In the all-reptiles prehistoric game that I ran, one of the PCs had gotten multiple grafts (ala Fiend Folio) from a sinister ophidian scientist, one of which was cursed with the "5% chance of polymorphing into a specific creature each day" (the creature in question was an ophidian, naturally). Until that character died, he had absolutely no idea why I was rolling percentiles after every time they rested.My favorite cursed item story, however, I've told a few times here. In an Eberron game, the PCs had looted a magic item warehouse that had been mostly destroyed in the Mournlands. All of the eldritch energy had given each of the items a different random curse, and the amulet of natural armor that the druid took changed the wearer's gender. The newly female druid asked the (female) cleric to prepare a remove curse spell the next day, to which she replied, "so being a woman is a curse now, is it? I'm not going to remove anything from you until you stop being so misogynistic!" Demiurge out.</blockquote>
