Raven Dark 12-15-05, 05:38 PM	I was just perusing my Spell Compendium when I stumbled upon a spell called GREATER BESTOW CURSE, essentially an 8th level version of Bestow Curse with permanent effects that are hard to get rid of. Like its lesser counterpart, it allows you to invent your own curses. This thread is dedicated to the creation of unique curses by those who wish to participate. I'll start. 1. Cause somebody to go blind, deaf, and mute. Being mute keeps the target from communicating his dillemma and getting help from his allies. 2. Cause the target to end every sentance by yelling "SO SAYETH THE PROPHECY!" It's just funny is all. 3. Cause a spellcaster to sneeze every time he tries to cast a spell. Spells with verbal components will automatically fail and those without verbal components will still need a concentration check. 4. Cause a bard to stutter when he sings and to stumble when he dances. 5. Make the local playboy impudent. 6. Cause the target to regurgitate after every meal. Slow starvation is a bad way to go. 7. Cause a thief (or similar sneak) to cry out "I'M HERE! I'M OVER HERE!" every time he tries to sneak. 8. Cause a conman to always tell the truth. 9. Cause a viscious fighter or tough barbarian chieftan to cry uncontrollably like a little girl. 10. Cause a hated enemy to smell like raw meat (so that dogs and carnivores take a liking to him). Who's next? :D :D :D
Pz.Az.04Maus 12-15-05, 05:54 PM	11. Target starts to have an epilectic seizure whenever he tries to defend himself. Falls to floor. 12. Target has his (or her) voice crack uncontrollably. (+10% chance of spell failure, perhaps? 13. Target vomits up blood whenever they have a liquid of any kind (slow dehydration, slow wasting of health). 14. Target has uncontrollable urge to destroy his/her own blade, most likely on their armor when in a situation that requires to use it. Target must sunder their blade (and 25% chance of wanting to also sunder the object theyre using to sunder their blade). 15. Target automatically stops fighting in combat and sings "Lollipop" until they are hit at least 3 times by something. They have to stand still while doing so. 16. Target has to say, "My Mother was a little innocent white bunny rabbit, and my father was a larch." (MNTY PYTHN REF). They have to do this once an hour, most likely when they're in something very importantly Diplomatic. They then have to kick the nearest Male in the nuts, and then run away like a little girl, giddy with laughter and chortling. This, they do every 30 minutes. That very instant that they try to kick a males nuts, their foot's mass magically changed to that of lead.
Jaid 12-15-05, 10:30 PM	5. Make the local playboy impudent.impotent. impudent means they are defiant, which i'm fairly sure is not what you meant :P
R.M.G.C.L.F. 12-15-05, 10:44 PM	Give them the Curse of Mezzleglap Transmutation Level: Wiz/Sorc2 Components:V,S,F Casting Time: 2 rounds Range: Close (25ft+5ft/level) Duration: Permanent(D) Saving Throw: Will Negates Spell Resistance: yes Upon casting this spell, the target takes 1d4 electric damage and is stunned for one round while a transformation occurs. Their ears become long and pointy, their head grows three small horns, their eyes each turn a different color, a pair of small tentacles appear just under their nose, small red blotches appear along their arms, and their skin turns blue. While under the effects of this spell, they suffer a -1 penalty to all diplomacy, gather information, perform, and bluff checks. They suffer a compulsion to eat live beetles (will save dc:11) when encountered, and they sneeze out yellow paper streamers 1d4 times at random intervals during the day. This spell can be removed by remove curse or break enchantment.

They have the desire to drink way to excess after which they find them self in jail for public drukenness and exposing self to children. all ive got
Raven Dark 12-17-05, 12:56 AM	BUMP. I know you guys can come up with some more cool stuff.
ChaoticGod 12-17-05, 01:12 AM	19) BAD LUCK. The target number for success for any d20 roll made by the character is secretly increased by 12. While the player may not realize that his character has been cursed, he/she will certainly feel that way.
