Curses are conditiotions that befall characters as they adventure. Characters may have curses lifted by having party members, NPCs, or other sources cast remove curse spell on the afflicted.
After each long rest, the character believes that it's current location to be its home. When the character travels more than 5 miles from what they believe to be their home, they begin to long for it. They find focusing on other things than their home and getting back to it. The character suffers a -5 penalty to Initiative Checks, and if an enemy talks about their home or homeland, the character becomes depressed and loses Proficiency on Skill Checks for 1 hour.
DM's looking for a harder way to remove curses should consider the following. Either rolling or having a set number of days that the Remove Curse spell must be cast in order to break it. A good rule of thumb is Spell Level = Days. If you are running a longer game maybe 1 spell level = 1 week.
