These cursed items appear to be bracers of protection until used in combat. At that time they reveal themselves to be less than useless as they not only provide no protection whatsoever, but they also negate up to 4 points of protection from other sources (e.g., ring of protection, cloak of protection, etc.). Once this has occured, the bracers of wounding cannot be removed until a successful remove curse spell or ritual is employed. The bracers are considered to be a rank 20 major curse. |
