Going crazy with Limited Wish

[Philip]

Hello all,

Do you have any good suggestions for using limited wish? I think limited wish is a spell any self-respecting wizard should have prepared. It can deliver the right spell exactly when you need it, and often at a better speed than the duplicated spell. For example:

Cleric-in-a-pinch
raise dead, death ward, neutralize poison, cure critical wounds, remove disease, freedom of movement, atonement, hallow, restoration.

More speed
atonement, break enchantment, hallow, guards and wards

Combat wizard
righteous might, holy sword, song of discord

Weird uses
awaken, commune, permanency, valiant steed (from Book of Exalted Deeds), forbidden speech (Book of Vile Darkness)

What other spells would be deliver weird but benificial results when duplicated with limited wish?

Check out some Druid and Bard spells... real wierd spells you can do too.

Limited Wish is good for Sorcerors too.

Quench is a great Druid spell to use on those [fire] creatures. There is no defense against it.

Druid spells: Barkskin, Call Lightning, Stone Shape, Water Breathing, Air Walk, Control Water, Flame Strike, Call Lighting Storm.
Bard spells: Enthrall, Glibness, Legend Lore, Modify Memory, Rainbow Pattern, Dream, Song of Discord.
Just picked some from the PHB... there should be loads more in other sources too. Limited wish it really nice if you just do some creative stuff with it too.

Limited Wish costs 300 xp to cast.


No thanks.

My conjureror was handicapped when he summoned creatures that he couldn't talk to. I had a friend cast Tounges on him, then used Limited Wish to duplicate Permanancy. Then we did the same thing with Comprehend Languages. Now my party never has a problem communicating or deciphering text.

Best 600xp I ever spent. Unless you count the various heals, restorations, and revivifications I've done too.

It should have been more than 600xp - limited wish costs 300xp or the xp cost of the spell it duplicates if higher... permanent tongues and permanent comprehend languages both have a higher xp cost to cast IIRC.

Remember that Limited Wish can emulate Heal, as Heal is a 5th level adept spell. It's slightly cheesy, but perfectly legit!

I wouldn't say that it's terribly cheesy It still "costs" one spell to learn and XP to cast. Miracle instead is definitely camembert!
