the curse of lantern king? lol

[diogoqv83]

So i just hit the last chapter of this abominable game and i got a cuuuuuuuurse! Oh my gooosh! Whats in the curse??? 40% of chances i ll hit a one in dices. I couldnt stop laughing. This is a freaking bonus! Only 40% ???? Then i start to fight and?? and??? Yes! Yes! I never hitted so much crap in this ♥♥♥♥. Worst game i ever played in my life. The most long, the most disgusting garbage i ever seen. The terrible curse gave me a boom. Now i get the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one only 40%, its not 70% anymore. Can i stay cursed until the end? Please, please. Can i import the curse for a new game? Kidding, ill just uninstall this crap when iam done. Who ever made this piece of fith should be sued with all the lapdogs.

Why have you been playing the game for weeks if you hate it so much? Sunk cost fallacy or something?

You didn't thing to spend some chump change or a scroll or potion to take care of that sort of thing????

I have a mage that can do restoration if you need some help..lol. I have gotten so many curses over the game, i learned i need to do this. OP thought this would be a easy rpg like final fantasy which is what i call the hand holding rpg's. This is a hardcore one. Try undungeon, it is even harder than this one and i beat it twice.

The first thing l learned to do even table topping was to buy some remove curse scrolls and potions Been doing this stuff off and on since the seventies.

Ive been doing it quite awhile too. Used to play D@D in the 1980's. I had some 1970's manual's too.

Unless you have a generous GM, remove curse seems like a poor investment in tabletop since it depends on a roll (1d20 + 5 vs. the curse DC).

Plus, in this game, remove curse won't help at all with the OP topic. Doesn't mean this thread deserved any responses - just pointing out remove curse logic.

Last chapter is a perfect place for deadly earth/cloud/wall abuse . They can`t miss, dmg is reasonable enough to not worry about dmg reduction and they are not affected by spell level restriction.

"Accidentally programmed to do quadruple damage" apparently means "damage is reasonable enough", lol.

He said curse repeatedly. If he meant level drain or stat loss he should have said so,

Have you played the game? Have you seen the Curse of the Lantern King??

Yes, it's a curse. No, you can't get rid of it via Remove Curse. It's a story curse - you get rid of it by continuing the story.

Even if you could get rid of it via remove curse, 1d20+5 caps at 25 which is almost certainly less than what the curse DC would be. Even in a tabletop game, 1d20+5 seems like a poor investment of 375gp, but that certainly depends on the GM.

I think it's pretty obvious that neither of those two played the game that far or invested some time into at least looking up a summary of the game's story, plot line so on. It's sadly not that uncommon to meet this kind of "I know it all, I've been playing since x years." tabletop players even at a real table. Bragging with their knowledge & experience whether it's correct or helpful, just to kinda toot their own horn.

Not been that far no nor am I ever likely to get there but a scroll savant uses scrolls at caster level doesn't he? And in this case it is a plot device not really your standard curse either. This was also not made clear in the OP.
