"Can I help you?"

1) No. 2) Why would this concern you, HoboGod?

Come to the NYC area and track down the Gorilla Cheese truck. Simple American cheese + sauteed jalapenos + crumbled bacon = amazing Buffalo chicken = awesome sauce EDIT: I just realized today is Thursday and the truck will be stopped outside my office!!!!!!!

Two issues to start: 1) Rolling OVER your Int score penalizes a high Int. Is this your intention? 2) You are going to have a crappy time as DM tracking game time and how many days/hours/minutes it's been since he ate X victim and what impact the loss of that victim's bonuses have (including the...

That's too brutal. You could have a "light load" and be unable to swim. 5lb isn't much in the water. With that penalty, lifeguards dragging victims would drown like half the time. And, yes, you can swim carrying a cannonball.

See post #26. By RAW, you can Wish for anything. No limits. But, if the power of your Wish exceeds the parameters of the things listed in the Wish spell, the Wish spell specifically calls for repercussions. See post #21. That appears to be the consensus, with some saying less. Up to you to...

It's effective at work, even at compensation time. (Hint: start by asking for a paid sabbatical.)

Both myself and my sword, Burning Cinder Fury of Crimson Chaos Fire, agree.

I completely agree with EVERYTHING you say here. What I don't agree with is your earlier suggestion of giving them an ECL adjustment and the related XP as a "penalty." It wouldn't work. You need to "just say no" (as you suggest) or find an alternate penalty if they insist (like the flaws). If...

Ignoring "scaled" for a moment, the same thing would apply with Enlarge / Shrink, but I wouldn't argue that tattoos are impacted by those spells. This is magic we're talking about, and in ALL cases, I see wild shape as a change, not a replacement. Your skin grows scales/scaly and expands, but...

I don't see a dragon negotiating. Their final offer might very well be "give me everything you have and I won't kill you." On the other hand, if you had something (not with you) that the dragon particularly desired, I suppose a lawful dragon might be willing to exchange a task for it. I...

This. (sorry, cannot XP)

I see it that the skin changes, not that it gets traded / replaced. Therefore, what happens to tattoos is ambiguous.

There are plenty of things you can wish for that are outside the normal rules / outside what is normally available in a particular DM's game, that do not change your ECL. In the above example, wishing for a "neat magic weapon" does not provide a long term advantage over the party, assuming the...

I agree that this would work balance-wise, but i wouldn't penalize a character XP for wishing for fast healing 5 - too harsh. I would more likely tone it down to an approppraite level, or just give the player a hint they are asking for too much. Here is the problem with this reasoning. Let me...

So if I Wish for fast healing 100 for myself, and pay the XP cost of the Wish, I actually wind up with much more XP than when I started and fast healing 100? Can't you see where this is going? Gaining XP tp slow down later advancement is not a sufficient "penalty" to prevent absurd Wishes (like...

I think you went too far on this one. "I wish I was 5 levels higher." I get the levels AND the XP, then "pay" for it over time? Seems like I just gained 5 levels instantly with no penalty. Where do you draw the line? No way am I granting XP with a wish. Lots of ways to solve the regen wish...

Is that why they call you "Water Bob"?

Dangit! Someone should have told me that in high school.

I agree with Empirate Here is what I suggest: let him wish for "regeneration" and then you, as DM, can set the parameters based on what you think is fair given the power of the spell. Be it regen 0.5, regen 5 or regen 50.
