what if a dragonborn war uses it

Does remove curse allow for the armor to be removed just that once or afterwards does it get stuck on them again and require another spell?

Yes. Remove curse allows you to doff the armor. If you put it back on, then you're cursed anew and would, again, require that someone remove your curse.

I think it is COOL :].

 Would remove curse also remove the item's magical properties?

sooooo... basically +1 plate mail with an unarmed attack that's equal to a longsword? Pretty crummy for a very rare ngl.

The curse is neat and I wish there were more cursed objects in 5e but honestly I'd be better off just using +1 plate Mail and a +1 Longsword in most situations. Both together give the same bonus without the curse and don't even take up an attunement slot, not to mention that combined they'd probably be cheaper than a Very Rare.

TL:DR I like the thought not the execution.

I love it it is good

  putting this on a npc is a good idea!

Wearing this thing would be one of the most horrifying things I can imagine.

We're talking about a 65 pound suit of interlocking metal plates. Imagine never being able to take that off: constantly feeling the weight of it on your body. Psychological concerns of stress and claustrophobia aside, your bigger problem is physical, because over time you'd develop the most hideous pressure sores and bruises imaginable where the plates contacted your body. You'd never being able to take a bath or eliminate bodily waste in any way that gives you cleanliness or dignity, not to mention never really being able to get any kind of good night's sleep. You'd also never be able to properly wash the armor while you had it on, so the inside of the armor would accumulate over the months with grease, body odor, oil, blood, hair and whatever bodily waste you now constantly have to smell, developing horrible rashes from contact with this filth. Gnats and other small insects would swarm around you, and when it got bad enough, they might even breed in the pockets of filth coating the armor. Did we even mention temperature? What about when it's blazing hot and, God forbid, you have to move in that thing? Sweat would be pouring down every part of your body, stinging your rashes and open sores, running into your eyes (you can't take the helmet off). I don't know if any of you have ever had swamp-butt before, but it's NOT pleasant. Let's not even talk about the horrible athlete's foot you're guaranteed to get so that every step would be hideously painful. Some poor guy who spent six months in that thing would literally want to die just so it could end.

 I agree completely, this would be a terrible experience for whoever wields it. With that in mind, I will give it to my level 4 players.

It's not meant to be an equipment upgrade for players. How much it would cost in comparison to a +1 plate and +1 longsword is inconsequential, because it's not something that players should find in a shop any way...

It's meant as the kind of thing that the champion of a demon-worshipping cult would wear and to teach the incautious character (and player) who loots it off their corpse and puts it on a lesson about messing with items that are obviously the result of dark magic.

It's 'very rare' to, basically, give DMs a guideline on how often something like this should show up in a campaign (not often).
