Playable space clown race/lineage

Ideas:


Space Clown

Ability Scores: Lineage Size: Medium Speed: 30 ft.

Creature Type. Your creature type is fiend rather than humanoid.

Squeakers. As an action, you can transform a pair of footwear you touch into squeakers that squeak when the wearer walks. The squeaking can be heard out to a range of 30 feet and lasts for 1 hour or until you use this trait again. If a creature is wearing the footwear when you use this action, it can make a Charisma saving throw to prevent the transformation. The DC for this saving throw is equal to 8 + your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier (choose when you select this race) + your proficiency bonus.

Circus Tricks. You know one of the following cantrips of your choice; friends, mage hand, prestidigitation or shocking grasp. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it (choose when you select this race). acid splash? (i.e. squirting flower)

Phantasmal Trickery. You can cast disguise self with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the mirror image spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level, when you cast disguise self, you can appear as a creature or object that is your size or one size smaller, such as a child or floating balloon. Once you cast any of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast these spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). Could rename to "Phantasmal Fuckery"

Only real diff between phantasmal form and disguise self (+ object) is concentration. Using disguise self instead is stronger and simpler. Hopefully it being only one free use and limited to an hour is enough to keep it getting too strong
