The curse of my life choices Life is a series of choices. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we go to bed at night, we are constantly making decisions that shape the course of our lives. Some choices may seem insignificant, like what to wear or what to have for breakfast, while others may have far-reaching consequences. Unfortunately, I have found myself trapped in the curse of my life choices. It seems that every decision I make ends up leading me down the wrong path, like a never-ending spiral of misfortune. Whether it’s relationships, career choices, or even everyday choices, I always seem to make the wrong ones.
Pricing magic items is a large debate among D&D players. The price of a magic item, according the DMG, is based on the item's rarity. However, an item's rarity is not always a good measure of the item's power in relation to other items. The table below shows how items are priced (as described in Xanathar's Guide to Everything). However, when you make the roll on this page, we have also included the value based on the homebrew Sane Price Guide. The DM has full discretion on which price to use, and if they want to modify the price even more.

Whether it’s relationships, career choices, or even everyday choices, I always seem to make the wrong ones. I can’t help but wonder why I continually find myself in this predicament. Is it a lack of foresight on my part? Are my decision-making skills flawed? Or is it simply bad luck? It’s an endless cycle of regret and self-doubt that weighs heavily on my shoulders.

Magic Item Purchase Complication
The magic item trade is fraught with peril. The large sums of money involved and the power offered by magic items attract thieves, con artists, and other villains. If you want to make things more interesting, you can roll on the complications table or invent your own complication. Note: Most downtime activities have a 10% chance of a complication, however Xanathar's Guide to Everything makes complications optional when buying a magic item.

One of the main reasons for this curse, I believe, is a fear of failure. I am so terrified of making the wrong choice that it often paralyzes me into making no choice at all. This fear of failure stems from a deep-rooted lack of confidence in myself and my abilities. I constantly second-guess myself and question whether I am capable of making the right decision. Another contributing factor to this curse is the influence of others on my decision-making. I often find myself seeking validation and approval from those around me, which can lead me to make choices that align with their expectations rather than my own desires. This lack of autonomy over my own choices further perpetuates the curse. Breaking free from the curse of my life choices is a constant struggle. It requires a shift in mindset and a willingness to take risks. I must learn to trust myself and believe in my own capabilities. It will require embracing failure as a learning opportunity rather than a source of shame. Ultimately, the curse of my life choices can only be broken when I take control of my own destiny. I need to stop being a victim of circumstance and start taking ownership of the choices I make. Only then can I hope to break free from this never-ending cycle and find the path that leads to happiness and fulfillment..
