What would you wish for as a villain?

[Iron_Chef]

The PC in question is getting a wish from his god, Bane (LE) and needs advice on what he should wish for.

He is a LE Banite fighter 2/rogue 4/man of will 3 (Swashbuckling Adventures PrC that makes him immune to bluff, intimidate, fear and mind-affecting magic but unable to use spells or spell-like abilities). He dual wields two magic rapiers (one +1 flaming and one +1), he has a ring of invisibility and ring of +1 natural armor.

He has just gotten Spring Attack as his 9th level feat, and has a 20 Intelligence because he loves them skill points, LOL.

He stocks up on mundane but deadly goodies like paralysis pellets, poison, disease spreaders and other gadgets like some kind of evil Batman.

He can fly 1/day (hollow bones) and has darkvision (cat's eyes) thanks to previous infernal pacts with Bane for services rendered unto his glory, LOL (messing up a rather nasty Cyricist conspiracy in Zhentil Keep).

Suggestions on what to give the well-dressed Banite who has everything?

I don't know about the wish, but wouldn't the ability to fly once a day be a spell-like ability?

When he wants to be a proper evil overlord some day, he wants to survive without food, water, and fresh air. For when he has his own dungeon, he must stay in his endboss room all the time, lest the adventurers enter when he's out for lunch or something.

He is allowed supernatural abilities, and all effects from infernal pacts (which require a feat slot after the first pact) are considered supernatural abilities IMC; most have an unpleasant side effect. The first pact granted him flight, but at the expense of making his bones hollow like a bird's, so his STR is considered 4 less for bull rush, knockdown, knockback, etc. The second pact gave him darkvision 60 ft. but made his eyes become yellow and the irises like a cat's. The wish spell from a pact IMC says the fiend or deity granting the request can ask a favor of the bargainer in return for a "favor" of similar power. We don't hand out wish spells like candy IMC, LOL, and these pacts have their price...

Thanks a lot, everytime I wonder why I play low magic, I just need to read threads like this ... No offence, just joking!

Assuming he didn't wish for another feat... immunity vs. sneak attack? Would be a nice wish and Bane could screw him by turning him into an undead...

... or a construct. Nice flash golem, that one!

Not trying to make this a cop-out answer .. but, umm, what does the Banite want?

Why is he in service to Bane? Or what are his own goals?

If I take a moment to extrapolate based on what you've said, he basically wants lots and lots of power (for whatever reason: to be the ultimate servant? to get revenge on someone?)...

If he's just amassing power for the sake of power ... well, why not take one of the +1s and pump it up a notch.. say, natural armor +2 (instead of +1)... or do the same with one of the rapiers ?

aside from that, if he's not just amassing power for the sake of power, then would have to know more about why he does what he does... a lost love? (maybe bring that person back to life), etc...

anyway, just my late-night rambles.


Edit: Don't know why, just got this sudden image that maybe a familiar may be cool (though, call it something else like "Divine servant" but basically give it familiar abilities) ... but in order to not outshine anything, make the familiar abilities based as if a wizard of one half total character level. anyway, just another ramble.
