Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lonely Tylenol" data-source="post: 3163806" data-attributes="member: 18549">On the one hand, I agree with that sentiment.  On the other, I try not to make moral judgments against people for pursuing actions that are legitimate based on the rules.Here's a question: what does casting Wish three times do to inconvenience an efreeti other than take up 18 seconds of his time?  In other words, if I were to summon an efreeti and make him cast wish for me, why would that make him more angry than if I were to summon him for any other reason?  And along that line of argumentation, doesn't that mean that any use of Planar Binding will precipitate the invasion of a planar hit squad bent on revenge?I'm not sure I like having to contrive a story as to why efreet hate to grant wishes and see the demand of such as a capital offence, since it seems to be no skin off their backs.  Sure, they like to pervert wishes, but that's part of why they like to grant them.  If you're clever, you may be able to outwit the genie.I do, however, like the requirement that the wishes be made with no reference to in-game terminology.  It's hard to wish for an innate bonus to your ability scores if the words "innate bonus" and "ability scores" are removed from the lexicon.  Of course, that would just change the wishes to "I wish for a scroll of the Wish spell".  The pile of scrolls that would accrue from multiple castings would be sufficient to raise everyone's scores, and since the risk of scroll mishaps is so low, it's probably worth it.</blockquote>
