Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 4573957" data-attributes="member: 99">Cursed items do indeed fit right into WFRP.I think that magic items in WFRP are better suited to being plot devices than "giving bonuses".  Again with a nod to me adapting it for Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow's compass that points to whatever his heart truly desires is the sort of magic item I tended to put into my games.Another example from my campaign is that I had an NPC who was a 9 year old boy who first saw almost his whole family killed in front of him and later was captured by Beastmen to use in a ritual (he was rescued before the end of it by the PC's).  One result of this was that part of his soul was put into a little "voodoo doll".  It later kept him from dying.This kind of stuff makes magic items more mysterious and sinister than everybody have a +2 longsword.  I'm not knocking +2 longswords:  I'm getting ready to kick off a 4e game.  I'm just saying that this different flavor feels right for WFRP to me.</blockquote>
