Dealing with cursed items in D&D 5e usually involves discovering the curse after attunement, then using the Remove Curse spell or similar magic to break attunement, often requiring a quest or specific ritual for permanent removal from the item itself, or sometimes accepting the drawback for the item's benefit.
If the curse is weak, a simple purification may be sufficient: immerse the object in a pile of salt or salt-water, expose it to the smoke of incense, or spray it with holy water, the curse will be removed and the object will be purified again.
To remove cursed item: Set yourself on fire. Read a scroll of destruction. Dip cursed item in blessed potion of holy water. Read scroll of uncursing. Walk through / trigger acid traps / allow yourself to be attacked by corrosive attack enemies or eye of destruction (while unequipping everything except the cursed item).

Cursed magic items
These curses are intended to be a surprise when they are revealed. There are 5 cursed items listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide (excluding artifacts) and they all require attunement. The curse extends to the user when they attune to the item, and this attunement can't be ended voluntarily.
Cursed Objects (also known as Cursed Possessions or Cursed Items) are high-risk objects in Demonology that spawn randomly throughout Job Sites that can be used to find the ghost, the ghost room, and more, but in turn drain the user's energy and will trigger a Cursed Hunt if the object is fully used or broken.
With the Hide action, you try to conceal yourself. To do so, you must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity (Stealth) check while you're Heavily Obscured or behind Three-Quarters Cover or Total Cover, and you must be out of any enemy's line of sight; if you can see a creature, you can discern whether it can see you.
Most Item cards bestow positive benefits, such as bonuses to rolls or protections for the equipped Hero card; however, some Item cards, called Cursed Item cards, provide negative effects and can be equipped to enemy Hero cards to give them disadvantages.
Here are the 10 most haunted objects in the world:
If you are willing to use up holy or unholy water, you can determine whether or not an object is cursed. If you think the object might be cursed and are OK with it becoming cursed if it isn't, dip it in unholy water. If nothing happens, the item was already cursed.
The caster had to successfully touch the cursed creature or object to cast this spell. Remove curse was effective on most curses, but strong curses, like those on weapons and armor, were usually not permanently removed, just lifted long enough for the person afflicted with a cursed item to get rid of it.
On all default difficulties, except Insanity, one cursed possession is selected at random for every contract. Each item has one dedicated spawn location on a given map.
Fill a container with salt water and bathe the dice in them. Rotate the dice thoroughly. Those which consistently surface with a specific side up are curse-touched, and cannot be saved, the rest, you must sprinkle with essence of lavender. Or whatever scent fabreeze you've got.
The rarest enchantments in Minecraft are often debated, but Wind Burst (for the Mace) and Swift Sneak are top contenders due to their specific, structure-locked acquisition, while older "treasure" enchants like Mending, Frost Walker, and Soul Speed are rare because they can't be obtained from enchanting tables. Wind Burst, found in Ominous Vaults in Trial Chambers, is currently considered the most exclusive with a low drop rate, but Mending remains highly sought after for its repair ability.
SO, mending is equally effective on a pickaxe regardless of the unbreaking level. BUT an unbreaking tool will take longer to reduce its durability. so by putting unbreaking on a mending tool you are extending the amount of time between when you have to go repair the tool with experience.
Whether trading with villagers, reeling in enchanted books while fishing, or looting chests while exploring, there are plenty of ways to get your hands on cursed items in survival mode.
“That doll is haunted and evil. We had a case made for her so that nobody could touch her.” – Lorraine Warren speaking about the doll Annabelle. Ed and Lorraine Warren were self-proclaimed demonologists associated with several cases involving hauntings and the paranormal, notably during the 1970s.
Robert the Doll was once the cherished possession of a young boy named Robert Eugene Otto, but over time, eerie occurrences began to be attributed to the doll, such as inexplicable movements and unsettling giggles.
Deuteronomy 7:26 “Do not bring any detestable objects into your home...” 26 “Do not bring any detestable objects into your home, for then you will be destroyed, just like them. You must utterly detest such things, for they are set apart for destruction.”
Zero Cursed Energy: Unlike any other known case, Toji possesses no cursed energy. His Heavenly Restriction completely eliminated cursed energy from his body. This makes Toji undetectable to other jujutsu sorcerers, making him capable of moving through barriers undetected or even sneaking past the Six Eyes.
If you have an item that is cursed, then by placing it in a crafting table along with another identical one (it may or may not be cursed), you will most likely succeed in removing the unwanted spell. Unlike an anvil, this procedure will not deprive you of any item, you will just keep both in your inventory.
They should sprinkle a cursed object with holy water, ask God to lift any curses, and dispose of it by destroying, burning, or burying it or throwing it into a body of water.
The D&D 65% Rule is a guideline suggesting player characters (PCs) should hit about 65% of the time against monsters with a Challenge Rating (CR) equal to their level, serving as a baseline for encounter balance, though many DMs find it overly simplistic and often ignore it due to the DMG's monster stats being inconsistent and its assumptions not always matching actual play. It comes from analyzing the Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) monster stats, which show monster Armor Class (AC) often aligns with a ~65% hit chance for standard attacks, but this isn't always accurate for real monsters.
Rule 0 or rule zero in tabletop role-playing gaming is the unwritten but commonly understood rule that the game master can override published game rules for any reason.
Each ability score (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) begins at a base score of 8. Players have 27 points to distribute among their ability scores.
