[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 2433516, member: 12032"] [b]Some thoughts[/b] In 1st and 2nd edition I'd let this wish slide. Maybe drain a point of CON, but probably not. In 3rd edition I rule wishes as two different spells. The safe, well-defined and fairly limited. [B]And the not-safe and [U]very powerful.[/U][/B] Those wishes may be being granted by a divine being with its own goals. As long the the caster knows the difference.... I'd make a serious change to the PCs. Things I'd consider: Change them to a +1 ECL race immune to poison. Drop them a level in the process (so their ECL is the same). They come back, but are slated to die in 60 days time. I can see some kind divine accountant (LN of course) explaining their situation to them (like reading a warranttee). They need to figure out how to get around/out of the "life extention" deal. Or maybe they just die in 60 days. As above, but the deal is they can never again be raised from the dead. Actually I like that one a lot. Take a level (per raise dead). Give the 3 PCs a new save. If they fail they are still dead. Let them _be_ dead, but come back as something other than a living creature. There is a PrC in the BoED for this which might make sense for good PCs. Let some divine creature get involved. Some type of quest, favor, etc. could be given. Depends on where your plot is at the moment. What shouldn't happen is that this be cost-free. Now with the DM error on the poison, I'd consider having the failed save just do what is was supposed (rather than instant death) with the wish. So the CON drain.... Tell us what you end up doing....
