[QUOTE="green slime, post: 924270, member: 1325"] The people I know and play the game with play the [i]time stop[/i] with a strict interpretation: You cannot affect the other characters during that time, you cannot cast spells with a duration of Instantaneous while under the effect of [i]time stop[/i], You need [i]Delayed Blast Fireball[/i] or the Delay Spell feat. IF someone (PC) even tried to [i]wish[/i] for something so ludricrous, they would be pelted with die and told to go look elsewhere. Really. What on earth gave you the idea that this [i]wish[/i] is even remotely equivalent to any of the guidelines provided? Even if this munchkinny ability to rememorize all spells were allowed, you forget that the expenditure of 5,000 XP is no mere pittance (It is just under 1/8th of the XP to gain 42nd from 41st, or in other words, more than what would be received for an average encounter at that level) This [i]wish[/i] is ludcrious on several levels, not least of which is the fact that it scales up with the wishers level. A [i]wish[/i] can generally be used to emulate 1 (one) spell. Not reuse all of your spells for today. Just a single spell. The mind boggles that somebody might even contemplate allowing this [i]wish[/i] in their game. Furthermore, an Epic level mage of that caliber would probably be wary of [i]time stop[/i] as they would be aware of the existance of Spell Stowaway (Time Stop) Which is readily available to all Wizards/Sorcerers of no greater than 21st. The effect of all of a sudden standing around, isolated from your team mates, with a hostile enemy mage or two, could be hazardous. Lastly, I would never allow the nestling of [i]time stop[/i]. Any player who strongly disagrees, and doesn't like that can go find another game. [/QUOTE]
