[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 9670759, member: 786"] The rules I have for PC wishes back in 2e/3e: 1. The wish must be a single sentence, and can have only one subject and one object. It can have any number of clauses affecting those terms, but a wish can only really do ONE thing. 2. Once you know the spell wish, and you tell me (the DM) you're casting wish, the next sentence you finish using "wish" as a verb is it. 3. If you're using the wish to save yourself/teammates/etc., I'm not going to monkey's paw the wish or twist it in anyway. If, however, in any other manner, the more benefit you gain, the more likely the twist will happen. As a result, I never had to twist or monkey's paw a single wish, and my players never abused it. The even managed to figure out a simple plug-n-play wish structure that they could use to ad-lib an adequate and safe wish on the fly. With the new wish spells/rituals, I generally allow spell duplication completely safely. I also tell my players that what's in the book is the base version of the spell - safe, generally covers everything you need, and reasonably priced. But the spell is actually unlimited, but the price increases and safety decreases (both rapidly) once you step beyond those limits. No-one's taken me up on it yet. [/QUOTE]
