[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7937546, member: 53980"] I would warn them that there was a high risk of the wish going bad, potentially even character ending degrees of catastrophic, and give them a chance to change their mind. If they insisted, I would roll for it and base the result on a combination of the phrasing of the wish and a roll of the d20. On a 1 the results would be catastrophic. Perhaps they lose all spell slots except their one "extra" 9th level slot. On a 20, they get exactly what they wish for, an extra 9th level spell slot. On a 10 or 11 the wish doesn't do anything, because they tried to push the limits of mortal magic too far and it simply failed. In between those values they'd get varying degrees of success / failure. A 15, for example, might be an extra 9th level slot that only recharges once a month. A 5 might mean you get the extra slot but lose half of your other slots. Regardless of the outcome, they would still need to roll the 33% chance (although IMC that works a little differently) and they would have the weakness associated with casting wish. Note that I only go this route when players try to abuse wish. A more reasonable wish (in line with the examples from the spell description) would not run the additional risk. [/QUOTE]
