Born Unlucky: Difference between revisions

** This is made reference to (in hilarious [[Lampshade Hanging]] fashion, no less) when Magica DeSpell curses Scrooge [[McDuck]] with 'the Mother of all Hexes'. Scrooge at one point laments that his mystically-enforced casualties wouldn't even happened to Donald (and that's really saying something!).

*** Donald is so unlucky that he cannot even capitalize on it (winning the "Unluckiest Man in the World"-contest, working as a [[Butt Monkey]] for hire). In both cases his luck completely turned around and he was exceedingly lucky- at least until his grumpy customers/spectators were out of eyesight.

* Poor [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]], he's so unlucky it's taken this long for him to be mentioned. He's even mumbled the page quote more than a few times. It should be noted his poor luck has been both played for laughs and done seriously.

* Tootles from ''[[Peter Pan]]''.

* One splatbook for ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' attempted to introduce this with the "Jupiter Descending" flaw - an extra die would be rolled every time, with said die capable of subtracting a success from the roll. The problem is that it was only a one-in-ten chance of taking place, and was worth enough points to become a [[Minmaxer's Delight]].

* The short-lived [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Role-Playing Game had the unlucky hindrance. Whenever a card check (in lieu of dice) would be made involving this character, another card would be drawn from the deck and the card that was worse for the unlucky player would be used. Yes, [[Spider-Man]] had this hindrance.
