Very fun, funny abilities; I'm sure Willy would approve! Love the villain actions and Big Red Ball especially. Really fun stuff all around!
These clowns rule. I love how just by using the abilities in the statblocks you will ensure the combat is wacky and weird like a clown fight should be; good monster design should work this way.

I made a crazy jester/clown! Great minds think alike!
This is one of my favourite submissions. Clowns are creepy, but I could equally see these guys as just comically getting in the way. I can very much envisage my party being bounced silly whilst trying to pursue a serious task...
The Clown face for the Stat blocks is superb. I'm not sure how I would employ them, but if I were running a spooky creepy oneshot, these would be the Fools I'd employ!
The mount, the balloon animals all really work well to make these an effective group of enemies if faced as a collective. Well done for cramming so much into a few pages.
Thanks much!! Hope you find a place for ‘em at some point!
What a comical troupe of enemies! Excellent names for the abilities. I'm sure players will be laughing and worrying about how to get out of a messy combat with these clowns in equal measure.
I see the Balloon Animal minion both grabs and vertical pushes a target; however, as the Grabbed condition describes, getting pushed away would break the grab. I'm a bit puzzled as to the intent. Is the idea that the animal moves with them? Or a target too stable to be launched into the air is grabbed instead?
The idea is that the balloon animal and target move together. As you can see with “loop-the-loop,” the ability tiers are swapped also. This ability needs a rework after the jam, all good points! Thanks!!
Evil clowns are great, and the abilities give a lot of opportunities for role play to highlight the terrifying absurdity of what's happening. I do wish there was a pdf of this and not just the two images.
Thanks for the feedback! :oD
Weirdly, there is a PDF. I don't know why it's appearing as unavailable, since it was uploaded and published.
Proof below!
nevermind! It's fixed!
Itch has a secondary "hide downloads" feature. It should be accessible as a pdf now.
