Ever wanted to lay a curse onto your players characters? Doing this in a campaign once is not a bad idea, for a curse is a wonderful motivation for them to start out on a quest of their own, especially if they brought the curse upon themselves by their own actions. “Causes for Curses” provides you with 20 inspirations for reasons to bring a woeful fate upon PC in a fantasy RPG.

Some of the causes suggested that the curse is brought upon by another character, some name circumstances that will cause fate or the gods to curse the PC. In the later case, the GM should consider what it means for his game/campaign world if a certain action is the direct cause for a curse. After all, everything that applies to the characters should apply to the NPC, too. Instead of having every instance of the listed actions ending in prompt punishment by higher powers, the GM could let the role of the die decide if fate lashes out against the PC.

Assigning a 3% chance for a percentile die role is one possible option, as is a result of “snake eyes” with 2d6.
