Hey everyone, i have a player that loves to play edgelords. In our Curse of Strahd Campain our Dm gave him (the barbarian) a magical Axe that got stronger with blood sacrifices (everytime something got killed.) Now it is my turn to DM, and this player made a Rouge with a “cursed” Blade. We spoke about it on multiple occasions, i was willing to give him something with a small buff but also a drawback that would perhaps motivate his PC to get rid of the sword. The player said no, he only wanted a buff, no drawbacks. So i said no to a cursed weapon. Now in his Backstory he just sent me, his character has a cursed magical sword he stole from a wizard no buffs noted and nothing, just a lot of flavor text on looks and that the PC knows that him and the sword are bound forever.
I have now decided to let him have this sword, but I want to use it to fuck with the Rouge. I am a new DM and unsure on how best to execute this. I was thinking of the sword being simply imbued with the minor illusion cantrip for its looks. Any ideas on how to make my Player believe he has a cursed sword without actually giving him one?
We will play RotFm (D&D 5 E) Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
