Someone failed their saving through vs. Hot Goth Chick?
Sorry I don't remember more of the details, but to be honest, I wasn't really blown away by the deathtouched in that article. In Eberron, for instance, I could see a few deathtouched coming about as a result of generations of people living within a manifest zone of Mabar or Dolurrh, for instance, but even that feels kind of weak to me.
I thought the half-ghoul was kind of cool, though. Pretty implausible, barring a Blade, Vampire Slayer sort of origin, but flipped the right switches for me anyhow. *shrug*
