One of my players just informed me of a cheeseball way of enhancing his ability scores: planar binding. This 6th level spell can be used to call an efreeti, who can grant 3 wishes. Assuming that the party is already 11th or 12th level, an efreeti isn't exactly a scary monster for them, so they can threaten it with death if it doesn't make with the wishes post-haste. The wishes are used to increase ability scores in the manner that Wish is able to do. At the point where more than 3 wishes are needed, a second efreeti can be called.
Assume the caster makes a calling diagram and has a dimensional anchor spell ready to go, not that efreet have dimensional travel abilities. An efreeti isn't likely to make the Cha check off the bat, and if he does, he's screwed anyway. Aside from the old "perverting the wording of the wishes" shtick, which my players are unlikely to slip up on due to extreme paranoia, is there any reason why this shouldn't work, per the RAW. It seems that for no XP outlay and at 11th level, the party can add +5 to each ability score of each party member.
Certainly I can bring down the ban-hammer on it, but I like to find legitimate ways of disallowing things before I start house-ruling stuff.
