[Chivalry] Effects of karma

Does anyone know how much karma affects Remove Curse or have a formula to determine the chance of success?

Would Remove Curse work at all on a Dread Lord?

Unless it's changed, it would practically be zero if the person or critter that cursed you had any reasonable amount of evaluate intelligence. Basically, negative karma greatly effects paladins. Lower karma means crappier healing from clsoe wounds, more damage from cleanse by fire, less chance to remove a curse, and the duration of your buffs is a lot shorter.

I recalled this was in one of the recent Five on Fridays, so just found it and here is what was stated:

"How is your chance to remove a curse with Chivalry's Remove Curse spell determined?"

(This is my first solo foray into reading the server code, so bear with me :) )

Your chance at success is entirely determined by your karma (referring to Stratics' Fame and Karma chart will give you an approximate idea of your numeric Karma, which will be important in a minute.) If you have negative Karma, your chance to succeed is the square root of 20000 - your (absolute) karma (so remove the negative sign there), and then subtract 122 from the result. This means at just barely negative (-1) you'll have about a 20% chance of success, but at about -5000 (Tier 4 - Evil, etc - and below) you'll have a 0% chance. Dread Lords need not apply!

If your Karma is dead neutral (0) or positive, the chance is determined by taking the square root of your karma and then adding 25. This works out to a 25% chance of success at 0 karma, and 100% chance of success at 5600 or so - a little ways in to Tier 4 (Illustrious, etc.)
So Dread Lord wouldn't be able to use Remove Curse at all and best can hope for with any negative karma is 20% chance.
