D&D 5E (2014) Cursed Items and Identify

[Scorpio616]

Why cursed items?

Failed or sabotaged attempts at making magic items.
Items that should have burned out, but went bad instead.
Gods when they are in a trolling mood.

 

[Bupp]

Who creates cursed magic items, and why?

Hell, if the Cocaine Wizards make owlbears, why not cursed items too?

 

[Antz7766]

WotC should have included two more random tables in the DMG.

1) Magical item crafting outcome table. On a 01-09, roll on table 2!
2) Random type of curse on item table
