A cursed sword -1 that won't let you wield anything else is an old saw without a whole lot of interest to a bunch of D&D old skoolers who've been playing for years. It's like that loud, abrasive uncle who doesn't understand why everyone doesn't think his farting at inappropriate moments or using a joy buzzer in his palm when he shakes your hand is funny.Girdle of gender reversal? Yay, your character has boobies! Been there, done that.On the other hand, we had an axe in our evil campaign named Mahrhaveen (named after Carvin' Marvin) that stored the souls of those it killed in a hivemind. It was a powerful weapon, but there was a chance every time you wielded it of it taking your character over - Will save - and forcing you to kill everything in sight.That was story-enhancing, and interesting.I enjoy cursed items like that. Gag gifts, not so much.</blockquote>
