How do I remove curses?

[Exarch_Alpha]

Astarion got a constitution one and -5 is EXTREMELY annoying.

Try Remove curse. Not joking here, Clerics have a level 3 spell called Remove curse.

Spell casters (Clerics etc) always has something for curses and such.

"Clerics, Paladins, Warlocks, and Wizards can access and use Remove Curse. Considering that Clerics and Paladins don’t have to “learn” any of their spells and have access to their full spell sheet from the beginning, their only restriction is their level. Fortunately, Remove Curse is available to all Clerics from level five onward."

Also if you don't have that spell to hand most will go on a Long Rest.

Curses usually don't, so if you don't have access to that spell yet, Astarion could have an "accident" near a bottomless pit and after resurrection the curse should be gone.

The -5 Con curse comes from the shadows in the shadowcursed lands and does indeed go away after a long rest ^^

Well in my game Shadow Fart died because I didn´t let her kill Aylin lol. So I have no "canon" cleric

Guess I´ll have to buy a hireling. Or check my magicians to see who has the remove curse spell (looked at the wiki).

Thanks for the answers.

You didn't read the tool tip? when you mouse over a curse etc? usually it tells you whats up. You should have put more info than just what you wrote.

Like, "I got this curse when I got to the shadowcursed lands" etc. But glad there was someone who knew exactly how to get rid of it.

You can also buy a scroll of remove curse and teach Gale the spell, that works too.
If, for any handy reasons you don't have Gale in your party either, remove curse scrolls are actually not that expensive and quite abundant in act 3, so you can just stock up on those.

I went and checked, the curse that gives -5 CON doesn't go away on Long rest and the one from Shadows that decreases HP maximum, does.

But anyway, Remove curse works and hireling will work.

Huh, I must've misremembered, thank you for clarifying!

Edit: yup, I misremembered, the curse OP was talking about comes from a book in act 3 and actually leads to a neat buff once disspelled. So I would go with the remove curse scroll or hireling, rather than killing and reviving Astarion.

You can be stabbed, cut open, crushed, electrocuted, doused in acid, poisoned, gutted, burned, flash-frozen, hit with necrotic energy, paralyzed, blinded and more and all it takes to make you better is some magic juice or magic words.
But if you dislocate your shoulder, the only thing that will heal that is rest or death.

Hmmm, most of those sound like skin/flesh/internal injuries. The "crushed" one is closer since it has to do with bones (being damaged)

I mean, if Riggs from Lethal Weapon can dislocate and relocate his shoulder at will, why can't these characters? all you need is a wall xP and some rest time, obviously.

Just from the list alone, it's pretty awesome. In other games, I'm just used to the typical status effects but with this game, everything plays a part, especially in combat. Sorry.. don't mean to derail this topic. OP got the answer they needed and more.
