Where are the clowns?

Unread post by Zenviscaype »

I was reminiscing the first world book and now that I have two updated books I looked for the vampire clowns... There isn't any. Did I miss something?

Vampires are covered in the Vampire Kingdom worldbook.

However, the 'clowning' skill is in the core book of the PF RPG game.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I believe one of the Traveling Shows mentioned in the Vampires book has an owner/MC who dresses like a stereotypical vampire, though he's not, and is really a decent guy who just likes entertaining people.

The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

The Vampire Clowns of the Night Arcade and Freak Show on pg 142 of WB1 did not seem to be carried over to WB1r.

Travelling circuses travelled over to WB14 and then settled in the BM SB.

Circus clowns are further described in BM SB pg 131. No mention of vampire clowns, but there is no reason why a vampire couldn't put on some makeup and wear a silly outfit.
