I posted about this in a recent thread about Grazzt. I'm currently using a cursed item with my current players. One of the PC's found a Ring of Ressurection (it was an AD&D adventure I converted for
3E). It's an extremely powerful item for their level (2nd going on 3rd). However, the first time a PC died while wearing it they woke up in Grazzts throne room. This first time he simply winked and then waved her back. The character was immediately ressurected but now the ring won't come off. The character is beginning to realize that Grazzt has an unbreakable hold on them and has plans for the character. So, a really cool item with a very heavy price.
