have the clown's clumsiness mutation cause you not to trip

[BaneOfGiygas]

something to balance this idea

have the clown conveniently have clown-shoe sized feet to help prevent tripping

and as for wearing non-clown shoes

let's just say that it would be extremely painful

I like this. Reduced tripping with clown shoes, lots of tripping without em

Upon further consideration, I second this notion. Should dissuade clowns from soiling the name of their profession by not wearing their shoes.

Also, I'll admit that I haven't played clown very much recently so I dunno if the trip chances were recently upped or something. It never seemed that bad from my observations, hence my initial reaction to the thread.
