There are some who say that the carnie template (Pyramid 114) exists for reasons other than to make a dungeon-crawling juggalo. Those people are wrong.
Meet "Merry Andy the 86th," an axe-wielding, madness-inducing thug who would wear clown-style war paint to a ballroom dance (if anyone was crazy enough to invite him). It's crucial to note that he is not based on the "clown" suggestions for the carnie, doesn't have garishly bright armor, or anything like that. He doesn't perform for the world, he holds it hostage.
(Obviously, I used my standard house rule for separating IQ and Will. If you don't use that, raise his Per to 14.)
