d% | Curse | Description |
---|---|---|
01–33 | Backfire | The imbedded psionic effect of the cursed item targets the user instead of its intended target. |
34–66 | Exhausting | A cursed item of this sort resembles a normal psionic item with a power that can be freely activated, but it instead drains the user of power points whenever he activates its power. |
67–100 | Subversive | A cursed item of this sort appears identical to a standard psionic item. However, it holds an inner malice for the wearer, whose saving throws take a constant –2 penalty. The owner isn’t instantly aware of this penalty but may become aware after a while, when it becomes clear that he fails saves that others make with the same result on the saving throw. |
