Suggestion - Cursed Items

[AussieEngineer]

Hey guys,

My suggestion is for cursed items that when looted appear to be a certain item, but on equipping, is something else and cannot be removed without remove curse or something.

This is based on the cursed items that I vaguely recall from PnP based play.

It occurred to me last night as my group and I were running a quest, and someone looted some <prefix> boots of striding.
I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if you could get cursed items, and it turned out to be 'boots of stumbling'", where as soon as they were equipped, you are constantly knocked prone every few steps until you can get them off...

Eh, just an idle thought I had... sure it could be annoying, but also funny! lol.

Then you can add the 'identify' spell, and have it show up cursed items, and hidden properties (or have a bard examine the item).

You have to admit, it would be good for some laughs.

Oh oh oh, and boots of speed or striding, that once you equip, you just start auto running, and can't stop! lol.
That would be great! (now i'm going to have these ideas coming to me all during my day at work). lol.

demonic consort and alot of cursed crypt items have hidden cursed effects, such as level drain, curse and lower saves and cripple.

how about jinx's vexation

+5 mithril full plate, but it comes with an untyped -2 to will save, not as drastic as the aforementioned Rabbit's Foot, but I will was still wondering why my lvl 12 fighter was being held by lvl 5 kobold shamans

Aren't there already cursed items ?

Let say you run the Titan regularly, and for the time in who knows how many months the group gets a reward : its a rattle charm.

Wouldn't you be cursing?


I can come up with more examples.

I think a lot of people would consider the Soveriegn Runes from Sorjak to be cursed....

Sorry, couldnt resist...
