Clown

Clowns are carefree, lighthearted jokesters and entertainers who metaphysically feed on the laughter of others. They can use the healing power of laughter to treat the sick and injured, but only if the patient truly finds them funny. It’s rare to encounter a clown, but not unexpected. Clowns bring joy and cheer to audiences of all ages.

Laughter is the Best Medicine. Causing someone to laugh can be a palliative to body and soul. You have a pool of points equal to your level x 5. Using your action, you can expend up to 5 points per level you have. You can use this power to make someone within 60 feet of you and able to hear you regain hit points equal to the number of points you expend.
