Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Wahaha wrote:I think curses should be unremovable and disappear with exp. No scrolls. The benefit of not having scrolls is that you can't wait until you find a rc scroll to wear-id stuff. You either use a scroll of id or wear-id and since there aren't enough id scrolls for everything until mid-game players might wear-id with the risk of curses.

and into wrote:^ I like that idea a lot. And it would be easy enough to have Ash make curses permanent, and let it provide an "add curse" ability (no piety) and a "remove curse" (moderate to high piety cost) ability.
