[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 267897, member: 2829"] That's because the rules say "no". I disagree. See below for more info. You know, a failed wish is a failed wish. Either you get it or you don't. If you wished yourself out of a dungeon, and that's all you said, not being specific, you may very well end up in another dungeon, because there are limitless answers to your wish. In the case of a +1 BAB, you're being very specific. Failure is failure. Besides, my argument is that it's far enough beyond the reach of the power of wish, that it will fail every time you try it. Funny, I thought I did that. *shrug* ROTFLMAO Woho! Ohh, that's rich!!! LOL Actually, I put forth my argument that Epic Prowess is far outside the power of Wish, but you didn't get it. Oh well. First, that quote is from one of my posts. You're taking it way out of context. Snipped on it's own like that, it has no meaning at all. Obviously, you don't have a clue as to why I posted that and what it means. Secondly, learn to... ...properly. Thanks. Heh. I didn't use my Epic Prowess argument until after the ELH hit the streets. Nice try, but try again. You're finally catching on. Maybe, but I don't know. See previous post. I already demonstrated my opinion as to why a +1 BAB increase is outside the power of wish. Yup. Wish is a rule-breaker, and it's meant to be that way. This is just one rule that is far outside the power of wish. Tell you what. If you, in character, can show me, the DM, how you can conceptualize and envision a +1 increase in your BAB, I might think about it. If you can do that without your wish sounding like crap, if you can do that without any metagame knowledge, if you can do that completely in character and in role-play, I might think about it. Come to think of it, if you wish for a +1 BAB, you are doing so for the sole purpose of gaining an extra attack, and one of the possible results from wish could be that you suddenly, and quite permanently, lose a level. There. Now you can earn XP and level again, only this time, I would strongly suggest that you take a level in something that will bump up your BAB high enough. If one level drain isn't enough, two might do it as well. So there ya' go. A +1 BAB increase for the purpose of gaining another attack via level/multiple level loss so that you may re-level your character in the proper way so as to gain your extra attack. And Wish did it. See? I'm willing to work with ya. [/QUOTE]
