Homebrew Jinx Species Details

Nobody knows what jinxes did to deserve their fate. Some say that they descend from a halfling who broke all laws of hospitality and was forever cursed by Yondalla's children. Some believe that they were created to make up for the lucky halflings, so that the cosmic scale of fate remains in balance. Whatever the case may be, the reality is that jinxes naturally attract misfortune wherever they go.

Trademark Feature

You are naturally unlucky, which affects you and anyone around you, friend or foe. At the end of each long rest, the GM rolls a d100 on the table below to find out the effects of your bad luck. If the GM feels like the effect rolled is unlikely to happen within that day, they roll again. The GM then selects who or what is the target of your bad luck, and when the effect takes place. The effects of your bad luck can affect any creature (including you) or any object within 100 feet of you. The GM should evenly distribute the effects of your bad luck between you, your party, and NPCs (including enemies) within that 100 feet radius. Once the effect has taken place, you gain the ability to impose disadvantage on any dice roll, even those related to abilities or effects you are not aware of, provided the creature affected by the disadvantage is within 100 feet of you. Once you’ve imposed this disadvantage, the GM rolls on the table again, and so on.

At the end of a long rest, any effects that have not yet taken place, including your ability to impose disadvantage, are discarded and the GM rolls on the table again.
