Having the curse be a reflection of its former owner's personality or fate is an amazing idea I haven't heard before. A great way to Make it Treasure.

How about the old Beserking Greatsword. I know Baldur’s Gate (PC game) had an item like this. It was a +3 two-handed sword that would put the wielder into a rage in combat. Not sure what the best mechanic for it would be in 4e, but it’s a possibility. Might work on it…

Hey everybody! I’m glad you like it. If you use the weapon or have any designs you make on this model, please share! I’d love to see how it works for you.

@Matt –you’re making me blush! Thanks for the kind words. I have several ideas already in mind. I’ll share with you first (wave? E-mail?) and then I’ll release on the blog. I like that idea.
