DERRO MADNESS
All derro suffer from a form of madness that most often
manifests as mania and paranoia, but other mental
afflictions and strange tics also commonly affect them.
Derro take little notice of odd behavior in their ranks,
except when an individual displays the characteristics
of a savant. They believe the strange behavior of savants
arises because those leaders carry messages from Diir-
inka. You can use the Derro Madness table to generate
one or more odd qualities for a derro NPC.
