a bonus language. This language cannot be learned by anyone who is not an evil clown, no matter how hard they try to learn it.

He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load.

If disturbed they must make a DC 10 + 1/2 the evil clown's class level + his charisma modifier Will save to wake from the illusion.

Darkvision (Ex): Beginning at 16th level the evil clowns eyes begin to glow softly, granting them 30ft Darkvision.
Cotton Candy Contraption (Su): Beginning at 18th level, an evil clown can produce a ray of pink electricity like energy from thier fingertips that cocoons the target in a cotton candy like substance. If the evil clown succeeds on a ranged touch attack with a range of 60 feet, the subject must make a grapple check against the cocoon. This is accomplished as if the evil clown himself was making the grapple check with a competence bonus of +10. On a failed save for the subject the beam turns into a cotton candy cocoon and the victim is treated as grappled though the evil clown is free to do as he desires. The subject can attempt to break the grapple or use escape artist to escape. The evil clown can reinforce the cocoon by expending another use of it's Cotton Candy Ray which provides an additional +5 to the cocoon's grapple check. Cocooned creatures take 1d10 + evil clown's Cha mod damage per round which is leached to the evil clown in the form of healing, regardless of distance. Creatures can attempt to cut thier way out by dealing damage equal to 1/2 the evil clown's hit point total and takes double damage from fire. This power has no effect on creatures 2 size categories larger than the evil clown. The evil clown can use this power 3 + Cha mod times per day.
Worst Nightmare (Su): The evil clown has become a being of nightmares. Each time a living creature first views a specific evil clown from a distance of 30 feet or less (or from a scrying effect), the subject sees the the clown for what he really is: the most horrible creature imaginable. This is not an illusion or phantasm; the evil clown truly becomes, for just that instant, the subject’s worst nightmare. Even if simultaneously viewed by dozens of different creatures, the evil clown appears differently to each one of them. Creatures immune to fear or mind-affecting effects (or warded by protection from evil or death ward spells) are immune to worst nightmare; all others must make a Will save 10+ 1/2 evil clown class level + Cha mod, or die from the supernatural horror revealed. Survivors (and those resurrected) are immune to the effect from that individual evil clown in the future.
Last Trick: When an evil clown dies or reaches a negative hitpoit higher then -10 or reaches 0 hp you can cast one clown gag for free.
True Monster: An evil clown's type permanently changes to Monstrous Humanoid for all related spells and effects and gain a damage reduction of 5/good or magic. Evil clowns coming from any background besides Humanoid gain the damage reduction but no other benefit.
Ex-Evil Clowns[edit]
An evil clown whose alignment changes to be nonevil does not lose any class features, but cannot advance his evil clown level unless he once again becomes evil. Using a clown gag is considered a heinously evil act.
Campaign Information[edit]
Playing an Evil Clown[edit]
Religion: Evil clowns usually have no religion, though some worship evil gods such as Rallaster, or gods of trickery.
Other Classes: Usually evil clowns will have a difficult time interacting with most people much less other classes. Evil Bards may work willingly with them. Rogues may have some similarities and common ground as with Blackguards, Necromancers, and evil Clerics or Mages.
Combat: Evil clowns excell at support roles.
Advancement: Evil clown's would be advised to take levels in Shadowdancer, Assassin, Rogue, or Bard, or if they are more melee focused, plain old Fighter, Monk, or Barbarian. Evil clown mages or clerics would also give a nice powerful character. Evil clowns cannot multiclass into Paladin.
Evil Clown's in the World[edit]
| “ | I'm every nightmare you've ever had. I'm your worst dream come true. I'm everything you ever were afraid of. | ” |
| —Pennywise, Half Fiend Evil Clown | ||
Evil Clowns are more commonly evil NPC's rather than PC's, and usually cannot fit into a regular society, though some try. Many set up Big Top tents outside of towns and lure unsuspecting masses in.
Daily Life: Evil clowns can be found in sewers, luring children in. Others can be found working for kings as jesters, and others may just be street performers or stand up comics.
Notables: Pennywise a Half Demon evil clown who lured children under the sewers and devoured them. The Jack of Fear; a human evil clown who killed 100 women in more and more brutal ways for a year until finally being caught and drawn and quartered.
Organizations: Evil clowns usually work alone, but on occasion they will come together en masse to form what is known as a Cirque du Atrocitas. These have always had to be stopped by powerful adventurers or by direct influence by a higher authority.
NPC Reactions: Most NPC's are unilaterally terrified of evil clowns, and treat them slightly above monsters. Paladins and good aligned Clerics kill them on sight.
