Fate-Touched

Fate-Touched is a term first used by the Raven Queen to refer to Vax'ildan. She later tells him that it means that he influences the threads of fate near him. It is indicated that he is not the only fate-touched, but he is the only known one.

In the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, Fate-Touched is an available background, intended to be assigned by the DM rather than chosen by a player. According to this setting, fate-touched individuals rarely know of their abilities. Its feature, Fortune's Grace, grants a single Luck point, similar to those in the Lucky feat.

In the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, Fate-Touched is a supernatural blessing, still intended to be assigned by the DM. It is suggested that there might be a connection, for some fate-touched, to Ruidus. The feature remains the same, though it does include the clarification that if the reroll applies to a roll made with advantage or disadvantage, both dice are re-rolled.

Matt developed this feature for Liam during Campaign 1 due to some difficult events Liam was having in his personal life, and found it particularly fitting once Vax made a pact with the Matron of Ravens.
