You dont throw bigger and badder monsters at the moment, but instead have someone controlled by your BBEG give them a cursed item from this book. Expecially if your players memorized the DMG. Cursed items is a 15 page pdf written by author Mark Gedak. All of the magic items contained in this pdf can easily be brought into any campaign, by just changing the names of the people and places contained in the history section of the magic item. For the most part as well, they are actually pretty well done and descriptive, but a few seem a little bland. In the 15 page pdf there are 4 different sections, with one on the cursed items, one on new creatures, one on psionic powers and spells, and a section on templates. All of which are connected to the cursed items. Section 1: In total there are 10 originally different magic items. They are well described for the most part and their histories are interesting to read. First it describes the Bardic Knowledge check required to recognize the items abilities and drawbacks for the items. Then comes the magic items history which was a joy for me to read at least. After that follows a brief description of the item. Lastly the game effects and what detect magic will reveal about the cursed items. The cursed items range greatly from eachother and can easily be integrated into any ongoing or new campaign. The cursed items range from the Harp of Heroes which shows the tale of a song with illusions, but a certain number of days later they come to life and hunt the performer of the tale, to the Druid's Vengeance which causes rage against any animals attacked by the wielder of this cursed spear, to the Noble's Honour which causes damage when the wearer beds with a member of the opposite sex. This one I believe was the most interesting, but I bet would get the least use. Section 2: Section 2 describes the Keeper which is a tiny construct that is used in the Keeper's Toolbelt cursed item. Basically people who where it for too long turn into a keeper and construct something for their original master. This is the only new creature. Section 3: This section contains the psionic powers and spells that were used with some of the cursed items described in the book. 5 spells in all are described, and range from Detect Disease to Jealously. Section 4:  This is the last section in this short pdf. It contains the two templates which are the Questing Beast and the Reverberant. Again these two templates are each connected to a cursed item in the book. Overall I think this book definetly deserves a 4 at least, but would have gotten a 5 if they included some illustrations besides the cover, which does a good job of showing the atmosphere of cursed items. All of the cursed items in this book are original and can easily be put into any campaign. So if your looking for ways to destroy your players further...get this pdf. I definetly will be using this pdf in my upcoming FR campaign.</blockquote>
