Before I could utilize the Clown ability and change the faces of the die the player with the Witch card was able to reroll one of the dice. The witch card only allows a reroll if I was about to cause damage. I did NOT get the chance to choose the faces that I wanted (which were not going to be stomp attack) and ended up getting re-rolled out of the set and essentially lost my turn even though I had not selected to attack.• Which browser are you using?

However, this is a valid comment. Unless the behaviour set out above is changed, Clown is often useless because a player with Witch can break the "all six faces" roll.
(Unless of course, the player with Clown and the player with Witch are both outside Tokyo.)

Charliepat, with Clown, rolls 123[heart][lightning][claw]. Mathew5000 is in Tokyo, and uses Witch to reroll the [claw] to a 2. Charliepat had been trying (on this turn, and during the whole game) to activate Clown with 123[heart][lightning][claw]. It cannot have been the game designer's intention that another player with Witch would destroy the effect of Clown.
The way it should work is this: a player holding Clown who resolves dice to 123[heart][lightning][claw] activates Clown BEFORE Witch is activated. Then that player (with Clown) resets all the dice to whatever they choose, and clicks "Resolve dice" a second time. At this point, if any of the dice is a [claw], and a player about to get smashed is holding Witch, then that player can reroll one of the dice.
The way I've described it should work follows the literal wording of the cards, and is more in the spirit of the game.
