Link is broken for me, ser.

Edit: That may be the computer I'm on. I'll check it later.

Yes, that works. Awesomely. And no, I haven't, though I'd like to (thanks, Google!). I got it from Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.

Thanks for the offer, and the interest. I'm not currently looking for any players yet, but I'll keep your name on the list for when it's time.

Update!

I have all 100 curses done! Some of my favorites:

10)   This item squeaks quietly whenever you take a step, despite any attempts to silence it.

15)   This item summons an obnoxious, uncontrollable penguin which is enamored with you and despises all other members of your character’s party.

44)   There is something fishy about this item.
If held: The curse takes effect upon each drawing from a scabbard. There is a 50% chance that it will be a silver Bastard Sword that deals 2D10 extra damage because it is enchanted with the element of water. There is also a 50% chance that it will be a large halibut instead of a weapon, (Halibut have an attack power of 0.) This effect continues until either the end of three rounds or combat has ceased, whereupon the weapon disintegrates, and re-appears in the sheath. The weapon may not be re-sheathed or dropped before this effect wears off.
If worn: Upon wearing this item, the normal material turns to fish scales and it rots away to nothing over the next day. The armor in question has a power of 0.

82)   If held: For each round of combat this weapon is held, roll 1D10. If a 1 is rolled, this weapon attacks you for your normal damage with the weapon. Otherwise, the weapon has a power of -10.
If worn: For each round of combat this item is worn, roll 1D10. If a 1 is rolled, this item turns into a mass of suckered tentacles, and attempts to smother you. It fails to do any damage to you, however, you lose your action, and your defensive scores are all 0 for the remainder of the round.

96)   This item summons a large, angry, hostile Black Dragon to your location. Said Dragon is fixated on destroying your character.

15: AWESOME.

It'd be nice if the fish still did SOME damage (does attack power override or complement a player's attributes?) so that you could get fish kills :D

Attack power of a weapon is complimentary to the character's skill. So, yes, you could beat someone to death with a fish.

That's kind of an inside joke. See, I have trouble saying the word. I usually replace it with the phrase "Small, flightless, black and white aquatic bird."

Out of curiousity, why are the curses so specific? Will a cursed item never summon a large angry red dragon, or an enamored seal (as opposed to a penguin)? It takes some of the realism out of the game to have such a limited spectrum, at least for me.

Mostly because I want to avoid having the DM/GM/Storyteller roll on another random table. If that's okay, though, I'll happily change it.

It can't take more that thirty seconds to roll on a couple tables... but your rules could get very table-heavy, which impacts navigability. Totally up to you.

Random tables are bad, but so are effects that are incredibly specific. Instead try to create something that gives players and their DM a general idea of what the curse can accomplish. A good game system imo allows a lot of narrative flexibility while creating a sufficient groundwork for resolving conflicts in a fair manner. Saying something like, Curse #4523 causes monkeys to begin pouring out of your butt, doesn't make a great addition to a ruleset. Rather, it's a piece of fluff attached to a more comprehensive effect that let's DMs/Players come up with their own "animal comes out of orifice" curse. You create the building blocks, they create the fun.

Indeed. That seems to be an oversight I made with a couple of the curses/blessings. Those are being revised. Thanks for your input, guys.
