Cursed Items and severing


Rules Questions


Quick question. If I am wearing a cursed ring witht he condition of may not be removed until the curse is broken, what would happen if my hand got cut off? Curse broken, ring shows up on other hand at some point, arm reattaches, something else?

You're outside the territory that raw can help, so DM's call.

I would say that

minor magical item: the curse is gone

Moderate magical item: the ring appears on your other hand

Major Magical item: the ring works from your own severed hand.. better go find it.

Depends on the nature of the curse. In books when cursed items are discarded the hero/heroine simply finds it on their person when they wakeup the next morning.

As a Dm I would vary the effectiveness of the severing technique depending on the power level of the item. A cursed ring of feather falling it would probably work. A cursed ring of elemental command, probably not.
