What would be an interesting "custom" curse from a cleric of Umberlee? Thanks!

Are you speaking of a verbal curse, like "May Umberlee hold you to her cold bosom!" or a magical curse, like having to worry about drowning in mud puddles?

I'd just go for effect(for Bestow Curse)-skin to fish scales(-6 Chr), feet to fin(-6 Str), Gills(-6 Con),or a partal transfomation into water(ever see X-men the movie) (for -4 on rolls). Otherwsie things like -15 to all swim checks or treated as double weight in the water 'if you fall in the water She will drag you down'. All marine creatures are hostile could also work.

She's very into drowning, so maybe, can no longer breathe in air, or perhaps just lungs fill with water.

Also, she likes sharks, so maybe an attack from a terlen or a spectral shark that can float through the air.

Nah, Barbarella (the comic-book).

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Maybe she would send 'Drowned' (who have the ability to fill one's lungs with water) against someone who has offended her. And her clerics surely would create these undead monstrosities...

I just don't remember where 'Drowned' were featured.
