[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 2178830, member: 103"] So it sounds like the only reason to not do this has nothing to do with the game but fiat of the DM. That sounds kind of lame to me. If I was the DM and a player was knowledgable enough to know about efreeti, was sly enough to engineer an appropriate planar binding, and crafty enough to propose an amenable set of wishes, I am not going to alter what that player wants just because he used game mechanics effectively - that would just be assanine. Heck, as a player casting planar binding I would pose it like this: "Efreeti, I would like you to grant me 3 wishes, the third of which I will use to benefit you (without any harm to myself). You don't have to grant me these wishes. In fact, you can go back to your plane at any time. But I have a feeling you might want to stick around and reap the benefits of that third wish. What say you?" If I was a player and the DM continually made every Efreeti warp the wishes I was asking for even after using a wish for the efreeti, I would know that the problem was not with the Efreeti, or the spell but with my DM.