Zilred 12-17-05, 03:07 AM	20. Whenever the afflicted caster prepares spells for the day, a random party member (or some other random nearby individual) suddenly gains the ability to cast those spells for the day instead. Limitations on spellcasting from low ability scores apply for the spell recipient. 21. Whenever the individual shakes hands with anyone, his soul and the other individual's soul switch bodies. (this could be a boon as well as a weakness for some evil PC's). 22. The afflicted individual can no longer sense or detect any being that follows a specific deity, and the individual also subconsciously avoids physical contact with such beings, even though the individual cannot detect them. 23. The PC must always roll a saving throw and apply spell resistance (if applicable) to any and all spells that affect him.
Jaid 12-17-05, 01:18 PM	some of these are definitely way beyond the ability of a curse to inflict. let's try and keep it reasonable here.
feartheinvinceblehamster 12-17-05, 01:28 PM	19. Cramp. Once per hour, the subject must yell "OW!! OW!!! CRAMP!!!" and shake a random appendage vigorously.
vardock 12-17-05, 01:51 PM	25: Target is sterile, could be a curse or a boon depending on how you look at it. got this one from the BOVD
Kiklio 12-17-05, 05:11 PM	26. Incorrigible vision. Everything looks like it's a little bit to the left of its actual position. Apply miss chances appropriately. 27. Subject immediately becomes left-handed. If already left-handed, he loses aptitude in either of his hands. Apply miss chances appropriately. 28. Curse of Tourette's. Every time any type of communication is attempted (speech, sign language, telepathy, smoke signals, etc.) Will save DC 25. Failure indicates the message is full of the most offensive messages ever to be uttered/signed/thought/smoked. 29. Incompetence. Every roll the afflicted makes takes a penalty of -2d6, minimum 12. 30. Death Wish. At a set time each day, the subject is subjected to a death urge affect lasting for 10 rounds, no saving throw.
Raven Dark 12-17-05, 10:49 PM	some of these are definitely way beyond the ability of a curse to inflict. let's try and keep it reasonable here. Mind you, Greater Bestow Curse is an 8th level spell with far fewer limitations. Just the same, a lot of posters are adding curses that affect things other than the target of the spell (such as the environment or party members). That just will not do.
NightBreeze 12-18-05, 07:40 AM	31. Whenever the sobject speaks to a male older than him, he tries to touch that male's genital crying "OOH YESSSS"
l0stk0z 12-18-05, 09:08 AM	31. Whenever the sobject speaks to a male older than him, he tries to touch that male's genital crying "OOH YESSSS" ROFL, RaWk!
atanhel 12-18-05, 09:17 AM	32) Whenever the target comes within 15 ft. of someone, that person can hear every single thought the target thinks.
ReverendCow 12-18-05, 09:30 AM	33) 1d6 times per day, the afflicted is compelled to stand as close as possible to any NPC they may currently be dealing with for ten minutes. During the period of close proximity, the afflicted exudes the aroma of ludefisk.
deafbymetal 12-18-05, 04:34 PM	34) The Loser: Every time the player must roll either a skill check, saving throw, or attack/damage, he rolls two of the appropriate dice- and must take the lower result. For example, when making an attack, rolls two d20's, taking the lower result. If both of them hit, he must roll two dice for each damage die, also taking the lower number. All these effects are obvious OoC, but no in-game manifestation is seen- just bad luck.
Darkuwa 12-18-05, 04:42 PM	x+1 -- You develop a phobia of the DM's choice. Treated the same as if rebuked when in the presence what they become afraid of. 2 -- You become a hamster.

This does allow you to be easily "stolen." 7 -- You become the familiar of a player of the DM's choice. Does not replace player's existing familiar. 8 -- Your appearance becomes that of a troll until lesser restoration is cast.

That is the multiplier for gravity that you experience for that day. Permanent effect. -- Thanks Gerdef 42 -- Ford Prefect joins your party. 10th level Rogue, 10th level Gate Crasher (like a rogue, but has a good save of Fort and Will and can open portals like a rogue can pick locks).

Raven Dark 12-18-05, 05:37 PM	1-99 New Curses Thanks for your large contribution to the thread (even if they are ripped), but please number them properly. The next curse will be #134.
