Voidborn is one of the choices of homeworld the player can choose for their Rogue Trader during character creation.


Voidborn are humans birthed in the belly of a void vessel or aboard an ancient orbital satellite. Those who have lived their lives on voidships become inured to some extent due to the reality-altering process of warp travel and to living in low- or zero-gravity environments. In many cases, their features are drawn and their skin pallid. They may even have minor deformities, or a strangeness to their speech, gait, or general appearance that sets them apart from others.

Talents

Talent Description
Bloody Mess Any time a voidborn character scores a critical hit, there is a 10% chance to double the damage.
Contagious Luck Using a non-damaging ability on an ally grants that ally the ability to re-roll any failed attack, dodge, parry, characteristic, or skill test with a 20% chance of success for 1 round. This chance cannot be greater than the base success chance of the roll. Using a non-damaging ability on an enemy grants them a 20% chance to fail a successful dodge or parry test against any character for 1 round.
Just a Flesh Wound The voidborn character has a 20% chance to survive after suffering lethal damage, surviving with 1 wound.
Jinx While a voidborn character has more than 50% wounds, all chances of all creatures (including enemies) in a 3-cell radius are increased by +10%. While a voidborn character has less than 50% wounds, all chances of all creatures (including enemies) in a 3-cell radius are decreased by −10%.
Be Smart Any time an ability or talent uses the Fellowship bonus, a voidborn character can instead use the Intelligence bonus, if it is higher. Additionally, voidborn characters can always upgrade Intelligence even if their archetype does not allow it.
