Run it as a bard rogue hybrid. High charisma high dexterity.

You're travelling entertainer. The inn is always open to you and you keep public spirits high. You have slight of hand and know how to tumble. But you don't care much for disabling traps or keeping a low profile.

Your combat style is about all about status effects, bluffs and evasion. You know how to misdirection foes to trip em, belittle them to enraged them, stick a cream pie in the face blind 'em.

You have a knife. You know how to use it. But you'd rather pin your enem sleeve to the wall then drive it into his back. You have a nice big pair of white gloves after all, why get them dirty?

Most of all you know how to take a fall. How to roll the punch make it look convincing.

Think Joker. Not in the whole "lol I'm chaotic evil and randumb" way, but when it comes to a sense of humor. Puns and contextual jokes are his forte, and he always has something to use as a prop for a laugh (presdigitation or minor illusion can fill in the gap if you don't have anything). Be self-deprecating and a weird mix of flatterer and insulter.

Also, the laugh is important. As a clown you'd laugh a lot, so try to not overdo it when roleplaying. When you do use it, make it count, and make sure the tone of the laugh fits.

I played a member of he Scatterbrains gang in Shadowrun. It was a Dwarven Rigger that was a tad unhinged but was the parties ace in the hole when only a heavily armed surprise attack from an armored vehicle could save their asses.Its too bad Shadowrun seems cursed and sessions never seem to last particularly long

>>51068100
lotta the stuff in there is... not palatable. I find sexy clowns hot. Clown transformations via lactating magic clown juice all over a big titted blonde not so much.

If such a thing exists, I guess its the sexy clown and less the excess sexiness injected into the scenario.

Jester count? If so, the bbeg of one game was a jester assassin.

That's /d/ for you. If a little is sexy, a lot must be orgasmic. They don't really know the meaning of subtlety, or moderation.

That's also why there's nothing really all that attractive about worshipping Slaanesh. They start small, but then they can't get the same rise out of the old stuff so they blow it out of proportion to the point that it's not even about sex anymore, and it more resembles drug addictions. You start with a slutty felinid waifu, then in the end you're getting fucked by chaos tainted Space Wolves that failed their rite of passage.

>>51067236
What game are you playing? Pathfinder? Dnd?

I play a rogue/barbarian who wants to be a clown. He has bipolar disorder and murdered his dad before running away to a circus troupe. He also has honking clown shoes that give a bonus to sneaking, a flaming rapier he uses for a combo sword swallowing/fire eating act, and juggles his knives in combat to confuse people before he tosses them.

Well, IRL, there's like three archerypes for clowns;

>The White Clown AKA Pierrot
They are the smarter ones, to a point-dexter level. Often musical eccentric (musical eccentric is the correct old times term for any kind of comic whos rutines are based on them playing instruments and songs in funny ways). The white clown is sometimes hauty and sometimes shy, easy to embaress and quite prudent. They also talk, and are quite eloquate and articulated. (Look up arthuro bragetti for a modern white clown).

>the Redheaded clown
The colorful childish, almost stereotypical clown. Childish and happy but quick to cry. Doesn't speak much and mostly laughs. Not smart at all. (Look up Charlie Rivell for the most famous redheaded clown).

>the Hobo clown aka the tramp
The hobo. Drunk and in tattered cloths. A bit clever, but still not so smart. Grunts instead of talking. See Charlie Chaplin or George Carl

The thing with funny clowns is to make them do stupid things that are obviusly stupid, but, they do not realise it's supid, but genuinely believe it's like the smartest idéa ever, without overacting.

And here's a tip from the great Buster Keaton; A comedian does funny things. A great comedian does things funny.

>>51068948
Also, a clowns red nose symbolizes that he's drunk, so act a bit drunk.

As weed is taking over as the new "idiot-drug", see Pineapple Express for some more Modern clown behaviors.

I once played a Jester, in a 3.5 game, using a "Dungeonomicon" homebrew from the dandwiki. Man, that was a loooong time ago.

Bizarre spell list, spontenous casting, no proficiencies, no penalties for improvised weapons, and a boatload of super bizarre abilities that made me a little too hard to kill. Good thing I was half-useless in combat, or I would have been exceedingly broken. The class really shined at crowd control though; it finds ways to penalize your enemies in a way that makes it seem like a reverse bard.

