You curse the target to fail in all avenues of its life that require drive and ambition, as it inadvertently undermines its own goals at every turn. The effect is based on the target's Will save.
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success For 1 hour, the target rolls twice and uses the lower result on initiative rolls.
Failure For 1 day, the target rolls twice and uses the lower result on initiative rolls and any check to determine the success of a downtime activity.
Critical Failure As failure, but the duration is unlimited.
Traits
An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
A curse is an effect that places some long-term affliction on a creature. Curses are always magical and are typically the result of a spell or trap. Effects with this trait can be removed only by effects that specifically target curses.
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
A mental effect can alter the target's mind. It has no effect on an object or a mindless creature.
A misfortune effect detrimentally alters how you roll your dice. You can never have more than one misfortune effect alter a single roll. If multiple misfortune effects would apply, the GM decides which is worse and applies it. If a fortune effect and a misfortune effect would apply to the same roll, the two cancel each other out, and you roll normally.