Deviston 12-20-05, 10:22 AM	134. When you see someone you haven't seen in over a month you automatically get their attention and remind them of who you are and attempt to start up a friendly conversation (( regardless of surroundings )).
Andorxor 12-20-05, 11:05 AM	135. Greed You like money so much that you can't leave a single cooper piece behind,and must make a willsave if you want to spend your money 136. Tower of Babel You loose common and gain another random language to replace it 137. Ryoga You will always walk in the wrong direction if you are alone
Raven Dark 12-20-05, 11:38 AM	135. Greed You like money so much that you can't leave a single cooper piece behind,and must make a willsave if you want to spend your money 136. Tower of Babel You loose common and gain another random language to replace it 137. Ryoga You will always walk in the wrong direction if you are alone lol. I really like those! Here's another I came up with. 138. Endless Thirst. No matter how much the character drinks, he is always severely parched with thirst--as if they had been in a hot desert for an entire day with no water. ...or worse... 139. No Satiation. For too long the target will be parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long he will be starving to death and not die. He will feel nothing. Not the wind on his face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh. lol.
Deviston 12-20-05, 01:35 PM	140. Liquid Intangibility: Liquid is intangible to this one. They pick up a bottle and over turn it into their mouths, nothing comes out but they see the bottle emptying on the inside. In truth, they are pouring liquid into their mouths and down their gullet. This causes them to go into a crazed frenzy (( Will save DC 20 )) for 1d6+3 round as they start trying to drink every liquid they see. This causes them to begin to drown after 6 rounds and must make saves according. Making the save and therefore realizing they are drowing alerts them to their plight (( reducing the Will save DC to 15 )) and they instantly stop drinking (( but it can happen again if they fail another save )).
evilagram 12-20-05, 03:42 PM	ooh this has potential!!! 141. they change sex. 142. they change sexuality*wink wink* 143. they they give the first person they see chocolates(or another variety of sweets) 144. they become addicted to doing the next thing they do with the exeception of being passive, walking, or any action offered in battle(other items ought to be added to this list by the use of common sense on the DM's part). they are compelled to do the such action whenever able to unless they make a will save equal to the dc of doing that action. if it doesn't have a dc then they must do it. the upside is that they gain a +2 on that skill. 145. they turn into a cheeseball. YUMMY!
R.M.G.C.L.F. 12-20-05, 04:07 PM	Please specify whether or not something offers a saving throw, and if so what kind. Also keep in mind this should be within the power range of a level 3 cleric spell, not ridiculously higher or uselessly lower. Response to 143. What if they don't have any sweets? Response to 144 That doesn't even make sense. Try to at least word it coherently. Response to 145: that's redundant with polymorph any object, and quite stupid. Please, please, PLEASE don't spam the thread up with whatever random thing you can think of. This is uses for bestow greater curse, not the graveyard of failed flash animation ideas.
deafbymetal 12-20-05, 05:04 PM	Also keep in mind this should be within the power range of a level 3 cleric spell, not ridiculously higher or uselessly lower. The OP is refering to an 8th level spell, not 3rd level: I was just perusing my Spell Compendium when I stumbled upon a spell called GREATER BESTOW CURSE, essentially an 8th level version of Bestow Curse with permanent effects that are hard to get rid of. He also never asked for whether the curse offered a save or not, so I assume it is listed as part of the spell (I do not have the book). And while some of the curses offered are pretty out there (Cheeseball?), it's all in good fun :evillaugh
Vikjunk 12-21-05, 05:01 AM	146. Make a Paladin the unable to tell the truth. 147. Curse a Paladin so that no one is believes him no matter what he says. 148. Make the target fall madly in love with the next Troll that person sees. 149. Make a Blue Dragon so that he has to make a will save or sing and dance “I’m a little tea pot” with a little girls voice whenever he encounters a party of adventurers. And a nice method of thinking is to using targets culture against them like: 150. Turn an Elf’s skin black and hair white. 151. Or make a male Dwarf’s beard fall out and unable to grow another one until he breaks the curse. 152. Or make a Gnome or Dwarf were he has to make a fortitude save every round or be Nauseated if he is in contact with gold.
deafbymetal 12-21-05, 10:36 AM	151. Or make a male Dwarf’s beard fall out and unable to grow another one until he breaks the curse. I played in a game about 10 years ago (2e) where my friend Lenny had a Dwarf afflicted with this. It made for a lot of interesting encounters- do you know how easy it is to start a fight in a bar by commenting on the beardless dwarf?
