Not seeing any real problems.

His granddad's senile and the items are normal quality items.
Alternatively, they have a mild curse that's enough to be a bother but not enough to be worth going armourless.

> To collect them, bring this letter to Asmodeus & Asmodeus Legal Associates in [line unreadable], they will give you the key to my deposit box upon proof of lineage.

Good solution

I feel like if someone is stipulating that an item is "uncursed" then it's probably absolutely cursed.

That would actually make for a funny as hell merchant though.

>"Oh yes, a very finely crafted uncursed rope right there. Oh not interested? Then how about this fantasically forged uncursed dagger?"

Do you want your possessions identified?

All of the items have the same derpy curse where you have to specifically say that they're uncursed when talking about them. In no way can you intentionally communicate to anyone that they are cursed or omit the word "uncursed" from their description, through words, writing, tone, body language, or even thoughts (In the event of mind reading or mental communication magic).

There is no other effect of the curse.

>blessed +3 greased silver dragon scale mail
I'm pretty sure you can't skin a creature so fundamentally attuned to Good, make armor out of it, and then "bless" it. Was grandpa Chaotic Evil?

>Show up to get it
>We got robbed!
>What, did you think that nobody would want such valuable items? Track the thief down if you want them back.

>polymorph self to dragon
>cut off your tail
>polymorph back to human
>repeat until you have enough scales
Grandpa always said "no pain, no gain".

Doesn't uncursed only mean you're allowed to take it off this one time?

So it was uncursed, taken off his body, put in a box, and sent to the boy.

*WHOOPS*

What? No! No! Don't be like that. I am totally a good guy. I made my fortunes doing legitimate business in the honest business trade.

>this is what your grandfather would have bestowed upon you, unfortunately he died with those same heirlooms on his person when he fell into the volcano

Unfortunately, the polymorph ring means your 'grandfather' is actually your grandmother, and your female cousin is her legal heir. You're going to have to fight in court to get this scribble to be accepted as a valid will.

Uncursed in this context means "neither cursed nor blessed".

The fuck is a blessed item anyway
This is D&D not NetHack

so it's the roguelike definition, not the dragon-quest & shining-force definition?

This guy DMs

OP put things in nethack wish parser form. So yeah, 's nethack.

You're not thinking cre-at-ive-ly
