     Should the price of the more common and useful stuff get lowered?

     How about reducing the cost of detect magic and detect curse altars?

     My opinion: no. As an adventurer, you've to be careful about what you're 
trying to use/wear/eat/drink. Reducing the cost of detect curse would also 
reduce the level of risk.

     If people are not ready to take the risk that some unidentified items can turn 
out to be bad (cursed/damned) ones, why are they playing RPGs ? I see no 
reason to change anything around the cursed items - it would only result in 
making the game less dangerous (and thus less fun IMHO). 
Probably a better option would be to add better comments in the Crossfire 
Player's Guide about curse and damnation, so people would know by advance the 
risks related to the use of unidentified items.
