Breaking Initiative

Any Magic Item can be CURSED - D&D 5E tips for improving curses and other magic item variability


Listen Later

We're back for our 24th episode of Breaking Initiative! Today we go over an optional rule for providing variation for your magic item rewards you give your players, particularly in relation to cursed magic items, and making the curses harder to break. ANY MAGIC ITEM COULD BE CURSED! A luckstone that transforms you into a rabbit, an axe that tries to kill you if you don't provide it with fresh blood, an unbreakable spellbook that whispers secrets that slowly drive you insane, a decanter of endless water that soaks your bed at night to make you think you're a bedwetter. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
