Cursed Item

[KainPen]

ok Not sure if this should be advice or Rules form but starting here.

My character at lower level acquired a cursed, +1 Cursed axe, the curse is simple that I can't get rid of the weapon. Because I think it is the greatest weapon of all time. Which was fine by me, It not my weapon of choice and lose out on weapon focus feat. but it function as normal +1 axe. So no really lose and I could always improve the weapon. But in recent game, our character where captured and beaten unconscious and take prisoner. This means someone else took my cursed axe. So it is no longer in my possession. So my questions are I now free of the curse and is the person that took it from me now cursed instead, or am I still cursed and the weapon just finds it way back to me to everyday? Could turn this curse in to a big positive be useful if I wake up in a cell and I have my weapon. lol What do the rule support, in this matter?

Removing Cursed Items:

While some cursed items can be simply discarded, others force a compulsion upon the user to keep the item, no matter the costs. Others reappear even if discarded or are impossible to throw away. These items can only be discarded after the character or item is targeted by a remove curse or similar magic. The DC of the caster level check to undo the curse is equal to 10 + the item's caster level. If the spell is successful, the item can be discarded on the following round, but the curse reasserts itself if the item is used again.

My guess is that you are under a compulsion to keep the weapon, regardless of how dangerous it is. But one can't be sure since cursed items are often created by the GM to make the game more interesting.

I think you should simply ask your GM. He/she is the one who created the cursed item, so it only from your GM that you can get the info you need.

An item that has no negatives, other than being cursed is unusual, so we are fully in GM territory right off the bat.

The rules are: "While some cursed items can be simply discarded, others force a compulsion upon the user to keep the item, no matter the costs. Others reappear even if discarded or are impossible to throw away."

It looks like your case is either 'compulsion' or 'compulsion and reappears' but either is possible. A cursed item that reappears can be useful, but usually isn't 100% reliable. How quick you will get it back, or whether you can rely on it always being 'back' when you need it are things you will have to find out.

Pretty much, neither your character or you as a player know, so you will just have to see.

(It is also possible that you are still cursed even if it is only a compulsion and you will feel a need to get it back and/or take penalties until you either recover it or get the curse lifted)
