D&D 5E Turn into vampire with wish?

[Campbell]

I would certainly allow it, but you would also be a Vampire for reals. Sounds like fun.

 

[Tonguez]

For reals? So, what, the only snacks and drinks he can have on game night is blood?

Here's what I would do if in that situation.

Let the monk wish to become a vampire. Nothing happens then. A little while later the monk meets the love of their life. Then later they run into a group of vampires. Have the vampires kill the love interest and turn the monk into a vampire. Be sure the transformation is instant and not crippling so the monk can quickly act afterwords. Naturally the monk will want to attack the vampires. Thats when you reveal the twist that vampires in your world are magically unable to kill other vampires!

 

[Shiroiken]

No problem. As you speak your wish, you are teleported to a handy rack in Strahd's basement. A few nibbles later you're a full-fledged vampire spawn, bound to his whim.

Old School Wish fulfillment, right here

The lesson here is to just never interact with Wish in D&D.

Ever.

Tradition demands it be 100% nothing but harmful to you and any attempts to give you a wish should be considered a hostile act. You will never actually get what you ask for, especially not something you couldn't get normally (ie a thing you would wish for). If forced to Wish, cut your tongue out, because even wishing for death will result in it being as slow and torturous as possible.

 

[Cordwainer Fish]

If forced to Wish,

"I wish this wish won't be granted."

 

[Seramus]

"I wish this wish won't be granted."

One of the old Wizards Three articles with Elminster, Mordenkainen, and Dalamar mentions that any Archmage worth their salt made their first Wish to be "Immunity to Wish."

 

[Zardnaar]

It's within the power of the spell imho but then you get promoted to NPC.

 

[Vaalingrade]

Would no one just have the spell not work or just say no if they're so concerned about the vampire PC?
