Unless you (the DM) are doing something wrong, Wish spells are not going to be easy to come by- so if a player wants to do something powerful with a Wish, let them. In my campaigns, I even allow players to get more than a +5 to an ability score- provided they somehow find a way to get more than six wishes at their disposal. If they get them through casting the spell themselves, that's an entire level they've just given up- and if they buy a manual that lets them do it, that's hundreds of thousands of GP they could have spent on something much more applicable.I also allow Wish spells to stack, so if you find a +1 manual and use it, then find a +2 manual, your bonus becomes a +3. This not only fits my purpose, but formula-wise, it doesn't make any sense not to. A +2 manual costs exactly the same as two +1's, and so on- which goes against all of the other pricing/stacking precendents. After all, a +4 belt costs four times as much as a +2 belt, because they don't stack and higher bonuses should be harder to come by. With manuals, however, they don't- and yet they don't stack. In other words, any manual of +4 or lower is useless, because in the event that a +5 is found, the +4 has done nothing and won't serve any more purpose.</blockquote>
