Send in... THE CLOWNS!

[ZeeHero]

Clowns MM, summons various types of combat clowns, animation for summon is a volkswagon pulls up and the clowns come out!

The suggestion is definitely not new.  If the devs act on it, it would be very well received.

I ... am not holding my breath.

I'd expect clowns to be a customizable minion option - either via pre-made skins or fully player customizable minions - before being their own full powerset.

Probably off of the thug MM set.  I could definitely see "Clown Car" as an alternate to "gang war".   An arsonist alternative could be interesting, either with a clown doing the fire-breathing carnie routine, or a seltzer bottle full of kerosene for a homemade flamethrower.  I'd personally find it interesting if the clown could have acid for toxic damage instead of fire, sort of a take on Joker's acid-spraying boutonniere.

Just the seltzer bottle bit, no fire. The effect being the target becomes depressed from the hosing. (Edit: Maybe shocked or horrified instead of depressed?) -Recharge, -movement, and -DEF from the lack of effort put into fighting any further until it wears off.

 

Edit again: And any cream pies can be minor damage (from the impact) and -ToHit and -Perception (from the sticky cream).
