[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2351571, member: 29014"] Please don't resort to this sort of pointless and false accusations--it seems to be a large percentage of your argument here. There are a lot of things I could have commented about that you have said that are utterly unreasonable, but I am trying not to do so, as they wouldn't be constructive. I'm not sure about you, but I'm not trying to *win* anything here. Let's get down to your assertion though--no matter how you try to phrase it, you [i]have[/i] given them free wishes. Yes. Free. Permanent spells cast upon them at the start of the game? Nope. You've once again given the character free power. It is unreasonable to give a player free power based on what she wrote in her backstory. If my backstory says, "And that was when I convinced the god Boccob to be my lackey," then that doesn't mean I get Boccob as a lackey. Free magic item without paying for it that is the prereq for a PrC? No way! The PrC requires the item for a reason. This is not just what some would term "munchkinism" by which I mean using all the rules advantages in your favour. I respect people who do that. This is ignoring the rules. Per RAW, you do not start with unlimited free wishes for no reason. If you did, then my non VoP character will start with 10000 wishes and build up 250,000,000 gold. Not so. The rules are against you. You don't just get spells cast on you for free at the outset of the game. Everything counts against your gold. [/QUOTE]
