As a DM, I never cured him, but it was fun to jerk him around from time-to-time, because he would always take the bait. I reiled on a dusty tome called Grimtooth's Traps, particularly the section featuring trapped/cursed items. Check out the "The Idiot's Vase" or a special wine called "Blue Rose: Bottled by the Voiceless Ones."  Even the "Cape of Dorian Grey" or "The Rope Serpent" might be in store.My player/character eagerly went for each of these items before anybody else could speak. His skin turned green reaching into the vase for the gold in the bottom. He drank the wine and was told that would die if he spoke. He aged 50 years because of the Cape, and the Rope Serpent nearly choked his character to death. And yet he still didn't learn. I even let him chase after EXCALIBUR (in a GREYHAWK campaign mind you!) just because I wanted to see what would happen. He insisted that his paladin must have the best of all Holy Avenger swords. And boy-oh-boy did he get upset when he failed the Test of Humility, where he had to give stuff away in order to proceed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
