BUILDING A CHARACTER
THE CURSES PAGE
To continue building your character you will want to go to the Tab titled Curses. Once on the Curses tab you can continue building your character. Here you will find info for combining Curse Components to create Curses, or Curse Lists. Some Curses may be composed of several Components, but most will be composed of just one, or have other Components as Alternate Effects which is called an Array. A Curse List is typically a list of simple Curses linked in some way, such as those gained from a cursed item, or those gained from Ranks in Corruption.
