#1 intently Nov 10, 2014 8:36:57	In the PHB description of the wish spell, this is one of the options:   "You grant up to ten creatures that you can see resistance to a damage type you choose."   Do you think this resistance is intended to be permanent? Or "long enough to be useful, depending on the adventure"? Or just up to the DM?
#2 Grazel Nov 10, 2014 8:40:24	I'd assume permanent unless requested otherwise. It's possible the DM might make it shorter but as it doesn't specify and this is a Wish spell it'd likely be permanent, especially as it's just resistance, not immunity.
#3 mellored Nov 10, 2014 8:42:34	Note that you have a 33% chance of never casting wish again.   So yea, i would say it's fine to be permanate.

This is assuming you cain gain multiple resistances since the rules don't address stacking of different effects from the same spell. The "most potent" effect would be whichever resistance would be applicable against a given damage instance...

If you choose something off that list you'll get it, choose anything else other than duplicating another spell and you might get more than you bargained for (and often less than you wanted).
