Slave Collar. . . unimaginable rage. . .

[Meglobob]

I like the slave collar, its fun, you just after be clever in its use...

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

I like it too.... I just think it would take one heck of a stupid person to pick one up and try it on.

Most Pretenders would instead--pick it up and try it on a blood slave or a nearby hobbit or perhaps on their third son or something.

Not like most other cursed items that might be good, or might not. The slave collar looks like a slave collar. Man, you pick that thing up and try it on, you deserve what you get.

i am just arguing against something that appears a bit unrealistic. Not the slave collar, but any commander putting one on of their own free will.

Aren't the odds of picking up a slave collar very low? Something like 20% since it is a trinket?

I was toying with throwing commander to get killed wearing them to hopefully be picked up by curious enemy mages. But if only 1 out of 5 is picked up the cost is a little high.

As for why someone would try it on: maybe part of the curse is that it looks like something else to trick people into picking it up?

Also, I think cursed items (like artifacts) are actually more likely to get picked up.

Might be a little... curiousity, shall we say.

But yeah, the slave collars and the body part replacements (currently, just eyes and hearts) probably shouldn't automatically picked up. Well, an eye pickup might make sense if you've lost an eye and don't have a replacement yet.

Next up: the Head of Vecna.

Taqwus--that made me snort cola out my nose. Hmmm, what's this head doing here lying on the ground? Well, I'll just cut mine off and put this on like--what!!??? It seems to be cursed!!! I can't take it off and put my old one back on!! Drat you Vecna!! Drat yooooooouuuuu!

Worth a read... although you may not want to be drinking anything at the time.
