[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 5894306, member: 29252"] RAW, the Magic Item Creation clause of [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/wish.htm]Wish[/url] has no fixed limit. That said, it's still limited: ([U]emphasis[/U] added) So while you can Wish up +5 Heavy Fortification, Greater [Sonic, Fire, Electricity, Cold, & Acid] Resistance, Undead Controlling, Etherealness, Greater [Silent Moves, Shadow, Slick], Glammered Adamantine Full Plate, it costs 55,556 xp to do it (5,000 for Wish, plus twice the 25,278 xp it would cost to craft). Wishes from magic items don't cost XP... because it was imbued at the time of crafting, which also means that wishes from magic items don't have the option of improving magic items. A Wish from a critter that gets it as a spell-like ability can theoretically give you any item you want that way... but that's a game balance problem of bypassing costs, not an inherent issue with Wish itself. The problem here is that you're getting into Custom Magic Item Creation - which, as noted in the section where you find those tables, are just guidelines and a starting point. They're really intended for DM use only, for good reason. You'd have to ask your DM how much it costs to make, and if it's a viable item at all. Depends on the source of the Wish. If he's casting it himself, I'd let it work... if he's got the 36,836 XP to burn. If it's coming out of an item, then the specific amount of XP available to the Wish he's using was put in at the time of the crafting, and won't sustain the cost. If he's getting it from something that has Wish as a 'free' ability, well, my [U]house rule[/U] in that regard is that 'extra' XP above and beyond the base cost of Wish has to come from somewhere. It works, but it drains 31,836 XP from him in the process, probably dropping him a few levels. Depends on whether or not I felt like twisting. If I want to twist, that doesn't stop me - I just use the wish to horribly, horribly twist the person's perspectives, first. If he's PoA'd into something Mindless, well, he can't interpret anymore, so nothing happens beyond the PoA to turn him into something Mindless. [/QUOTE]