Mechanics aside, just try to find the funny side in things. Tell some jokes every now and then, even if they fall flat. Pratfall. Be a little random. Or develop your own particular brand of humor and always try to get better at it. Spread smiles to your friends. Make a joke of your enemies. Whatever.
As long as you're not obnoxious, your assistance will make you an odd, but welcome member of the party.

Uhhh... No. Where are you getting this info? Drunken clowns are typical pinnano, with red or pink ears, except for the case of the American classic tramp, who does partial Auguste.

A few times, here's one:

Well, I guess I'll start off with a few basics about the character. He was a Rogue (Carnivalist/Bandit). Tiefling Race. The GM let me take the Infernal Bastard trait to despite not being in that campaign as he felt voluntary depowering was more than enough justification. I used this to take Prestidigitation as an At Will spell like ability. Perhaps, before I go any further, I should note, the character was not optimized and he was not meant to be. Even at his own profession as a fool, he was lacking. He was all about the character. Yes I could contribute to the party through skill checks, and in combat via feinting, sneak attacks, distraction etc., however my role was ultimately for RP. Now as a character he was rather cruel and insensitive. This was of course, perhaps due to a hard life, but I prefered to liken it more towards his general disposition. He was a worshipper of Groetus, and as our paladin once described him, an "occupational asshole". Early on they met him at a party celebrating the construction of a new chapel. Not to his religious beliefs of course, but he had been curious and decided to drop by. After a brief skirmish from would be goblin party crashers, he was given the chance to introduce himself. Which he did of course by telling his life story:

>>51069016
I was born and raised in a travelling circus, my parents where clowns. I was taught a lot and shaped by it. I was taught the old school of clownery. I didn't see the average joe 9-to-5 world until I was a young man.

>>51069062
You see, his father and mother before him, both of gypsy lifestyle, desired to settle down for the baby. One could only assume this sedentary lifestyle if they had a job. Being of a nomadic lifestyle and having little skills that would allow them to generate a steady income, they eagerly searched for a job in the entertainment industry. It was there that they found an opening. A fool, for a local lord. A man hard as rock, and about the patience of an angry badger. Nevertheless, her pregnancy neared its late stages, and they decided it was worth the shot. As they entered onto the makeshift stage used for auditions, the noblemen eyed them suspiciously. "Sir," they said, "our lordship, cannot accept family acts. For Iomedae's sake, your wife should be at home resting, she looks as if she could birth a child at any minute.". His father pleaded to continue, eventually leading to one of the nobles caving in, "Very well sir, we shall give you this one chance." And as those words left his lips the spectacle began. His mother begins to sing a hymn well known as of Desna's praise, while his father began to heat up an iron. As her song progressed, she slowly peeled away her outer layers of clothing, and then, much to the nobles surprise, her undergarments. Her pregnant and naked body clearly visible, she began kneel down and assume a position on all fours. It was then that his father removed a brand from the fire he had started off to the side and sat upon her back, treating her as furniture for a few brief seconds before thrusting the white hot piece of iron into her thigh. The reek of burning flesh soon reached the noses of the audience as tears streamed down his mothers eyes. His father kicks her in the hip, knocking her down, and begins to douse her other leg and opposing wrist with alcohol before lighting it and undressing himself as she attempts to put out her now burning appendages. Once naked he starts to slap his wifes pregnant belly yelling,

>>51069073
"Get rid of it, we don't need another mouth to feed." But this, is not quite enough abuse as his wife begins to masturbate, despite the abuse and as an orgasm wracks her body gives birth to a baby boy. One not quite of human nature. Furious his father tosses the baby aside landing on his head and begins to strangle his wife. The nobles stream into action at this savagery calling in the guards as the man begins stabbing his wife with a plank of wood torn from the stage. They stab the man with their spears, and drag the wife off stage in an attempt to get her to medical attention immediately, however they are too late. She dies on the trip. As the man lays bleeding, the nobles sit in silence before one bravely asks, "What kind of hellish act is that?" to which, his dying father looks up, and says proudly with tears running down his eyes, "The Aristocrats".

