But that's ALSO stupid. Much better to simply not have the spell. As a player, it feels much more shitty to have a DM "cheat" around an ability that to never have an ability
Like I said:
Like I said, I agree with you about not just cancelling it entirely unless there's an OOC discussion about making a house rule about it.
You can't let the players ruin your fun (and, likewise, their own, because it turns a challenging situation into some stupid anticlimax and basically removes curses from the game as a mechanic). Likewise you can't ruin your players' fun and just unilaterally say this curse is removal-proof. Fortunately, there are multiple middle ground third options available, that preserve the fun for all parties involved.
Oh yeah, I totally agree that players will "happily" optimize all the fun out of a game if you'll let them.
