[QUOTE="jefgorbach, post: 5869804, member: 28278"] The problem is your player CANT simply Wish for such a ring/effect directly because presumably the spell(Wish) is limited to some unstated fraction of the 25,000gp value of non-magical items allowed by RAW and Polymorph is worth at LEAST 56,000gp using the crafting guidelines. RAW states a Wizard must be at least 7th level to learn 4th level spells like Polymorph, so such a ring would be 7(4)2000 for use-activated = 56,000gp base value, and even granting a 30% discount for being unremovable only reduces it to 39,200gp; well beyond the limit of a single Wish. However I could see a potential plot-source for such a ring: capital punishment. For instance, a powerful high level individual is eventually captured, tried, and banished after being forcibly outfitted with a cursed ring changing his race to ___ to negate his qualifications for the PRC/etc making him such a threat (because Cultural/etc circumstances prevent his direct execution). My suggestion would be to have the Wish grant him the knowledge where the existing owner/corpse is currently located, but not the hazards/guardians needing overcome unless he requested such details in the Wish; nor the fact wearing such a ring would drastically alter his choices of available feats, PRCs, etc. [/QUOTE]