Andorxor 12-21-05, 04:07 PM	162. Charisma You a fascinated by yourself. You must make a willsave when you see a reflecting surface or spend the next 30 Minutes looking at it. 163. Inteligence You can't use simple words.If you can choose between a short and easy to understand word and a long and obscure one you will always choose the second 164. Strenght You must make a strenght check to break any object you hold longer than 5 minutes I have no ideas for curses based on the other 3
Secrets Untold 12-21-05, 05:13 PM	165: "As I leave you, all will": Caster is teleported away to a spot of choosing. Anyone the afflicted character talks to is radomly teleported to an inconvinent location. Great for use against bards. 166: Flesh rot: Every 10 minutes that the afflictid creature is not at least half submerged in water, they take 1d4 nonlethal damge and they, and people who look at them are sickened for 1d10 rounds. Once again, great on social characters.
Zeful 12-21-05, 08:31 PM	162. Charisma You a fascinated by yourself. You must make a willsave when you see a reflecting surface or spend the next 30 Minutes looking at it. 163.

Wisdom You belive yourself to be increadbly resonable you don't understand why other don't listen to you. You scof the idea's others even though they may be resonable. (Okay wisdom was hard) 167.) Dexterity You are a butterfingers and you must make a dexterity check to hold anything in your had for longer than 5 minuets. Can't think of one for Constitution.
Secrets Untold 12-21-05, 09:54 PM	Constitution: The afflicted creature has to make Fortitude saves to stop doing anything constitution related and target has a -6 penalty on such saves and a +6 bonus to other constitution activities. Target cannot blink for risk of losing concentration.
Anshin Mandango 12-21-05, 11:41 PM	alternate for the abilty curses Charisma-unchanged Strength-unchanged Inteligence- your speach changes into an incredibly complex torrent of multiple sylables and obscure verbage, anyone listening to you speak (or reading your handwriting) must suceed on a DC 15 Int check to understand what you are saying. one check covers one page of text or one minute of spoken speach, after which, they must make another save. Wisdom- anytime you hear someone say something to the effect of "you shouldn't do that" or "this is a bad idea" you must succed on a DC 20 Will save or be forced to do the mentioned activity. Dexterity- you have all the grace of a drunken gazelle, you treat all ground as being uneven terrain. Constitution- you have the annoying habit of dropping dead whenever your needed, only to get up minutes later as if nothing happend. whenever you attempt any sort of strenuous activity you must succeed on a DC 20 fort save or drop dead for the rest of the encounter, when you get up with no ill effects.
Incognito2me 03-14-06, 05:30 PM	172 (I think): Paranoid Each day you must make a will save or immediately start firing off all your spells indiscriminately in all directions. This mania lasts for 5 minutes or until you are forceably restrained from casting. If you have no spells left, or are unable to cast spells, immediately start throwing anything you can lay hands on. 173: Emotionless You become devoid of any emotion. Your alignment immediately changes to true neutral and you act accordingly. You are unable to comprehend any motive that has emotion behind it, and are unable to make any emotional decisions. 174: Distracted Each round in combat, you must make a concentration check equal to DC10+caster level of the curse. Failure to do so means you stare blankly at a random spot for the rest of your turn. There isn't anything actually there.

SageBahamut 09-19-06, 12:33 AM	193 Wisdom You think you're always right, and can't resist enlightening people, whether they want to hear it or not. Whenever anyone in your line-of-sight attempts a skill check, make a Will save or back-seat-drive them to distraction. 194 Dexterity You can't just walk into a room, you must literally waltz, dance, tumble, or in some other way make a dramatic entrance that shows off how supple you are. Or you can't sit still without flipping a coin, juggling, or being somehow in motion. 195 Constitution You believe yourself to be invulnerable and act accordingly. edit = Wow did I get righteously scooped... edit edit = Corrected my numbers.

