Raistlin's Cursed Money (Magic Coin)

During the Dwarfgate Wars, Raistlin (or Fistandantilus) made a deal with the dark dwarves. They betrayed their king and left the gates of Pax Tharkas open when Raistlin's army attacked. A victorious Raistlin paid the dark dwarves 100,000 steel coins.
The coins were cursed, however, to prevent the dark dwarves from double-crossing the wizard. If the owner of one of these coins goes back on his or her spoken word, the flesh of the owner's hands begins to turn black and rot away. This dread curse spreads slowly to the rest of the body until the victim dies.
The legendary effect of this money occurs only when the money is actually part of a promise. (If an NPC pays a PC in Raistlin's cursed money to stand guard, and the PC flees with the money, the curse will claim the character.) A person under the curse suffers 1d4 points of damage from rotting each day until he or she either makes good on the promise, receives a remove curse, or dies.
