[QUOTE="Henry, post: 910786, member: 158"] It's hard to say, because I don't have one that is quite as grand as PCat's. But in general, it would have to be coming up with "cursed" items that my players LOVE to use, but have insidious detrimental effects. Examples of this: -The Cursed Everstriking sword that a paladin player not only kept, but used exclusively at everything from melee to missile fire, because whenever it missed, it still hit, it just took the difference in hit points off of him. -A girdle of Giant Gender Change: It gave you giant strength, but it also permanently changed your gender, too. -A magical demonic gun in a d20 Modern Game that gave the user tremendous firepower, but it damaged their constitution with every use, making them more vulnerable. -An artifact level item that gave its wearer tremendous power, but destroyed random multiple permanent magical items in the area when it was activated. My players have before asked me for the "plain" cursed items instead of these things, but I smile and shake my head. I have too much fun with the ethical quandries. :) [/QUOTE]
