Nice basic layout. A curse of slander being considered little more than a mounted thug, too forceful in all situations, seems adequate. It fits nicely with uncontrollable strength. :slight_smile:

To boot, the Curse of Slander motivates Roland to stay at Triamore, where it is mitigated.

A Pious knight with that Curse might hence pose a nice challenge to Triamore covenant leaders. They need to play the political game (Prince-Bishop, Count of Namur, Emperor-to-be, ...) without getting affected by any fallout of his Curse, and without taking the cue from his name (Roncesvalles :face_with_raised_eyebrow:) and sacrificing a well-meaning hero.

Very Good.
