The group was updated to Fourth Edition HERO System in the Classic Organizations sourcebook, which did the same thing with PRIMUS, DEMON, Sanctuary, and the Soviet-era characters from Red Doom. PRIMUS and DEMON have since had further revisions, while the others don't exist in the Fifth Edition Champions Universe.

Unfortunately I'm not aware of that book being for free anywhere, and it would likely be much more expensive than the original CLOWN book that MisterBaldy linked you to.

That book was a 3rd edition supplement. They also appeared in the 4th edition book Classic Organizations, which will have character write-ups that are closer to being 5th edition compatible.

I know how rough it can be...heck, I am working, and I can't even scrape together money to buy anything except the basic needed items and amennities.

Any time the flavor text includes a statement like: “CLOWN has been responsible for more heroes buying off their Code vs. Killing disadvantage than any other group.� You just know it’s going to be fun!

Not just heroes... players, too.

C.L.O.W.N.??








I love CLOWN

[Hermit]

Perhaps CLOWN should be brought back into 5th Ed, but as a super HERO team, their motto, "If you can't beat em, prank em and run"

Mmm, probably not, but still an idea.

The first time I had a C run into CLOWN, he killed one...two of them, he didn't have a code vs killing, beening a ninja, and even our "I won't let you kill," hero who did mad at the C, understood why it was done. He killed Tru*p K*night, M*ery A*drew, and loved every minute of it.
Yes I HATE 'CLOWN'!!!! Needless to say I ran them to make others life's miserable. It was a love to hate group of Villians.

Now that Hermit, that is real scary. I do have to agree that it is a good idea.

Last Time we encountered CLOWN in a campaign, our resident Sword Wielding Maniac found himself beheading a Ronald McDonald statue in the middle of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, just before the giant piantasaurus exploded all over the government officials in the centre of the city.
Personally i've found from experience that CLOWN is a greater threat to the GM's continuing health then its is to the PCs.
We must therefore bring them back into the mainstream champions universe, its a moral imperative.

Working out their disadvantages shouldn't be too hard, every point spent on Hunteds.

The only way I'd use them would be as pychotic killers ala Black Harlequin.
