Their body starts to sweat profusely and their flesh bubbles with extreme heat. The survivor must roll a **hit location** dice on the King's Curse table. A survivor cannot gain more than one piece of regal gear per lantern year. Every piece of the Regal Armor set is **cursed**. ![[Cursed]] When a survivor completes the Regal Armor set (has all 5 pieces), they lose their humanity and become a **King's Man**. Filled with a sense of urgent purpose, the survivor marches off into the darkness. The survivor can no longer be controlled by a player. Discard their record sheet. They are dead. ### Table Roll hit location die.
