[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 2201874, member: 103"] Great response, Icy Cool. I agree with your suggested change of "almost always will try and screw you over". Perhaps I am being too nonchalant about an efreeti's malace in terms of likelihood of getting the wish out of him/her. From my experience with LE creatures (specifically, dragons), very intelligent LE creatures may be out to subvert the rules but are not malicious in the same way CE creatures are. They are primarily interested in their own benefit. If they want to subvert the rules, it will typically be to their own benefit if at all possible, but they still abide by the letter of whatever their agreement is, perhaps not the intent though. The whole thing is getting the efreeti to grant you the wishes in the first place. I think this is possible, but again, you are right, that is a very subjective conclusion. Thanks for the response.
