Message: <blockquote data-quote="wuyanei" data-source="post: 2687294" data-attributes="member: 28913">+1 eff. caster is most certainly better than +1 to a stat. Consider what five such wishes will do -- +5 caster level + Holy word... or, for that matter, ten such wishes or more.For the two purposes you dicussed, both would be beyond the powers of wish, but to a different degree. Full Caster looking to have an effective caster level of HD + 1 is basically a orange ioun stone -- worth about 30000 gp -- that stacks, cannot be lost  and cannot be disjointed; while split caster (Ftr 10 / Sor 10 say) looking to increase effective caster level to HD is basically an extra bonus feat -- about 7500 ~ 12500 gp.Actually, I would say that the orange ioun stone is broken as written, since the +1 caster level from multiple orange ioun stones should not stack (but do stack by RAW).So yes, I am am aware that you are talking about caster levels only. My opinion is that as an item, the effects that you wish for are beyond the stated parmeters but not unbalancing nor broken -- thus not deserving of DM wish-twisting punishment. As a stackable, innate ability boost, it is beyond the scope of wish and potentially broken besides. I would not allow such a wish to be granted.</blockquote>
