Curse (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

A curse is a great and terrible power that alters your life drastically. Curses are normally permanent, but can always be negated by performing the correct deeds. This might involve some semi-impossible taks, like taking a quest, making a net out of nettles and throwing it over the victim, or learning the secret name of a demon and speaking it backwards, but the laws of magic say that there is always a way to negate a curse. An imporant part of the cure is simply learning what must be done.

Obviously, curses serve well as adventure hooks.
