Raistlin's Cursed Money

During the Dwarfgate Wars, Raistlin (or Fistandantilus) made a deal with the dark dwarves to betray their king and leave the gates of the fortress of Pax Tharkas open when Raistlin's army attacked. Thus victory for the wizard was assured. Raistlin paid the dark dwarves with a coffer of 100,000 steel coins.

These coins were cursed, however, to prevent the dark dwarves from double-crossing the wizard. If the owner of one of these coins goes back on his spoken word, the flesh of hands begins to turn black and rot away. This dread curse spreads slowly and inexorably to the rest of the body until the victim dies.

The legendary effect of this money occurs only when the money is actually part of a promise. (If a character promised to guard you in exchange for this money and then fled with it, then the curse would claim him.) A person under the curse suffers 1d4 points of damage from rotting each day until he either makes good on his promise, receives a remove curse, or dies.

Cursed magical items - the STD's of Dungeons and Dragons. Taking away the fun of treasure hording since 1974.... 😂

Can you imagine 100k platinum cursed coins in circulation? Lol

This was how & why our Rogue began trading in favors & consumables instead of coin 🪙

Gave the DM a chance to dish out milk runs, introduce people, & give great moments of “You guys are the Power” on a local scale so it wasn’t always an Avengers-level threat.

We had a great DM.