Magetastic 09-19-06, 02:35 PM	212. Trophy hunter: the cursed always takes a tropy from EVERTHING he kills and wears it on his person all trophys are imeadiatly noticed by whomever it may concern. 213. this one is impossible to pull off in a game but it would be cool Hunted By The Slain: every hour the cursed is attacked by somthing he has killed starting from weakest and each one after that is the next weakest.:D 214. Silly: the cursed acts silliy and gets -6 to any save that would cuase him to act silly (hidous laughter, irresisitable dance).
Seeker95 09-19-06, 06:45 PM	213. this one is impossible to pull off in a game but it would be cool Hunted By The Slain: every hour the cursed is attacked by somthing he has killed starting from weakest and each one after that is the next weakest.:D Not at all impossible. It sounds wonderful. And would make one helluva phantasmal killer type spell!
Enlong 09-19-06, 06:50 PM	215. (used on a high elf) The target's skin becomes coal-black, and his eyes become red (drow) 126. Everything the target touches is set on fire. That includes enemies, trees, food, clothing. Also called the Vulcan Touch.

Yamu 09-29-06, 09:42 AM	218. Magic items will not function for the recipient of the curse. All magic items worn, used, or actively possessed by the recipient have their powers temporarily suppressed. 219. Upon encountering any loved one, the recipient is compelled to attempt lethal harm upon them unless they succeed at a will save. 220. Magic Allergy. Any and all spells cast upon the recipient of the curse are accompanied by an unbearable burning that persists for the spell's duration or for ten rounds, whichever is greater. All rolls made by the recipient while in this state suffer a -4 penalty, and concentration checks must be rolled for all actions which can be disrupted. These penalties do not stack for multiple spellcastings. 221. A magical rune shines indelibly on the character's forehead. The rune appears to anyone viewing it to be a vile and offensive curse (word or phrase) in their native tongue, and it radiates legibly through anything short of a 1-foot thick sheet (or ridiculously thick helm, come to that) of lead. 222. 50% chance that any arcane spell cast by the recipient of the curse will not take effect, and will instead manifest itself as a Magic Mouth which loudly announces the name of the attempted spell. (Alternately, at DM's discretion, the mouth could taunt the caster, betray his secrets, or give tactical insight to the enemy.) 223. Impose light sensitivity on the recipient of the curse. 224. If the recipient is a Dwarf, cause them to develop acute claustraphobia. 225. Wherever the character steps or touches, non-creature plantlife sickens and dies. Docile or domesticated animals recoil from their touch as if in pain. 226. The recipient of the curse ages at ten times the normal rate for a creature of their type.
User5127 09-29-06, 10:07 AM	I doubt this was said but here goes for my one and only. 227. When ever a situation comes up where acting with our first planning things out would grant almost certain death, you feel an unresitable urge to just run into said situation while shouting LEROY JENKINNNNNS! at the top of your lungs (situations could also include running off a cliff or doing something else that is blatantly stupid).
Raven Dark 09-29-06, 11:20 AM	224. If the recipient is a Dwarf, cause them to develop acute claustraphobia. :heehee :heehee :heehee That's the best one yet! The others you posted Yamu are excellant as well. Thanks for the contribution. :D
Necropolitan 09-29-06, 11:26 AM	228 - Hunger of the Dead. The Bearer of said item automatically attracts all mindless undead within a 10 mile radius. The first individuals begin to arrive within 1d4 hours. This is a constant effect. I applied this to an Evil Dead-themed set of items; it was Ash's Boomstick and Chainsaw, sure they were uber powerful, but the guy who got them was swimming in zombies for the rest of the game.
Faust IX 09-29-06, 05:42 PM	229- (actually happened in an RP I took part in. I had too much on my plate, so a friend of mine played the role of the Shinigami who did the curse on a fellow Shinigami for crying out loud. XDD ) The target cannot die, instead he/she regenerates his/her health if killed or injured but only to the 3 or 4 hp the target had before the curse was bestowed, additionally if he is healed, the curse injures him until he returns to the 3-4 HP.
