[QUOTE="Whimsical, post: 2122438, member: 3976"] [b]Wish construction set[/b] If the wish is coming from a hostile source (wish-twisting DMs,) then I would gift the wish to the local Big Bad Evil Guy as a "tribute" and observe how he uses the wish. Or, you can wish that the wishgranter enjoy living a fulfilling good life. See what the DM does with that. If you are willing to take the penalty (a.k.a. choosing to accept a interesting plot element for your character) and gamble making the wish work for you then try the following... Don't wish that you [i]had[/i] anything. "I wish that I now have..." Define who or what you want based on your knowledge and perceptions: "...known to me as..." Define when: "...instantly and permanently..." Define what or where you want the effect: "...upon the item/person/location that I am now touching with my right hand..." Set the entire wish upon your preferences: "...exactly as I intend to happen, without any consequenses that I don't want." After you write down the wish: Have high Spellcraft PCs and NPCs check the wording of the wish as a lawyer would check a contract. Also check Knowledge(arcane), Knowledge(history), and Bardic knowledge for any known instances and consequences of wishes used in the past. Have a god check if your wish will work with [i]Commune[/i]. Good luck. :) WARNING: Certain "I dare you" DMs will rather break the rules then let you actually "win" a wish. But even though your character will probably still suffer somehing, It's fun to just do a "HA!" to such a DM and know that you have won anyhow. [/QUOTE]
