They take 20 damage, even if the new roll is re-rolled.The blighted is a powerful talent, but could easily be calleda curse. It causes uncontrollable disasters to happenconstantly, both to the blighted themselves, as well astheir allies and even their enemies. The only advantagethat the Blighted has is that they can unleash this badluck on their enemies selectively, bringing their own fateto others.The Blighted appear as normal members of whateverrace they belong to, except that they have the tendencyto develop dark markings, patterns that appear as aphysical blight. They have the longevity of whateverrace that is, assuming they can survive the mishapsand catastrophes that they bring down around them.They vary greatly in temperament, coping withtheir ill-luck in many ways. They have no homeland.Their curse can appear among any race or any locale,and are often the result of some nefarious curse orother interference.Blighted are often feared and hated. They might calltheir career adventuring, but it is more likely that theyare simply driven from place to place. This meansthat they rarely have the good fortune to accumulatesignificant wealth, and so are condemned to live theirlives as vagrants.“Fell like trying your luck? Try mine instead.”64
