    Perform in general: Part of a performance is making your audience feel a particular way. If you're forced to interject something that serves an opposed purpose at select points, yes, it causes a serious crimp in the performance.
    Use Magic Device: What happens when you're forced to use a curse word in the middle of attempting to use a command word? "Abraka*&!?dabra. Huh, it didn't work..."
    Handle Animal: What happens when you're forced to use a curse word in the middle of a command? "Fe*&!?tch. Wait, why didn't you go get... oh."
    Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

    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.

    FYI, Magic Items grow independent of the magic of size increases (they change to fit the wearer unless they have explicit size categories). As a curse item it is still works though.

When the bag has no items in it the creatures hide within it's confines and are impossible to detect as they only make their presence known once an item disturbs their lair. The bag never runs out of creatures.

    Do note that's "per caster level" - so at 5th level, it's a 5% chance. Granted, that's still not much, but it's worth noting.

    You know whether it's cursed or not even before you cast the spell, but only if you still cast it anyway. Magic!

    well if you want to be fun you can go with an item that cant be gotten rid of without normal means of doing so (mirical wish remove curse) have it either constently have some critique on the player and tell them how to do their job better, consistently tell lies, but every now and then gives a useful bit of info making hte players second guess everything it says, and for kicks make it visable and audible to only the one player.


    boots of the noosed theif- boots give a +x sneak modifier, however the boots make an loud squeek when walking, granting a -x to sneak, cannot remove with miricale wish or remove curse. (x being the number)

    amulet of truth - amulet glows brightly and make loud sounds if wearer attempts to lie. (again cannot remove without blah blah blah) (could also just not allow players to lie but thats kinda less fun)

    potion of cure light thirst- water with perma predisitation cast on it to make it cool, this way its reall yjust water with a minor magical enchantment to detect magic works. you can make it smell and taste like another actual potion if you use descriptions to really mess with them.

    sword or remorse +x - cries causes weilder to cry uncontrolably if the sword slays a creature.

    glove of inappropriate conduct - grants either slight of hands or preform bonous, but randomly requires a will save or causes hands to either (slight of hand) attempt to group self or others (preform) make a rude gesture twords another.

    wand of turbulet footing- casts grease as a personal range

    goblet of thirst - all fluid in this goblet turns to sand, flavored as the fluid place into it, when sand is poured out, it dissappears.

    bedroll of nonsesne - user expericence random dreams about his party (possibly about the next day) but all party members are in the form of ponies rabbits and dolphins (with legs) all other creatures in the dream are represented as clowns(jestures)

    ring of question - makes weares hand appear as the oppisites gender.

    Then when you cast the spell, you roll your percentile die. If the result on your percentile die is less than or equal to the caster level in question, then you successfully know whether or not the item is cursed.

    How is this hard?

    Robe of Malfunctioning Wardrobe -

    On appearence, this robe is very stylish and eye catching, with vivid colours and sparkling threads. When equipped, two things happen:

    From the wearers perspective, it appears to be a normal robe when looking in mirrors & reflective surfaces, or when the character is looking down at themselves.

    From everyone else's perspective, the wearer appears to be naked. A magical aura extending 200ft from the robe prevents anyone from informing the wearer of this effect, be it through verbal, written or gestured means.

    I was going to DM a special April Fools campaign (didn't happen, no one was able to make it) So I ended up creating several cursed items and traps for it.

    Vorpal Spoon- Looks like an ordinary spoon, with the Vorpal capability.

    Cursed Porn Stash- You find a large box, filled with magazines of certain PC races (With titles that reflect such). Upon reading more than the front cover, the PC must make a will save (DC=15) or take the Moe Weakness flaw until they have remove curse cast upon them. http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Moe_Weakness_(3.5e_Flaw).

    Yuan-Ti in a box- Upon finding a small wind-up Jack in the Box, upon completion of the tune, an insane Yuan-Ti abomination dressed as a jester jumps out of the box and attacks the party (DC=18 reflex save to not be caught flat footed)

    Crystal Ball of Fascination- Upon looking into the crystal ball, you find yourself inable to look away without a suitable will save (DC=20) you are compelled to remain viewing the lives of others obsessively. Roll percentile for who is viewed, at the DM's discretion it is possible to view someone who is plot relevant (Thus a percent chance should be added for this person/group being viewed), and as such the character may gain useful information.

    Glitterdrinks- These sweet tasting beverages cause the imbiber to violently expel a glitter-like cloud for 3 rounds after drinking, rendering them stunned for the duration. No save.

    Wand of Random Fireballs - When cast the DM rolls a d20 and times the result by 5. This result is the radius of the fireball. Also when the wand get to about 5 charges left the dice roll is lowered by 5, 10, 15, 20 (min 1 on all) and then the final charge rolls a 40.

    Wand of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs - Exactly what it says on the tin.

    The wand that cannot make up its mind - This wand cannot decide which of the following spells to cast: Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Acid Arrow, Shout and Ice Storm. Therefore it picks randomly after each casting. When identified it appears to be a wand of whatever spell is readied at the moment.

    My favorite to use is a sword that looks like it is made out of stone and twigs, with rope tied around the whole thing making it look very fragile, but when someone casts Detect Magic on it, it shows itself to be a +4 Longsword. When someone picks it up it functions as a +4 Longsword, but the ropes rap around the users hand, forcing them to always hold onto the sword. Any attempt to release the sword causes the ropes to grip tighter. The ropes can't be cut by axes or swords or knives, and the only thing that can get rid of them is either complete amputation of the limb, or a Remove Curse.

    Because it is so strong though, the last player I used this on decided he really didn't need to use that hand that bad anyways. Got him in trouble later on when asked to sheath his weapon during parlay and couldn't.

    Ring of Sleepless Hunger - Identifies as a Ring of Sustenance but actually doubles the amount of food and water a character needs to eat each day. It however still reduces the amount of sleep a character needs each night just like a Ring of Sustenance does. I had a PC in one of my campaigns get this and decide the curse wasn't that big a deal, so he spent several levels eating everything in sight. Was pretty fun.

    Wand of Confusion: acts as some other wand, but whenever a spellcaster holding it attempts to cast a spell, it comes out as a spell of the same level for a different class. For example, a wizard might cast Fireball (using the proper material components and everything), but the result is that of Cure Serious Wounds (on the same targets) instead.

    Bracer of the Rat. This bone bracer compels rats to gather and aid the bearer in battle. The armlet digs into the flesh of the bearer and cannot be removed in one whole piece and must be broken off and pulled from the skin bit by bit. Rats gather around the wearer if possible forming a ring of rats several feet out. The rats attack anyone who harms the bearer or they are directed towards. Each day the Bracer will attract a swarm of rats up to a maximum of two as the rats already present begin to starve because they do nothing but watch the bearer and follow him.
