 +## Remove Curse
  
 +This spell is not changed from RAW, but please be aware that Ravenloft book DM section says:
 +
 +> While more general curses can lifted by a *remove curse* spell, more
 +> specific or dramatic curses can't be permanently lifted through
 +> spells. Magic can offer temporary respite, though. A *remove curse*
 +> spell cast on the victim of such a curse suppresses the burden for 1
 +> hour. A *greater restoration* spell suppresses the burden until the
 +> victim finishes a long rest. Death usually ends a curse, but the curse
 +> returns in full force if the cursed character returns to life without
 +> resolving the curse.
 +
 +These curses are called "more specific curses" and it's not always
 +clear diegetically which curses are "more specific curses" and which
 +are more your vanilla every day curse.

 +## Cavalier 
 + 
 +### Reckful Fighting 
 + 
 +As a houserule, the cavalier gets a level 3 feature called "Reckful 
 +Fighting"; they can make attacks with disadvantage even when they are 
 +otherwise dodging. They can not do this if they already have 
 +disadvantage, but they can if they had advantage (and will now fight 
 +normally). Cavaliers are already one of the best classes in the game 
 +but I want to buff them even more. It's the opposite of the 
 +barbarian's "Reckless Attack". 
 + 
 +## Momentum attacks 
 + 
 +One-shot? Keep swinging! 
 + 
 +Whenever you one-shot an enemy with a mêlée attack, and have damage 
 +remaining, you get a free additional "momentum attack", but do not 
 +reroll any dice. Use the same to-hit roll result as previously, and 
 +the damage you had remaining from the last attack. You cannot move 
 +between the attacks. If you then one-shot another enemy, you get an 
 +other momentum attack, so can keep doing this as many times as you 
 +want as long as you've got damage remaining and enemies within reach. 
 + 
 +This is only for attacks against AC, not against their other saves, 
 +and not ranged attacks, and it's only for attacks against enemies with 
 +full HP. 
 + 
 +If you used mob rules to land the one-shotting attack instead of a 
 +dice roll, you've got to roll for the first of the momentum attacks. 
 +If that hits, you're golden. Otherwise, the attack is over. 
 + 
 +These momentum attacks are free, they're in addition to any bonus 
 +actions, extra attacks, offhand weapon attacks etc, but unlike them, 
 +you can never move before a momentum attack. It's limited to what you've 
 +already got in front of you and only works for mêlée attacks. 
 + 
 +Also unlike other variants of extra, bonus, and off-hand atttacks, 
 +you've got to keep selecting new targets even if the downed character 
 +is still alive (for example, they have death saves remaining). 
 + 
 +This replaces the "Cleave" option we used previously. This is available 
 +for all characters regardless of class or level. 
 + 
 +## Reckless Defense against mobs
  
-This is a reversal from my old house rule which was that only one party member could roll int checks to see if they had heard of something. +When a mob is attacking you, you can decide to defend recklessly. You 
-Now everyone can try, but the DC is going to be 19.+are desperately trying to fend off the attack, pushing yourself to the 
 +utmost of your capability. That doesn't cost any actions, it's free. 
 +Make a defense check, and that value replaces your static defense 
 +value against the mob this round.
  
-This is for stuff that adventurers, ordinary citizens, scholars, librarians, researchers, storytellers, barbers might know. There are secrets beyond their ken in which case it's not possible to roll.