>>51069080
I've probably missed a couple of details, but you get the point. I introduced him with an aristocrat joke. No one ever quite got his true story of origin. Not that it really mattered. Naturally, the table was horrified and it was only the predecessor to his antics. He was a cynical bastard at his best, and downright unfunny at his worst. Given the chance, there would be jokes or rhymes, often belittling the target. When our bard lost his hand? Puns arrived at his expense. He was a master of the anti-joke, or so he liked to think, bearing wonderful gifts such as "How do you make a tanner cry? You kill his family." or some variation of "What's worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm? Getting raped by a giant scorpion.". There were racist jokes, there were sexist jokes, there was even, on one occasion following the miscarriage of an npc that had endeared itself to the party, a dead baby joke. He criticized nobility, in particular their treatment of the poor. He criticized the poor for their belief in the afterlife. He held no respect for the dead. And no respect for his fellow man or beast. This was best characterized with his familiar, a babboon, which would become irate and throw a shit fit at the end of each terrible joke. He treated this as his own personal laugh track, supposedly reinforcing his ego - however it is apparent that he knew the reality of this fit, despite the fact that the monkey's acting out was indeed it voicing its disapproval. In fact, the jokes quite angered it. A fact that probably delighted him. There were assassination attempts, to rid the world of such an abrasive character. They failed, sometimes due to his perception, sometimes due to party intervention. He caught diseases, but never enough to push him past the threshold of death. He was poisoned, he was injured, and altogether endured a large deal of abuse.

>>51069087
When he finally kicked the bucket at the hands of a skilled fighter, the party refused to resurrect him. Well, one of them did bury, but there was no attendance at his funeral. No one missed him. No one was endeared to him. He was forever seen as a spiteful little man with a penchant for the discomfort of those around him, no remorse or guilt and a nihilistic view of life and death.

Well then, you might be privy to know that when a clown has come of age, they must their noses is hunting down a male proboscis monkey, and fighting it to the death with nothing but a polkadoted loincloth and rolled up newspaper (week print, with the ads taken out, not the sunday edition. You can read the funnies before the hunt if you like).

The prospect, if successful with then tear off the mighty schnoz of the proboscis monkey, and craft his nose under a moonless sky, the blood of his slain foe dyeing the prize as red as the sunrise that will don upon the newly initiated clown.

And thus the cycle of life continues.

Gropey can explain the egg registry and clown lore better than I can.

Well, to enrage about half the people in here, I theory crafted a 5e clown race. Kept it generic and relatable, so most of the cultural stuff was lore rather than racial features, but it had three basic subraces:

Base stats:
+1 Dex
Proficiency in performance


Circus: +1 Dex, +1 charisma, proficiency in improvised weapons and animal handling, whips, and whenever you're knocked prone, being able to get a comedic laugh that provides 1d4 temporary hitpoints to allies, can use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier per long rest.

Court Jester: +2 Charisma, proficiency in deception and persuasion, and a natural proficiency in gambling cards, and the ability to treat playing cards as an improvised weapon with the same stats as a dagger, but with slashing damage.

Mime: specialized in illusion and invisibility magic. +2 Int, the Dark Elf racial magic with illusory spells, some fluff about how people are perfectly able to understand your pantomime as long as you speak a given language, and "you may cast spells without verbal components, however, you must compensate by making wild and exaggerated somatic components." Also get a once per day ability to make minor illusion physical and/or invisible.

Would you like to see more clown threads on /tg/? Clowns-as-race guy here. There's something extremely satisfying with the thought of derailing another Dwarf-Elf thread with the Clown Master Race?

'Clown Culture' is like Wiccanism. It's not as old as guys like Gropey make it out to be, and the adherents to this manufactured lifestyle draw very thin, almost negligible threads to older cultures to try and create a sense of lineage when really, they're more appropriations and deliberate misinterpretations of historical information.

Considering the word 'clown' only appears in the Renaissance, and has nothing to do with performing, it's true. Fools and jesters are nothing like contemporary clowns, and part of modern clowning society trying to create a lineage that doesn't exist.

Major wars in high civilian areas tend to not do terribly well for highly resource consumptive entertainment.

I am sure there were people clowning, and juggling and doing trapeze, but in Europe, the circus just wasn't a thing during the world wars, and many circuses had animals taken (horses pressed into cav units, performing pigs and even elephants eaten). Same thing happened to the zoos and such.

In America, life went on pretty much as usual, as there was not as much a resource crunch, and no fighting on US soil

>>51069901
>I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "cultural roles"
I think you guessed it. Roles people had in medieval culture.

>nobleman
Are their duties and activities really that alike between modern and medieval period?

That's entirely true. I suppose a better question is, how did the circuses fare once the war ended?

