[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9343694, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/276326/Starfarer-Adversaries-Cannibal-Clowns-from-Outer-Space?affiliate_id=17596]Starfarer Adversaries: Cannibal Clowns from Outer Space[/URL] Starfinder [b]Cannibal Clown From Outer Space:[/b] No one knows where the Grimaldi Strain came from. Part nanite swarm, part viral infection, part curse, part Ungol dust, the dreadful material just began appearing as a mysterious residue in reports. Reports of abandoned hospitals, burned orphanages, and blood-soaked circus tents. Report of places that had been destroyed. Torn apart. Consumed. By Cannibal Clowns. From Outer Space. The Grimaldi Strain is a technomagical microscopic material that turns humanoids, and sometimes other creatures, into clown-faced, pseudo undead, flesh-eating horrors. The best guess is that the Grimaldi Strain was designed as some kind of hybrid prototype to weaponize civilian populations, and the ridiculous clown theme all creatures infected by it are transformed into was selected simply to make it easy to determine if the Strain was having any effect on test populations. If that IS its origin the joke is on the creators, whoever they are, because the Strain clearly broke loose from its testing conditions and has become a serious threat throughout the galaxy. Thankfully, the Grimaldi Strain is not easily transmitted from one creature to another. Only helpless victims that have been held by cannibal clowns for a week or more can be infected with the Grimaldi Strain. When a creature is transformed by the Grimaldi Strain, it undergoes a genetic and magical transformation. It becomes a clownlike creature, though the exact type of clown varies based on many factors including the race of the victim, the original race of the cannibal clown, local weather, and what’s popular on any nearby infosphere broadcast. [b]Cannibal Clown Buffoon:[/b] Once transformed, regardless of what style of clown it is, the creature becomes a Buffoon, the lowest-rank of cannibal clown. [b]Cannibal Clown Tramp:[/b] Buffoons often don’t eat for weeks, but once they do, they become Tramps. [b]Cannibal Clown Wiseguy:[/b] At some hard-to-define tipping point of experience and gluttony, a Tramp becomes more horrifically twisted (and often larger), and turns into a Wiseguy.
