[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 4792698, member: 39394"] This reminds me of one of the old time D&D players, Ryk Spoor (went by the handle of Sea Wasp) who used to post on the usenet D&D forums. He used to talk about a power level chart that he had developed for wishes that clarified what each wish could do, depending on the source. So a wish from a minor fae spirit in the forest might not be able to accomplish much more than a prestidigitation. A wish from one of the Lords of Hell might be able to grant any resource or enhancement Hell could provide, but could not take away any soul's free will. At the top of the list the limits were basically, "Tell the DM what you want to happen and he will rewrite the game world." I recall a story where his players got their hands on such a wish and were seriously considering, "I wish all the bad people were good," and it would have worked. So definitely in the realm of plot device and a potential campaign ender if the wish is powerful enough, but that's part of the fun. [/QUOTE]