Anyway, my stepfather was a clown back in the day. A lot of the information you give reminds me strongly of my childhood in some weird ways. I haven't kept with the circus though I do tech in shows, once you get performance in the blood right?

A tragedy, for sure. Maybe I should hit up my stepfather for some stories. Or even better, his ol' mate Dunk so I don't have to talk to my stepfather.

I also take not to watch The Last Circus? It was one of those vaguely recalled details that I threw into the google engine.

>DM is letting me play some clown homebrew class

Tell the DM if you're playing D&D he needs to fuck off with his hombrew because Clowns already exist in D&D canon, and they are the most dangerous fucking spellcasters in the entire game:

You see, in the forgetten realms comics there was an issue which involved clowns, who had the ability to cast spells hiding their verbal components in their jokes.

Once upon a fucking time a clown told a joke so funny it killed his entire audience.

In order to discover this, a society of Jester formed and promply reanimated his skeleton as a massive titan sized size behemoth that lay Siege to water deep, that could spew fire from it's fucking mouth.

Later on, it was revealed that the joke was Power word Kill, but the pint still stands that the Jester's pulled off a massive Skeleton in a ritual without much effort.

This is canon, and was also featured as a prestige class in 3.5, which allowed players to perform and depending on the performance, could have PC's end up performing from the streets, to taverns, bars, kings, queens, emeperors, THEN THE FUCKING DEITIES.

The final level let's you do the funniest joke in the world power word kill

But that isn't the scariest part of the Jester

Back in 2e, there was a Jester kit that let you do the above.

At level 20 of this kit- a Jester can Draw whatever the fuck he wants from a Deck of many Things

In 3.5, there's a variant deck of many things which can force a massive number of transformations on a player, even vampirism for example.

Jester's are fucking Dangerous fucks, they could cast an epic spell and no one would notice until it's too late.

>>51070205

>>51071328
I don't remember the deck of many things thing, but I do remember them having some control over the Rod of Wonder

I'm playing a clown in a 5e game right now. It's been ridiculously fun, I refluff a lot of spells to be clown-themed, like Acid Spray from a flower on the chest, or Guiding Bolt as a thrown pie to the face. It's been amusing hamming up some scenes.

I once did a whole town that was a circus. Streets thronging with performers and ear-shattering honking.

The PCs instantly got their shit stolen by a light-fingered mime.

MY city used to have a lot of espectables, from free to very expensive. We are a brazillian town that has quite big grass plains along the lake coast, so they used to make their tents in there, just two blocks from my home. Alos we have some sort of "week of laughs", that gets comedians and other actors (including clows) to make espectables to boost culture.But not onlly the animal ban, but the government stopped giving a loan to culture acts, making all the sort of Expectable oriented people start to go completelly broke.

When I was a child I was actually cared of clowns Now I havee an fetish for them, and theres almost none wandering the streets anymore, maybe at the parks.

I keep thinking Bard is a better choice since it has to be rogue-ish but magic needs to be in there somewhere.

Something heavily reliant on performing and illusion. Since half the time entertainer clowns are magicians anyway. They need some kind of magic that comes off looking like balloons, flowers, playing cards, and explosions.

It depends. If you're not a jackass, go for it! Clowns are fun! The very image is one of entertainment for most.

If you're an asshat who is purposefully scaring people, we'll have problems. Back home in NoLa, durring carnival, halloween, newyears etc, we'd literally roam the streets bending balloons for people and having fun, but if we saw some "scary clown" bullshit, we'd pull them between some buildings and have a discussion with them. I still have a ribber chicken full of lead birdshot for more serious discussions.

Honest talk, I think they are lame as hell, but in general they tend to be good people (if low class and trashy) who keep to themselves and have a very self supportive social community. More over, I have even met a handful that wanted to learn how to do a few things, but its mostly fire performance and making balloon strapons. I have never once had a public issue with a juggalo, and they accept that they are not everyone's cup of tea.

Actually, there is typically more crying, and we almost never had to beat up anyone. I am a big guy, and this was before I started putting on weight. When four burly clowns ask you to stop scaring children and grabbing women, you tend to listen.

>>51080254
Actually, as both a clown and a Rom, there isn't much violence in either (at least in America). I see more violence in New Orleans culture and my Italian side of the family.

You have to have a lot of skill, and a pedigree helps. Then you have to audition for a school. The three big schools left are Quebec, Brazil and Ukraine. Then you have to hope to get in, hope to pass and hope to get picked up by a show, as for most its a "work until you can't" kinda job.

