Message: <blockquote data-quote="wuyanei" data-source="post: 2694031" data-attributes="member: 28913">Shadowdweller: The two have one very important difference -- any thing crafted or made can be lost, stolen, suppressed or destroyed.This is one reason why I would allow an effective +1 caster level, but only through magical items, tattoos, daggers of death knell (what a wonderful idea, Shadowdweller!), or other such methods that have a built-in method of removal. As Li Shenron has said, +1 caster level by itself will not ruin any game. However, if there is no (relatively) light-handed way to remove the ability, granting such a potentially broken ability becomes a bad decision for a DM, IMHO.This has nothing to do with the usefulness of wish. It has everything to do with giving the players something that is potentially broken (only potentially, mind you) and that cannot be 'blood-lessly' removed.Finally, even though I would not allow it in my own game, perhaps you could house rule that the +1 CL bonus granted by wish is an innate bonus, just like the +1 innate bonuse granted to ability scores. Place a +5 CL limit to the bonus, and rule that, as with innate bonus to ability scores, innate bonuses form different sources do not stack, so you need 1 ~ 5 wishes one after the other to grant higher bonuses.This would probably close down the most serious loopholes. But still, I have a hard time imagining any spellcaster not[/i] saving five scrolls of wish, then giving herself a +5 innate bonus to CL as soon as possible.</blockquote>
