[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6888927, member: 4937"] In my opinion as a DM, that's the whole purpose of giving PC's access to wishes. Sometimes your friend happens to fall through a portal to the negative elemental plane and would be lost forever, except... you've got that wish item you found 3 levels ago. Those sorts of wishes in my game never go wrong, because that's precisely what the wish was meant to provide for - an in narrative reason that the PC's have protection from plot. A wish to be stronger is a terribly short sighted use of a wish. You are taking a item that can be used to absolutely alter reality, and using it to give you a relative advantage in combat. That's a complete misunderstanding of what usually kills a character, and complete misunderstanding of the relative importance of a wish. Raise dead can save you from death. You can burn XP to craft an item. Wish can do things to recover from Bad Things Have Happened that pretty much no other spell can do. [/QUOTE]
