	::Moon Madness: On the three nights of the full moon, a giomorgo is filled with lunatic energies. When the moon rises, the giomorgo must make a Madness check; on their first failure, they slip away and run wild under the stars. On their second failure, they become aggressive during this nocturnal wandering. On their third failure, they act like a wild, violent beast until the moon changes its phase. Even if they succeed, they are still restless; they cannot heal wounds without magical aid, are utterly unable to memorize new spells, and suffer a -2 penalty on all saving throws until they can rest undisturbed for 8 hours.		::Moon Madness: On the three nights of the full moon, a giomorgo is filled with lunatic energies.

	In a nutshell, the Vistani themselves can't be PCs, because they're overpowered and that would ruin their intended use as clumsy DM railroading tools. So, instead, they can play the result of forbidden romances between the two races. This means that, ironically, this fundamentally human subshoot is even more heavily slapped with the edgy "broken families" origin than [[half-orc]]s are. Why? Because even when the conception of a half-vistani is voluntary - and they are very prone to being born of rape - the relationship never lasts. The Vistani suffer a curse that forces them to live a nomadic life, and when the xenophobia and superstitions of the giorgio (the Vistani's word for Ravenloft's native humans) combines with the Vistani's own arrogance and self-superiority, fracturing is inevitable.
