Description

"A Hex that toys with a victim's suffering."

Each time you hook a Survivor for the first time, if there is at least one Dull Totem in the environment, Hex: Fortune's Fool activates and lights a Hex Totem:

• Causes that Survivor to suffer permanently from the Oblivious Status Effect.
• Blocks their Hex Totem from being cleansed by any other Survivor for 90 seconds.
• The Aura of their Hex Totem is revealed to the Cursed Survivor within 24/20/16 metres.

All effects of the Hex Perk persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed or blessed.

Change Log

Patch 9.0.0

• Change: following the departure of CHAPTER 21: Hellraiser™ from Dead by Daylight in March 2025, this Patch changes Hex: Plaything depending on whether or not Players own the Chapter or not:
  • For Players owning CHAPTER 21, the Perk remains unchanged as a Unique Perk belonging to The Cenobite.
    • This includes the original name, icon and flavour text.
  • For all other Players, the Perk is changed into a General Perk available to all Killers, renaming it to Hex: Fortune's Fool, but retaining its original icon.

Trivia

• Survivors suffering from the Blindness Status Effect are unable to see the Aura of their Hex Totem.
• If a Survivor is in the middle of cleansing a Dull Totem that the Game selects to become another Survivor's Hex Totem due to the effect of Hex: Fortune's Fool, the Cleansing action will be interrupted.
  Additionally, since other Survivors are unable to cleanse said Hex Totem for 90 seconds after its creation, the action cannot be resumed immediately.
