wishing for stats
« on: July 30, 2012, 07:37:53 PM »
Two questions here.

1 A bigger bonus to a stat can be wished through consecutive castings of wish. How exactly does it work?

a ) one wish for +1 then another for +2, another for +3 etc.

b ) one wish for +1 then two for +2, three for +3 etc.

2 Is the +5 limit a limit per character or per stat?

1)a.
2)Per stat
So for example  Bob the wizard could use 5 consecutive wishes to increase his Intelligence by 5.....
Months later he uses another 5 consecutive wishes to increase his constitution by 5......
And so on....
Of course he somehow must find the required xp,or use a way that does not have the xp component.....

(a) is correct.

It's per stat.

But if he only gets his hands on 3 wishes and increases his Int by +3, he will have to get 4 wishes to increase it further on a different occassion?

Yes it has to be consecutive,so the prudent thing would be to makes scrolls and use in conjuction with his casting ability....
