RPGaDay 2024: a little vexed (curse + create a random table)

[taichara]

Sometimes you just really shouldn't have read that scroll, tried on that ring, drank that potion ...

Sometimes inconvenient, sometimes awful, and sometimes really awful. Lol.


01. All fabrics touching one's skin feel like a metal file rasping across flesh
02. Now compelled to exclaim a threat of death or bodily harm every time one interacts with a figure of greater authority
03. Resistance to magic and to mental compulsion slowly erodes week by week (with no outward signs)
04. Cannot be healed by anything other than time, which is doubled
05. An invisible-to-most brand marked the cursed one as being allied to the forces of evil (alas the goodly hosts and their allies can see it just fine)
06. The skin or eyes or both darken to bruise-purple in patches that spread slowly, looking diseased
07. Water poured on the skin feels like licking flames
08. Touching precious metal turns it into swarms of scurrying insects
09. Thickets of steel-sharp thistles spring up and engulf any structure one sleeps in overnight
10. All efforts to create or mend something fail, with staggering pain and shattering results
11. Creeping small skeletal vermin conglomerate wherever one stays for more than an hour
12. Forced into a helpless animal form during daylight (or nighttime) hours
