Effect: Upon casting
this spell, the cleric is usually able to remove
a curse
-- whether it be on an object,
a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence.
Effect.exception:
Note that the remove curse spell will not affect a cursed
shield,
weapon or suit of armor,
for example,
although the spell will
typically enable the person afflicted with any such cursed item to be rid
of it.
Shukenja:
The shukenja casting this spell may lift a curse upon an object, person,
or AREA. This spell does
not affect cursed magical items, but allows those
carrying such items to discard
them.
Wu Jen: Except as otherwise noted, this spell is similar to the 3d-level shukenja spell of the same name.
QUESTION: Is a curse removed at death so that when you are raised it is no longer with you?
ANSWER:It depends on the
curse.
If it is for eternity, then
you are stuck with it.
If it isn’t, then your DM
will have to examine the curse and make a ruling.
Remember, his or her decision
is final.
<cf. ancient
curse>
The reverse of the spell
is not permanent;
the bestow curse lasts for
1 turn for every level of experience of the cleric using the spell.
It will lower one ability
of the victim to 3 (your DM will determine which by random selection) 50%
of the time;
reduce the victim’s “to
hit” and saving throw probabilities by -4 25% of the time;
or make the victim 50% likely
per turn to drop whatever he, she, or it is holding (or simply do nothing
in the case of creatures not using tools) 25% of the time.
It is possible for a cleric
to devise his or her own curse, and it should be similar in power to those
shown. Consult your referee.
The target of a bestow curse
spell must be touched. If the victim is ntouched, a saving throw is still
applicable and if it is successful, the effect is negated.
Bestow Curse, Shukenja:
To CAST spell's esrever, bestow curse,
the shukenja must touch
the TARGET and the TARGET receives a save
which, if successful, negates
the spell. The bestow curse lasts for
one turn for every level
of the caster, and can have one of the following
effects:
01-50 | Lower one ability (random choice) to 3. |
51-75 | Reduce TARGET's to hit && saves by -4. |
76-00 | Cause TARGET to DROP any object held. |
Bestow Curse, Wu Jen:
Except as otherwise noted, this spell is similar to the 3d-level shukenja
spell of the same name.