You can also take some summer courses and do volunteer or party work. You can also take courses just for fun. I teach summer courses for people who just want to learn for shiggles.

Well Satan, tumbling, buffoonery, pratfall, mime and general physical comedy as well as good improve skills are required. This is what the entirety of clowning is about.

Secondary skills, such as balloon sculpture, juggling, balance skills, hand magic etc, are not required, but like any job, make you more market able. If you do not have the formerly listed skills though, you are not a clown, but a performer in a clown costume. This in itself is not a bad thing, and its most common in what we know as party clowns".

For example, I am a clown, as well as a proper sideshow stunt performer. I also have balancing skills, hand magic, balloon sculpture, prop comedy, stilt walking, fire perfromance, unicycle, and knife/axe/cleaver throwing skills. I can't juggle for shit, and have had some of the best in the country try, and fail to teach me.

Yeah, that post was obviously a joke. I wouldn't expect that from you, mr.Clown.
Anyway, do you enjoy clowning? If so, why? What makes the way of the Honk so pleasurable to you?

>>51080967
I have actually managed to go all these years without anyone seeing my full face on 4chan, and plan to keep it that way, and even then, I changed my face after I split with my ex, which is kinda a big deal in the clowning world.

Its a personal thing. I am much more regular in showing my unpainted face.

And the character is not a real clown, but they do hire party clowns and have their own "Ronald McDonald Clown Class" for teaching them. The face is registered.

>>51080978
>Mr.Clown
Please, call me Gropey.

>Anyway, do you enjoy clowning?
If I didn't, I wouldn't do it.

>If so, why?
I really can't explain fully, but its a bit of psychological freedom of expression. Only when your face is covered, are you truly who you are. I am also big into tradition and entertaining.

That all said, aside from teaching classes, and the occasional vaudeville/burlesque/fetish show, I haven't been a full time performer in years. My current state doesn't have much need of a regular pro clown or sideshow performer, and I am a full time military historian for a couple museums now.

>Did you ever have serious relations with people outside of the industry?
When I still toured and such, no. Living on the road and on the stage isn't conducive to a stable relationship if they don't share the lifestyle.

>What did they think of it? Did they have you do anything in character that was lewd?
Hookups were typically BECAUSE of the sideshow or clowning. I like clown girls, and girls like clowns. I also moonlighted as a pay-to-play Dom for a while.

>How attractive do you find pic related?
Cute, but not by my clown kink standards.

>Was she a good representative of the clowning community?
I never actually watched the show. It was past my childhood, or interest.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.

Clown kink is a gateway kink. Non-threatening, playful, and provides the aspect of "otherness"; You're not who you are while you're in face, allowing a bit more comfort in trying new things. It pretty much always includes a lot of harder stuff.

Swimming is a great work out especially if you're trying to lose weight because you're using your entire body and not just try to do "spot reduction" you feel me. It also isn't hard on your body and joints because the water supports you.

A treadmill is fine actually, you just have to use it properly which you clearly don't know how to do.

Thanks, Gropey. I used to be 260 lbs. because of shitty medication, but I fixed that, and started working out- normal stuff like jumping jacks, push ups, etc. I've dropped 35 lbs at a very slow rate. I'm poor af, so I don't own any equipment, but I've been doing alright with what I have. I might start saving up for a rower, though.

What stops a party clown from playing a defined character? Like, wouldn't the good ones create a persona as a part of their routines? I mean, they're still ultimately entertainers, right?

>>51093065
Because the archetypes are specifically designed and defined for interaction with opposing clown characters, in a performing setting. This is the heritage of the characters of traditional comedia, which enables smooth transitions, and recognizable rolls, and a strong starting point for improvised performance between clowns.

Party clowns have personalities and chatacters sure, but the ridged archetypes are not needed, and can actually hamper interaction with your audience, in a one on one setting.

Not as clowns, but they are registered as logos through international copyright standards

>What happens if a non-registered party clown gets caught copying a registered clown's make-up?

Probably nothing. No one cares unless they are doing something specifically that may be harmful or illegal, and going through the trouble of specifically copying another clown's face is a lot of work, and requires you to be physically shaped like the person as well.

TL:DR
If a party clown has similar makeup to a professional, and isn't doing anything wrong, no one cares. If they are pretending to BE said clown, or are attempting to monetize or market the face as an image, there is a problem
