I've never had the chance to use a wish spell, but if i did I've always said my character would first hire a lawyer to write the wish out.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE THE POWER TO GRANT AND UNGRANT SUPER POWERS, WHILE REATAINING EVERY OTHER ABILITY, FEATURE, STAT, AND STATE OF HEALTH I NOW POSSESS, OH AND GENIE AFTER THIS I'LL GRANT YOU THE POWER TO FREE YOUR SELF. :biggrin:

Genie: Your wish is granted, you are now a Dungeon Master...
*bows*
Genie: I wish I am free.
Genie 2: Ok, I'll buy you for free... you now belong to me....
Genie: Darn.....

Okay, lets say you were human, at life expectancy 86. I think that is the average. In that case, you live to be 86!!! You can only be slain in honorable combat, but you said nothing about dieing of natural causes. At midnight on your 86th birthday, you die.

Again, the "was" point - giving the possibility that the DM changes it afterward - "becomes and is forever afterward" is a better phrase. The "thusly" leaves a barn door open for things to go awry as well.

And lastly, a 2,000HD Titan (a very "honorable" creature) walks up and challenges you to combat, killing you in the first half of the first round. (You forgot to mention "fair" or a whole slew of descriptors).

Situation 1: In order for the wish to take affect you must make a save vs. death - and fail (you only stated future saves before the wish takes effect).

Sit. 2: The wish is granted, and as such time instantly ceases to move for "you or any other living and unliving being" since "any other effects" will not happen to you (didn't mention what kinds of effects or how long - a very general word "effects"). Coincidentally the only way back into the time stream is by teleportation.

I wish my character was immune to all harmful effects.

I wish that my character has an easy way to make wishes without having to worry about ill effects.

I wish to die, forever.
1) you gain 35 HP and never gain another level, bonus, or stat and time ceases to exist for you - again the "any other affects" deal.

2) Since healing spells can be considered "harmful effects" to undead you are never healed again and inevitably die. (didn't mention whom the effect were harmful to)

3) You are taken to the the realm of a demonic lord that will grant you wishes whenever you please - within the scope of his realm (a glass bubble), where you will never have to worry about ill effects, can never leave, and exist for eternity doing nothing.

4) The torturous scene comes to mind.

EDIT: Now my "incorruptable" wish:

I wish to gain enough experience points to reach level 30 with all decisions on how, where, when, and why this experience is gained and all decisions on how, where, when, and why it effects me and/or the universe be under my jurisdiction and descretion.

That's pretty good. Made me laugh. Anyway, you are transformed into a small ant who is bound to serve the queen and live one second longer than the normal life expectancy for an ant but die in a honorable battle against the invading termites.

EDIT: Darn, didn't notice that there was a third page. Oh well, I'll leave this anyway.

Ok. You gain experience points. As a bonus gift from the genie, you gain new feat: Death. (see previous pages)

and thus DannyLewis was found dead three days later, with the words "And you never will" carved into his back with a knife.

This doesn't make sense, as I didn't wish to want to die forever, I wished to actually die forever. Dying is something that cannot take more than a split second, so therefore it is impossible to be forever dying...

Anyway, I don't think the eternal torture scene works for this.
How about:
1. I wish to immediately cease to exist, and never resume existance.
2. I wish something bad happens to me now.
3. I wish my character could undo any action of the DM.
4. I wish that no event would ever occur that would give me cause to feel unhappy.
5. I wish you to currupt this wish.

Now see, these are wishes I will gladly grant.

1. You become the DM.
2. You're dead. Dead people have no feelings.
3. You die. That was too easy.

You mispelled "existence". You stop existing for a split second and reappear, never to resume existance.

2. I wish something bad happens to me now.
Depends on your definition of good and bad. The genie could think something is bad...while you think it's something is good.

3. I wish my character could undo any action of the DM.
DM: The level 27 Demilich appears behind you and casts "Greater Ruin" a split second before you finish casting your wish. (Bottom line, never mess with the DM)

4. I wish that no event would ever occur that would give me cause to feel unhappy.
"Unhappy?" Sure! Instead, we could have an event that goes way beyond unhappy. Agonizing, painful, horrific, etc.

5. I wish you to currupt this wish.
Already mentioned in above. However, my take on it is..."I can't 'currupt' anything anyways, so nothing happens"

Sadistic DMs pay as much attention to spelling as they do grammer when you try to make a wish.

Hmm how about this one...

I wish that all the evil in the world is vanquished; errivocably in this universe and any others for all time, and that i am to remain unscathed from any and all possible side effects from this wish and and side effects from those side effects, as well as any other misfortune that could occur.

All evil is vanquished, but without evil, the world's resourses dries up. People suffer from lack of food...and enjoy it

still no-one trying to turn my "I Wish To Be Normal" wish. Come on lads, it's not that hard!?

Alright, all your ability scores are reduced to 10, except for 1 score that is a 12 (your choice), your level is reduced to 1 of whatever class you were in, and your life expectancy is exactly average for whatever race you were. Your gear becomes mundane and common (if it wasn't before) you live in a small hut with a wife (of average everything), 2 kids (normal but nothing special), and a white picket fence in a little hamlet, you get a job that pays average so that you and your family have enough to live off of.
