An incurable curse seems pretty anti-fun.

Is there any truth to the idea of using henchmen as a meatshield to absorb the curse? What about, say, a thrown rat?

Never had a bat massacre people with an axe before.
EDIT2: Oh god, the bat has got a title now.

Yes, I *think* your henchmen can absorb the curse.  I snuck into a tomb and let my companions run in before I attacked; this particular mummy said the usual line, but iirc it was addressing one of my companions, and I never got the "you feel horrible" message.

I believe that you can avoid curses with companions, although I think the curse-throwing message is triggered by "HELLO MY NAME IS MUMMY PREPARE TO DIE" so probably sneaking and letting someone else trigger him is the way to go. Also, the mummy-raised undead are not hostile to vampire or necromancers

The last mummy who killed me gave me the Prepare to Die! prompt, but didn't curse me until a few rounds into the fight where I got the message You feel horrible! in red text.

I dumped a human mummy into magma over in the arena.  He lived through it.  Fat completely burned off and he's constantly gushing blood, but he's been in there for a while now and I don't think he's going to melt anytime soon.


Edit: I dropped another fifty of them in because why not, and all of them survive their magma baths.

I've heard of people having success taking out husks with fire...looks like that technique won't work on these guys.

I hate mummies so god damn much. I will hate them for as long as I live.
