The curse lasts until taking a [[Long Rest]] or using the [[Remove Curse]] spell. If the character made the successful prayer check beforehand, they might unlock a dialogue choice of a second Ability which will receive a permanent +2 bonus (up to 24). Memory dialogue choice that triggers this additional dialogue is random and not class-specific, with "incorrect" choices yielding only curse and no boon. | ||
