Homebrew Clownfolk Species Details

Clownfolk have a part of their brain that causes them to become psychopathic, though not like other beings, their psychopathy is controlled. The impulses they would have if they were not a Clownfolk are existent, though completely manageable. These beings tend to be murderous by choice though some are more peaceful than others and end people quicker than others. Every Clown has 1 specific mental disability (I.E. one could have Aphasia and the next could have D.I.D. but all Clownfolk have Psychopathy.) All Clownfolk are Bards or Rogues, no exceptions.
