[QUOTE="bbjore, post: 6065688, member: 27539"] I guess it's all about how powerful you're going to make wish in your campaign. Me, I want it to be epic, so unless they come up with a tremendously awesome new version of it, it's going to an ultra powerful spell that will only work once for any individual when cast by the same caster. If you want more wishes, you'll have to find somebody else that can cast wish. I think only having one wish each would put a pretty hard limit on what the PCs use it for. I'm also a fan of it aging you in theory, but I think at the table, you'd run into issues with having that really matter. You could also tone down what it could do and make it more useful. Another neat way to do it for a wizard would be to allow them one wish, but when they make a second one, the first is reversed. This would make it a tremendously useful spell, appropriate for 9th level, but prevent it from being abused multiple times. Want a +4 to Int? Sure. Wait, now you want to know Vecna's true name? Ok, but your intelligence goes back to 20. I think it would lead to some interesting strategy on the part of the wizard if this was the case. [/QUOTE]
