[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 894351, member: 4530"] Thanks for the feedback; very helpful, especially Pax and his Savage Species info. I forgot to check that chapter, LOL, and just skipped to the back to find the ECL. So, we have three options: 1) go with him losing three existing character levels (ouch!); 2) getting the full template in exchange for undertaking and successfully completing a quest of comparable risk of Bane's choice, with the reward for failure being (predictably) death and eternal punishment---with the 9th level character in question being unable to 'level" up after gaining the template until level 13; 3) gaining the new abilities over the next three "levels" (he won't be going up levels, but will get more of his template powers instead until achieving full transformation when his XP reaches enough to be level 12, making him still a level 9 character, but fully half-red dragon... Basically something like this: level "1" +4 Str, +1 Con, +1 Int, +1 Cha; claw/claw/bite level "2" +2 Str, +1 Con, +1 Int, +1 Cha, breath weapon 1/week level "3" +2 Str, Breath weapon 1/day, all HD advance one type (d12 max), wings (if applicable--not to this PC). I would say any of these options make it a "fair" use of a wish, but altogether much less palatable of a decision to make. NEW QUESTION: If the player balks at this, what should he wish for? Can he wish for a feat? 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 an 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? [/QUOTE]
