Though I'am sure BareMettle intends to incorporate cursed and other types of 'evil' items, this post means refers to items more neutral or 'grey'.
From what I've gathered, Sui Generis is about a world where everything has a purpose, and I certainly think only having beneficial magical items would be dull, but perhaps appropriate. However, having items 'beneficial' to only a certain type of character or setting would be fantastic. Or items that require some sort of payment/sacrifice.
i.e. A powerful thaumaturge, albit a very selfish one creates an amulet that would siphon life away from an ally if you are hurt and they block/take damage near you. This may even kill the ally, it would perfect for a lone wolf character but horrible for someone who has a loved companion.
Whether or not these items would say anything about it I don't know. Currently of the two magical items in Exanima one tells you what it does, the other does not. Might be mildly rage inducing to put such an amulet on and lose a follower you liked, though that just might be cost of putting on random old amulets.
Thoughts, feelings, hate's?
