Masked Clown

Where did the masks come from? Did they come in a dream? A gift from a mysterious stranger? Perhaps found amongst a pile of discarded junk. One thing is for certain, the masks changed you and gave you access to an esoteric source of power; where the world's a stage and you are a performer in the lime light. Masked Clowns channel the powers of the archetypical clowns Columbine, Harlequin, and Pierrot through masks symbolizing each. The Masks are mystical in nature and give the wearer the ability to perform Mystic Stunts that make them stand apart from the crowd. Whether its benign mischief or terrorizing ploys, a Masked Clown exists to entertain, themselves mostly.

Mystic Stunt

3rd-level Masked Clown feature

While the Masks provide a font of energy, your ability to entertain is the source of your power. This power is represented by your Mystic Stunt dice, which are each a d6. You have a number of these dice equal to twice your proficiency bonus, and they fuel various Mystic Stunts you have, which are detailed below as well as those provided by your Manifested Mask.

Performing a Mystic Stunt uses your bonus action and you can’t use a Stunt when your dice are all expended. You regain all your expended Mystic Stunt dice when you finish a long rest. 

When you reach certain levels in this class, the size of your Mystic Stunt dice increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12). The Stunts below use your Mystic Stunt dice.
