[QUOTE="Tric, post: 2160892, member: 30933"] Holy cow! That is some awesome curse you've got there! I would rather dump my character if I got that curse, than try to survive anyway. I don't think it would be possible (AT ALL) to enjoy your game when your character is so weakened when compared to the other characters. Just who came up with that curse...? (Or is it Greater Bestow Curse or something? But I guess not since it apparently can't be lifted) I've seen curses in action before, but not as you may expect. One gal I knew had her character start with a curse that gave her -4 to charisma (bestowed by a god, so it took a while before she got the limited wish required to lift it), and in return she was allowed to start with a special item (we started with 6000 gp and she also sacrificed ~4500 gp for the staff)... A staff that launched bolts of magical force. Mind you, the staff still dealt damage as a sling (bludgeoning, 1d4), since it would be too powerful otherwise. The staff had some other abilities, like switching shape between wand and staff. That's one way to do it. [/QUOTE]
