I was trying to sleuth around for an answer before posting anything but I can't seem to come up with anything. I am running Descent into Avernus with a party of 5 and the party is heading into Vanthampur Villa soon which means they will be coming across the Shield of the Hidden Lord. It is VERY likely the party will keep it based on motivations and alignment. I am not too worried about that but what I don't like is that the details on his personality and how to free him are RIGHT THERE on the item description. Is there a way to remove this information for the players?
I had considered making a copy of the shield and just removing those details from the item but I wanted to know if there is perhaps another way.
Nope, that's about it. Cursed items all show that fact in the description. Homebrewing a copy is the way to go. This also lets you change the name in case there's a chance that any of your players might already be familiar with the shield.
