This skill allows the character to curse another character when they are killed. The curse is enacted when the character leaves their body after being at the Brink of Death. The player should announce the curse to the offending character and the effect is immediate. There is no defense to this skill except for the Resist or Resist Curse abilities.
The curse can be removed by the character or by a clan’s leader. Otherwise, the character must find a way to remove the curse. As with other curses, this curse will stay with the character even if they are killed. Below are the curses a character can use. They can choose a curse for their level or any lower level.
