We had many other PCs in game years long enough, the where the downtime between scenarios and the like accounted for many years but being elves, dwarves or in one case a gnome, meant that they didn't get to their aging thresholds.So, what does a human character (or a half orc or another short lived race) really get from the use of the wish in this way?  They get the throwaway aging effect of a elf, dwarf or gnome in almost every case.As an aside: How does getting a ninth level spell cast for you, or casting it yourself, meaning you are powerful enough to do so, count as " ... becoming ageless is easily done"?Isshia</blockquote>
