12/31/2022 0 Comments Cursed items 5e dmg![]() ![]() Everything is of course up to the GM.Ī cursed item does not show as magical, unless there is a secondary magical effect (+1 cursed sword). All notes below are RAW as far as I can determine. I am mainly summarizing this for my own purposes, but also for anyone else looking up this information. Maybe there it would be better for a celestial to be forcing him NOT to attack, eh? So to make curses interesting and getting a chance to SEE THEM IN ACTION (which is rare) you gotta have something good about it.Īs this became relevant to my game recently, I am posting up a year late on this thread. But also think of, if it's an evil character, maybe the bloodthirsty demon inside a blade isn't going to be much of a curse. And remember, you don't need to show the entire curse on it. And then let your players think of it being worth it. ![]() Think about what really good effect could be tied to a curse. And grog has A LOT OF USE IN GETTING MORE STRENGTH! But he loses it after a short rest AND if he can bring it to it's fullest it does 2d6 extra necrotic damage, but has a chance of killing him instantly. Like craven edge! It is an easy DC of 12 but still many fail it. When you make a cursed item think about what would make the curse worth taking. This might not be an exact answer to your question but here ya go anyway ^^: Just remember that getting of a curse is a larger pain that one would imagine. If an item is cursed, it's pretty much up to you if you would let them see it. If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. They then run an identify spell on it, which reveals the curse.ĭoes identify always reveal the nature/specifics of a curse? I did some perusing of the cursed magic items in the DMG some explicitly say that the spell indeed reveals the cursed nature while others ( bag of devouring, for instance) do not.ĭoes identify pretty much neuter the use of cursed items? How do y'all apply and use it and cursed items, if at all? ![]() They first do detect magic on and yes, it's magic. ![]() Last session (I was the DM), the party finds a cursed item (cursed dagger). Longtime 1E DM and player here, closing in on two full years of playing (and DMing) 5E. ![]()
