_metz_ 12-11-07, 09:26 PM	Ok, I have access to have gate cast FOR my PC. From the LGCS: If calling a type of creature, the caster may choose any outsider from the MM. The called creature must be given an immediate task; it will not perform contractual service without campaign documentation. Ok - so I call a Solar, and I pay the 1,000xp. Now I wish for something. What can I wish for? Is it possible to get the stat boost as per the listed options of wish? What is the defenition of misfortunate? I checked the LGCs and it was unclear on the actual applications of Wish. I would like them clarified a bit. The impression i get is that Wish cannot be used for a stat boost in LG, but I wanted to make sure. Just some things to peruse, as the campaign is ending and I am looking to use up my more powerful favours...
copperwyrmling 12-11-07, 09:53 PM	What can I wish for? Is it possible to get the stat boost as per the listed options of wish? Well, you didn't ask in the LG Questions thread, so... You can't wish for stat-boosts in LG, because the LGCS lists the ways in which Wish may be used in the campaign, and that's not one of them (the allowed options are: duplicate spells, remove injuries and afflictions, revive the dead, transport travellers, and undo misfortune). If you read the Wish spell, there are a number of bullet point options: the LGCS ruling effectively eliminates "create a nonmagical item", "create a magic item", "grant a creature a +1 inherent bonus to an existing ability score", and the option to attempt to create a greater effect. The "undo misfortune" application is described in the Wish spell itself. It allows you to force a reroll of any roll made within the last round. Finally,how do the stat booster books work - if I hav eaccess say, to 2 +1 Int books, or 2 +1 Cha books, do they stack? As per the RAW it appears they do as they are both inherent bonuses - which stack to a maximum of +5 but I may be wrong. Where are you getting this? Repeated Wishes cast in quick succession can be used to get an inherent stat boost of higher than +1, but the spell is explicit that inherent stat boosts to the same stat do not stack ("inherent bonuses to a particular ability score do not stack, so only the best one applies").

I see, oh well. I just noticed the inherent thing, silly me. Oh well the gate spell doesn't look that useful then access wise. By the RAW it seems that I cannot even undo a reincarnate...

_metz_ 12-12-07, 07:04 AM	Dude, what are you doing asking about getting Wishes cast? You could beat the module to a bloody pulp with a Gate! -Matt I could, but thats no fun, I was trying to think of other ways to use it.
CdrcJsn 12-14-07, 12:45 AM	1) Wait for a big battle interactive 2) Cast Gate 3) ??? 4) Profit! (Personally, I think 3) should be to summon a Solar to serve you tea during the fight and hold your coat, defintely impressing the bad guys you're smushing.)

LGCS only covered Limited Wish sice thats a 7th lvl spell and 9th lvls are supposed to be "Unaccessable"
