Should scrolls of remove curse go away?
But yeah, what was the last time an item being cursed was any hassle to you, and you didn't immediately take it off upon reading a scroll of remove curse? (and if you were running low on those you could just use identify)
I think items with drawbacks like *Slow, *Corrode, *Drain and that sort are interesting. But curses? I don't feel they add anything at this point.
Some alternatives I would consider :
* Remove scroll of remove curse and curses. Don't replace them. Ashenzari equipment is now merely "bound". Ashenzari still allows you to "remove" curses in other way.
* Remove scroll of remove curse. Remove curses as they currently exist. Now cursed weapons do this - they temporarily decrease max HP if removed immediately, but the effect can be avoided or diminished by getting some kills with it. This could be just another negative effect like *Drain
Ashenzari could get compensation by being able to neutralize some of the negative effects bound equipment might have.
