[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5235395, member: 91608"] A couple of questions: what alignment is he + what other players/classes are there in the party? Anyway - not everything is gold what sparkles. Using ignorant mortals to push further your agenda is always a nice thing, but using servants of good gods to do so? Priceless. The warlock who ruled over that keep was a great asset until he allowed some filthy heroes to kill him off, as they catched him without his powerful tome. The Golden Tome of Power, an artefact with mind of his own, allowed him once a day to curse all creatures in close blast 6, either as standard action, or immediate reaction when triggered by touch/melee attack by good aligned character (the cleric involuntarily triggered that effect along with several traps). The tome got somewhat "flunky", and leaks other effects as well, so the cursed soldiers gain other effects at random: Dark One's Own Luck, Armor of Agathys, Fiendish Resilence, Shroud of black steel. It shields soldiers from being cursed ([I]You can’t place a Warlock’s Curse on a creature that is already affected by your oranother character’s Warlock’s Curse.[/I]) and is apparently triggered only by good characters, so everyone assumes that it's a good artefact. They "bless" emperor best troops each day during special ceremonies (and after a while the bonus effects wear off, but the curse stays). Now, say hello to my little friend: [B]Accursed Coordination[/B]. I don't have that particular book or DDI, so I'm unable to give exact description, but the gist is: you can both double-curse and use others curses. It wouldn't count for pact boons, but it would for additional damages and other effects. And guess what - whole elite of emperors army has been already cursed! Your priest, a particularly good character, who sacrifices his life for his deity has some nasty psycho-somatic side-effects, namely perpetual pain (projected into his leg by pure chance, just because brain thinks it has to be [I]somewhere[/I]. If he tries to find someone to heal his leg it will be fruitless, as there's nothing wrong with the limb). I almost forgot - is the clerics name Gregory? Or Gregorious? [/QUOTE]
