ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

It is now possible to avoid getting cursed as a result of opening coffins in the Last Hope graveyard by using precognition. However, if you avoid it, once the coffin shatters, an undead will spawn. If there are several coffins that can give you the curse, several nasty undead will spawn.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

feature; always has been
