In my current game, my two best ammo launchers were both cursed when I
picked them up. One was a boring heavyXbow that was about (-5,-5)
that just needed some enchants to make it superior to my longbow. The
second was a sling of the nazgul, which is useless for damage, but
provided SI without costing me a ring slot.
On a related note, I don't know whether a feature of NPP is really
annoying or really cool. I guess it is both.
OrbsOfDraining [OODs]
destroy cursed items on the ground in V and presumably most variants.
In NPP, priests lob OODs at you, and they can destroy cursed items in
your backpack. In three separate games of NPP, I had a fighter
carrying home a launcher of the nazgul who had the launcher dissolve
in the backpack because of an OOD attack.
