Give your players a deal with the devil with these 23 cursed magic items for DnD 5th Edition. With curses designed to be fun when revealing to your players and also to tempt them into keeping them, these magic items come with a kick that gives your players more options and choices as they learn how dangerous they are. With rarities ranging from Common to Legendary, these magic items are perfect for Horror, Ravenloft, and any other campaign that needs a tricky item, or doomed deal.
In this supplement from the Arcane Academy, fill your dungeons and dooms with the Grieving Blade which has killed so many the blade has said no more, or the Shadowed Lantern to see in magical darkness so long as you can stomach what you find there. Bedeck your Hag’s huts with the Chalice of Vitality or a Looming Hourglass to give exactly what is asked for, but certainly not what is wanted. And fill your contracts with the Golden Fiddle or Amour of Negotiable Protection that come with their own devilish deals already baked in.
This supplement lays out each item with its own art and a brief backstory for the DM to use to add some history and depth to each time and curse. The mechanics are then easily separated into what your players can learn with the identify spell and the curse that is for only you to know until the moment is right. A players appendix is included at the back of the supplement listing only the player facing information for each item to easily give the characters only the information they know.
