I think items going to the lab would be nice, or even going to a "pack" that would need to be added that would allow commanders to carry cursed items for other commanders without having to put them on. As it is you can't have something without equipping it which isn't always optimal.

. Looking good is better than seeing good.

Cursed items are supposed to be found and grabbed by unwary commanders that later gets attached to them and refuses to give them away. Do you think Smeagol was the ideal finder of the ring?

It is a bit strange though when applied to magical eyes.

Well, the ring was an artifact. I can understand this kind of thing happening to cursed artifacts - although even then, I think an MR save to realize the danger of picking it up might be appropriate; Gandalf (the LotR one, not the one from these Boards) refused the ring when it was offered to him. But knives of the damned or bane venom charms shouldn't have that kind of compulsion. (And of course magical eyes and hearts.)

BTW - in Dom II are there any magical replacement arms (since there is a lost arm affliction now)? It would be kind of cool to have a replacement arm with a grafted-on weapon of some sort - but you have to cut off an arm to put it on, unless you are already missing one.
