Message: <blockquote data-quote="MDK" data-source="post: 6077277" data-attributes="member: 6705182">A very interesting thread! Here's my 2 cents:First, the whole Can\t grant wishes to genies bit always struck me as very odd indeed, and got houseruled out ages ago.As for the OP's question, assuming the PCs are nice about and willing to pay, I have no poblems with it, they can rinse and repeat as often as they please. I WOULD put the price at roughly 27500gp per statpoint (same as a statbooster book), and since a level 12 PC is assumed to have roughly 88000 gp this means they'd be able to get at most a +3 to a single stat, at the price of loosing most if not all of their other gear: Tim the Enchanter now has an inherent +3 to Int, his spellbook, and a spare set of underwear. And this is with me being nice and giving them full value for their equipment, too (actually I'd let them bargain for a 50% discount on the spell, and accept magic items as payment at the regular half-price sales value so they can feel pleased with themselves for driving a hard bargain). Meanwhile, Mr Genie earned a boatload of money in under 10 minutes (including bargaining time), and with any luck got to enjoy watching the mortals squirm as they try to decide what items to give up in payment, too. Win-win.If the PCs are NOT nice about it, Mr Genie will grant their wishes, and first thing in the morning will spend one wish to UNDO his wishing from the previous day, and if they annoyed him enough, may choose to spend 1 or 2 more wishes to make their lives miserable (if I hadn't ruled they can grant their own wishes he'd be using a helper to let him do so anyway). If they REALLY made him angry, welll, there's always 3 more wishes tomorrow...And yes, I'd give the party a few skill checks to realise this before they start their abusive actions, as well as the notion that this kind of extortion strictly for personal gain is neither Good nor even Neutral, and will be taken into account regarding their alignment.</blockquote>
