[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 3008240, member: 30709"] If they're doing that, then they aren't following the core rules for Wish. Building feats around people misinterpreting a spell doesn't seem a good design paradigm. ;-) At heart, Wish spells you cast in 3.X are not misinterpreted unless you exceed a specific boundary: and when you do so, you're arguably puhsing the power level of a 9th level spell anyway, and don't deserve to get exactly what you want. Especially if Krusty's spell system is going to include 10th level spells plus, then making Wish all the more potent seems a recipe for disaster. Why take an 11th level spell slot when you can take this feat and bang one out in exchange for a 9th level slot? Hell, why not just cast a Wish and ask for some 11th level spell slots? As for it perhaps being useable on other entities casting Wish for you: well, that's one possibility, but I think it would have to be phrased a bit better: I'd take "your Wishes" to mean Wish spells you cast, not spells cast by otehr people. THat's like saying a feat which lets you "add 1d6 elemental damage to your arrows when used in ranged combat, choosing the type of damage when they strike" means you can buy a bunch of arrows and hand them out to your friends, and when they shoot them you can choose to trigger +1d6 fire damage or whatever then: "your" is perhaps deceptively vague. Especially since in these situations it's the Devil or whatever casting the spell, why should your feat force him to pick a different target or effect for his spell if it doesn't explicitly say so? It might be frowned on by those who prefer RP and rules to be seperate, but one way to both achieve this goal and give a more general purpose feat might be some sort of epic feat that enables the character to always say what he means to say: his supernatually broad vocabularly prevents him from having any "let him have it" moments. An odd thing to spend a feat on, but a note that says "this may aid you in not getting caught in wordplay with demonic apcts, etc" might make it worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
