[QUOTE="Sotik, post: 7177573, member: 6889100"] From what I understand, mind you I am a new DM, Protection from Good and Evil would not effect a curse. However, the point of remove curse is to remove a curse, so it is just something you have to be aware of when giving players cursed objects. To me they don't show up enough that players will be casting remove curse on every item. I know you said you weren't asking for advice, but a way I would tackle this is that as the player uses the cursed item and their alignment slowly shifts. I would tell them away from the others, or if done in front of the players I would tell them that while they know this their characters don't, that they feel a little more inclined to do evil things. Slowly it would ramp into the overwhelming feeling and desire to do evil things. This would give the players a time to slowly figure out something is going on, and react to it. Then, again new DM here, but as far as I know once the curse was removed, the alignment would stay the same. Looking over a quick google search I really can't find a spell that straight out changes the alignment of a player unless from a curse, a wish spell, or taking a trip to Bytopia and so on. "Only a wish or a miracle can restore former alignment," is the closest answer I found on how to change a players alignment. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me. Just my two cents on the subject. To me, the curse it the changing of the alignment on the dagger, the changed alignment of the player is a permanent effect that isn't as easily dealt with as the curse. [/QUOTE]
