Notes

• When a member of the party is affected by the Shadow Curse, the game automatically enters Turn-Based Mode.
• Damage from the Shadow Curse caps out at 16d4 (16~64)⁠⁠Necrotic per turn.
• NPCs and enemies that are not already undead receive the condition  Umbral Influx when killed, then revive with half their HP and the  Shadow-Cursed Undead condition if killed without protection from it.
• Effective means of avoiding the Shadow Curse include:
  • Lit Torches, nearby braziers, and other environmental light sources
  • Spells that emit light, such as  Light,  Dancing Lights,  Produce Flame, or  Daylight
  • Pieces of magical equipment that naturally emit light, such as  The Blood of Lathander
  •  Blessing of Selûne
  •  Pixie Blessing
  • A  Moonlantern or  Shadow Lantern carried in the active weapon set or placed on the ground nearby.
  • Using  Remove Curse to remove the condition. However, leaving and re-entering an affected area re-applies the condition.
• Within deeper pockets of the Shadow Curse, such as the area surrounding the Reithwin Town waypoint, weaker light sources may be immediately snuffed out. In these areas, only a  Pixie Blessing, Moonlantern or Shadow Lantern prevents the Shadow Curse from affecting the party.
• Enduring the Shadow Curse for two consecutive rounds without dying awards Inspiration to a character with the Outlander background.
