My brother"s half-orc Barbarian was under an odd curse that made throw up at random points through out the day. in fact when we ( A human paladin, a human Monk, a halfling Rogue and of course, the barbarian ) were surrounded by a very ****** off angry mob. The mayor walks up to us when we were about to diplomancy check our way out of this mess but when he was face-to-face with the barbarian........ you get it don't you? Also, whenever he drinks something, most of the time afterwards his shorts will run yellow if ya catch my drift.

Gurthoron 07-06-05, 01:19 PM	Well, not sure if this was truely a curse, but it was hilarious. Death Slaad Rogue (note-race is Slaad. Definition of CN) was trying to make it through a room guarded by various symbols. In a moment of stupidity of my part, he entered while they were still active. Saving against some, he ended up wanting to go home, and insane. First round I charged and attacked an ally. Second round I regained lucidity enough to pull out my portable hole, jump into it, and tell someone to pick it up again. Then I was stuck in this hole for at least a half hour. Thus, my true chaotic nature surfaced. I spent the time creating stone (via stonewall) then shaping it and forming it. I was utterly convinced I was god and I was supposed to create the universe. Another personality manifested itself through Monty-Python skits it quoted. The third started running around the bag. It was an interesting time for my poor Slaad, but probably the only time I managed to roleplay the true chaos that is a Slaad. Cursed item: Gives you +50% movement speed. However, you have to skip everywhere while wearing it. Now imagine that on an obscenely cute doglike thing.

Scaer_Vieliss 07-10-05, 03:43 PM	I haven't used this one yet, but if all goes well... :evillaugh The cursed item is a sweet-smeeling greenish potion with a rat's tail inside. The drinker of the potion feels queasy afterwards, but nothing beyond that. However, the next time the drinker is scared, he/she must make a Will save or be frightened out of their skin (literally).
RavenoftheCrags 07-10-05, 04:10 PM	The Cursed Ring of Rahtihi: Any water the character touches becomes a hostile water elemental.
nephtis 07-11-05, 05:01 AM	It might be cruel, but I -as the DM- used the following curse on a player (I had been getting complains from the other group members about a wizards who claimed every single magic item the group found, no matter if he could use it). The next BBEG the group encounter had learned a curse - and since said wizard was 'lucky' enough to score the killing blow - Wolfgrimm the Black spoke a dying curse. (I love the BoVD. For all of you: the power of a dying curse depends on the level of the character speaking it, it befalls the one killing him/her and you can only break it in two ways: a wish spell or find the 'way out' that it should include in the wording. Downside is, that a character that speaks a dying curse can not be brought back from the dead. But it's a lovely tool.) The curse was: You shall not enrich yourself by my death! Whatever riches you seize shall turn to coals in your hands! It worked like this: any non-magical riches (I limited it to coins, gems and the like) would be destroyed as long as he had still anything from Wolfgrimm in his possesion. Easily to lift the curse once you figuered that out. This was supposed to make him loose all his money and hopefully forcing him to sell a few items or give them to other PC in order to make them pay something for him. Knowing the group I predicted heavy bargaining... Well, the wizard happily looted, copied spells into his spellbook (I was looking forward to having him Erase those)... and was really surprised when he opened his bag and found nothing but coals where is money was supposed to be. Did he get the clue? Well, he concluded that Wolfgrimm's dying words might have caused him a slight problem, but he considered it a temporary problem and decided to touch his fellows for a loan. Same procedere. One of the sessions I got to indulge my sadistig sense of humor a lot...
Far_Traveler 11-22-06, 04:38 PM	Once my bard (ladies man) had an interesting curse from a rather... Maternal Hafling. For one, he became incontinent. Second, every girl he meets will gain the following spell-like abilities: Detect diaper, summon diaper, create milk, and be compelled to treat him like a baby. He got better... after he willingly got treated as such by a nymph for a week. Yeah, my DM then was kinda wierd, but she was a good one, and I was asking for something like this being the only guy in a group. My gambit kind of backfired when I proposed that I wear diapers while I played, expected it to make her want to end the ordeal, not take me up on it. *sigh* Ah well, whats done is done, and gaming cheerleaders are hard to come by.
Toloran 11-22-06, 07:32 PM	Ah well, whats done is done, and gaming cheerleaders are hard to come by. Totally, 100% worth it.
Far_Traveler 11-22-06, 10:45 PM	Oh yeah. I'm fairly certain that at least the DM was one of those AB/DL peeps. Or, alternatively, they were trying to ward me away, and when they realized I wasn't too bad they just rolled with it.
penguinsrule 11-22-06, 10:51 PM	One of the players in my group wanted his character to die so he could make a new one. This character was a craftsman with +19 to craft checks at level 6, so everybody wanted him to make stuff. He was going to commit suicide after a battle, but he killed the major enemy, who muttered a dying curse. Long story short his character will be alive even after the solar system gets sucked into a black hole.
ressurrector 11-23-06, 03:47 AM	I had a character struck with narcolepsy. Because nothing makes combat more fun than having to either give yourself stim-drugs before hand or risk falling asleep.
Voldar_Mecorthio 11-23-06, 12:51 PM	One of my players had a habit of constantly acting like a perverted moron throughout the game (They were in Hades and he just randomly yelled "hey wouldn't it be cool if naked girls ran through here?" He would do that a lot. Int of -17) Anyway, I had a caster put a curse on him that whenever he made any sort of sexual comment the female in question got a 1-use spell like ability to use Flensing, only on him. That shut him up quickly.
