Wish?

i got the wish spell and when i cast it, it let me renew all my spells but later i cast it again and it did not have that option.

is there any way to get the option every time?

EDIT: i mean the level 9 version of wish

if i recall correctly, the wish spell is tied directly into the intelligence and wisdom scores, which means that the higher the scores are, the better the wish options is. I always kept potions around to up my int and wis up to 25 and then cast the spell, at least whenever possible. casting a wish spell with a very low scored character often resulted in some pretty sucky wishes, if i remember right. so, in answer to your question, try upping the abilities (and I am thinking it was wisdom more than intelligence) and see if that works.

If I remember correctly, you only get to choose a "wish" once, but I may be wrong.

see in real AD&D wish may only be used once but it can be almost anything u want (such as +10 constitution)

my sorcerer has 18 int and wis

Wish

See Xyx's spell guide for details, but Wish is never guaranteed to have any of the options generally considered good.

Having (ab)used the wish spell considerably, I worked out that roughly the option to refresh all your spells comes up every 9 times or so when the caster has a wisdom of 18.

BTW only wisdom is involved in the choice of wishes you get, Int. is ininfluent.

Ininfluent...what a wonderful neologism, I love it

Nephtu, what's a neologism?

[QUOTE=kopywrite]Nephtu, what's a neologism?[/QUOTE]

A neologism is:
1) A new word, expression, or usage.
2) The creation or use of new words or senses.
(per dictionary.com)

However, I may be in error - a google search on the word turns up 108 English language sites, though none of the dictionary sites I use recognize it. It's a good word, however.
