As such, it is inelegant and probably not what you intended.  (Not to mention, it feels less like an attempt to replicate the endboss of FF6, and more of just an attempt to get a chaos-feeling aura on the guy)Mad Clown's Laughter seems... awkward.  You're just rolling random dice to accomplish what 'recharge 6' does elegantly.  I like the basic idea of it tho, so what I'd do is remove the additional die rolling (which only exists to play slot machine with what is, in essence, a terribly non-interactive ability) and instead, make it interactive:Mad Clown's Laughter (whenever a creature has scored a critical hit, at-will, immediate reaction)Kefka may take a standard action.</blockquote>
