Category:Curse

Curses may have either a stated effect ("All your hair will fall out"), or it may be more generic ("misfortune & bad luck"). Exceptions to this will be stated with the individual curse. Unless otherwise noted, a curse need be carried out to neither full effect nor duration—the caster can lift his or her curses at any time. A victim need not be aware of a curse, but cursing them directly (face-to-face) reduces their saving throw by -4; cursing them indirectly (crude picture of them with a knife stuck through it, left on their porch) is half of this, -2. Much of the power of a curse is in the victim's knowledge of it; an unaware victim receives his full saving throw. Again, exceptions listed in the individual spell description will override this.
