[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 269234, member: 1451"] I have yet to see anyone reply to myself and several other posters who have asked how in the world one could word a wish without metagaming in order to gain a bab +1. Consider that a challenge.:D Wishing for 1 more attack would not do it, as that would be metagaming...so you just happened to wish this when your bab was only 1 away from another attack? How in the world would your pc know this? Yeah right. More likely, you would receive a monk's belt or boots of speed...or a mean dm might haste you for a limited time period and then take it away for good. Now, if you actually wished for a +1 bab, then you just wasted 5k exp, as your god has no idea what you just wished for. Either that, or he might give you a +1 wisdom or intelligence so that you make more sense next time...if you are lucky. Sorry, but I don't see anyway to do this in-game without metagaming. Therefore, you cannot wish for a +1 bab. As kreynolds said (paraphrased due to laziness), convince us that you can do this w/o metagaming, and then we will talk about this possibility more. However, if you have a dm and a group who just plays for fun and doesn't make roleplaying a high priority (which is fine, if that's what you like...I'm not telling anyone how to play the GAME), then sure, you could wish for a +1 bab. As I said before, in this situation, just let the player rewrite his pc based upon the new rules. I don't what the big problem is. But when all the books are out, no more changing stuff around. As long as the changes are approved by the DM, it's all good right? [/QUOTE]
