Cursed scrolls?

[amber91]

Happened to pick up a cursed scroll of "Mass Lesser Vigor" that I can't use, trade, or drop, just occupying a precious inventory slot.


Any tips on how to get rid of the curse or the item?

Can a cleric/fvs do anything about it for me?
Or, if someday, I have enough UMD to use scrolls of Remove Curse, would I be able to purge it myself? (not sure how the whole curse thing works)

Thanks for any tips!

All of those are perfectly viable options.
A scroll of Remove Curse is easiest.
Finding a cleric/fvs/wizard with Remove Curse is most fun

Note that the cursed scroll remains as a junk item after curse removal and does not revert back to the scroll it purported to be.

I don't know if I have a negative Wis modifier IRL but I'm going to try to test this out now.

To make this more clear cast the spell on yourself not the scroll

Both should work. But I believe Tsid is referring to casting a cursed scroll. And I'm not sure if a healthy dose of curiosity is the same as a low wisdom IRL They might go hand in hand

Done it.

Was a Doom scroll.

Performed perfectly.
Doomed the target, not the caster.

Gimme a cursed Weird to try out.

I last tried with a cursed scroll of Fireball. It did... nothing! In fact it became a 1/day Fireball VFX clicky because the scroll resets its charge after resting. I know some cursed items do other effects as well, but I'll let you discover what some of those are
