Remove Curse

Level 3 Abjuration spell available to Clerics, Warlocks, and Wizards. Strips every Curse and Hex from a creature or an object. It does nothing at all until the moment it does everything, which is a fair description of most Abjuration.

When to cast Remove Curse

It strips Hex, which is the reason to have it in a fight. An enemy Warlock hexing your Fighter is a real problem, and this deletes it in one Action rather than waiting it out.

Outside combat it is the answer to cursed items, and the game is full of them. There are weapons and pieces of armour that are genuinely excellent apart from the curse attached, and Remove Curse quietly turns them into free upgrades.

It does not cure everything. It removes Curses and Hexes, not diseases, not poison, not conditions. Lesser Restoration is a different spell for a different problem, and confusing the two at the wrong moment is expensive.

It is not Concentration and it does not need to be prepared in advance if you have the scroll, which is usually the sensible way to carry it. Very few parties want to give up a prepared slot for it every day.
