[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9192718, member: 7024481"] I always do it like this, nearest Power if not near then random source, wish will always take the use a spell route if possible. If the players ask for more than the wish should be able to do, the result could be anything from you get what you ask with unexpected consequences or it just simply doesn't work. If say they were in hell then the wish would be granted by a power from hell so automatically legalistic and they'll get exactly what they ask for not necessarily what they want. If it's in an unknown area i'll roll a d100. The closer to 100 the more favorable the power is to them and the less likely they'll get screwed. Roll a 1 and it might be a demon lord granting it. but so long as it stays within the safe limits no DM hijinks other than giving them what they ask for. so say you ask to ressurrect two party members with wish, well that's too much, the power granting the wish might simply do it if they are favorable to the party and it's within thier power, ignore the wish and nothing happens spell doesn't go off no resources used, or decide two 5th level reincarnations are the closest they can offer so boom. the spell description has always said in some way or form that asking for too much might be unreliable or only grant partialy what you asked for. the party members could simply be raised as intelligent free willed undead because you asked for two instead of one. Asking for anything beyond the base parameters of the wish spell (one 8th level spell, or one 7th level spell from a non arcane spell list) should be unpredictable. [/QUOTE]
