OUT OF COMBAT
If you are in contact with metal outside of combat for 10 minutes, roll a d20. If 1 - 10, you feel the effects of the curse and become aggressive. If 11 - 20, you fight off the effects of the curse and remain unchanged. You also need to roll for a perception ability check to see if you notice the effect or not (1-10 fail, 11-20 save).
If you notice the metal contact, you can remove it and will no longer be affected by it.
For every 10 minutes of contact with metal, you need to roll a d20 to see if the curse affects you. If you fail 5 times you make a melee attack against anyone within 5 feet of you, or move towards a creature in line of sight to attack it.
IN COMBAT
In combat, if you are injured by a large piece of metal (a greataxe, longsword, broadsword, etc.) to the point where you are below a third of your Hit Points, you are affected by the metal particles in your wounds. For each round you need to roll a d20 to see if you are affected by the curse (1-10 you feel the effects, 11-20 you don't feel them). You make a melee attack on a random creature within 5 feet of you (Roll a d4, d6, d8 or d12 depending on number of creatures). If no creature is within 5 feet, you move towards a creature in your line of sight. If you can't see any creatures, move in a random direction (roll a d12).
While under the influence of the curse you are resistant to lightening, poison and fire. You can be charmed or knocked unconscious to halt the effect of the curse.
At the end of a long rest you need to roll a d20 will check (add Wisdom, Constitution or Charisma modifier) to see if you gain a corruption point, lose or keep the same level of corruption.
