    Default Re: List of Fun Cursed Items?

    There are many cursed items in my players' loot piles. (Part of the campaign)
    I roll them up the same way you normally roll loot, then roll for each item roll to see if its cursed and use the tables in the DMG to help determine the curse effect.
    Here's a dump of a few that I rolled up recently.
    Keep in mind that identify has a 1% chance per CL to reveal that an item is cursed, and analyze dweomer always reveals that items are cursed.

    Medal of the Less than Gallant
    1,350 gp, throat, Faint Abjuration CL3
    This Silver Brooch is shaped like the sun. A golden cabochon adorns the center.
    Curse: Opposite Effect
    Upon casting identify upon this item, it appears to be a Medal of Gallantry, MIC pg. 116)
    However, when donned, it actually provides a +2 bonus to bluff and -2 penalty to diplomacy. Three times a day the Medal can be activated, creating a silvery aura around the wearer. When the wearer is attacked, the attacker is affected by the spell Mindless Rage. (Will DC 15 negates.) The wearer can remove the amulet at any time, unless they are affected by the rage. The rage can only be dispelled by a Remove Curse spell, however it ends when the duration of the spell is up.
    Analyze Dweomer reveals the actual function of the medal which registers the spell, Mindless Rage.

    Qual's Feather Token: Whip of Backlash
    Curse: Opposite Effect, removed by Remove Curse
    Upon casting identify upon this item, it appears to be a Qual's Feather Token: Whip.
    However, when activated, ropes spring from the token, entangling the user. This effect acts like the spell, Entangle, however, an escape artist or strength check does not free the victim, and the victim can move, but at half speed. Attempts to cut the ropes cause more to grow out of nowhere. Only a Remove Curse spell can unentangle the victim.


    Amulet of Wyrm's Bite
    1,350 gp, throat
    CL 12 Strong Transmutation Moderate Conjuration
    This necklace consists of a leather thong strung with dragons teeth.
    Upon casting identify upon this item, it appears to be a Wyrmfang Amulet (MIC148.)
    The amulet functions normally, however, it also has a drawback. When donned, the wearer grows unwieldy fangs that cause 20% spell failure for all spells she casts that have verbal components. The wearer also becomes vulnerable to one energy type while the amulet is worn, determined randomly each time it is donned. The vulnerability remains for one hour after the amulet is removed.
    Nothing prevents the wearer from removing the amulet. The energy vulnerability can be dispelled by Dispel Magic or Remove Curse, after the amulet is taken off.
    Analyze Dweomer reveals the actual effects of the amulet which registers the spell, Magic Fang and Bestow Curse.


    Undesirably Effective Vest of Resistance
    Torso, 4,000gp
    CL 10, Moderate Abjuration
    This elegantly styled white leather vest is edged in silver piping and has silver buttons.
    Upon casting Identify upon this item, it appears to be a Vest of Resistance +2. (MIC 147.) When donned the vest functions normally, however it has a drawback. The DC of any spell, spell like ability, supernatural or extraordinary ability that the wearer uses while donning the vest is reduced by 2. Nothing prevents the wearer from removing the vest.
    Analyze Dweomer reveals the actual effects of the vest, which registers the spell, Resistance.
