I've also seen this taken once, in 3E. It was a 100+40+5 point game, so the PC with Cursed got an extra 35 points, huge. The Cursed PC got fatally struck by lightning in his first adventure. Oops.

(It wasn't quite a "rocks fall you die" hose job; the adventure involved crossing a field during a lightning storm, and there was a small chance of getting struck, but Cursed influenced the dice a bit. First, instead of picking a random PC at risk, Cursed protected the Cursed PC's allies by volunteering the Cursed PC as tribute. Second, Cursed added some kind of negative modifier to the die roll. Third, the player rolled poorly. Fourth, everyone laughed.)
