Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spellsprite" data-source="post: 7587042" data-attributes="member: 6992079">I've got a cursed player character in my game and I need some help. I'm having a very busy RL week and have a few days to come up with some stuff on my own so I'm reaching out. Her character looted a scroll, opened it without doing any checks (totally failed her save), read it, and the scroll crumbled to dust immediately. None of her companions saw her do this so they've been clueless till it started impacting them. Much to the annoyance of her traveling companions she closes every door (and door like things) in her visual proximity even if her companions haven't entered the room. It's only day 2 (~18 hours into the curse) and it's already getting worse! She recently went into a rage over getting a door shut with a companion wanting to hold it open to talk to someone on the other side. Needless to say her companions have gone from thinking she was just being "haha very funny" quirky or thinking she was just having a prissy attitude over the way she was treated during an argument that took place just before she found the scroll to FINALLY believing that something is wrong with her.The group is in a large populated town and they are in a well stocked apothecary/magical items shop. I'm going to allow the clerks of the shop to do diagnostics on the cursed player for some major coinage. A couple companions have gotten lucky and are flush with cash so that's not an issue if they really want to help her. I've alluded that the diagnostics may be simple or it might get invasive. What I'm asking from you all reading this and willing to answer: What questions should the shopkeepers be asking? What spells should they cast to determine what the problem is? What items are out there that could be used to poke and prod the character? Magical / non magical? They group is only 4th level. They are a group of: cleric, rogue, sorcerer, rogue/sorcerer, and paladin(is the one cursed).Her group has already tried a couple spells: Detect Poison & Detect Magic (which lit her up like an xmas tree because she's got magical scars from living in a time portal/spell scar area). Her group discounted the Detect Magic as being nothing important and didn't peruse it any further. They might get a better idea if they'd ask the right questions to the cursed character. They're not using their heads and are just asking reactionary BS like "What is your problem?"So what can the collective brain her come up with for me?Any questions?Much thanks if you've read this are and are totally going "oh hell no, not going there".
