New NPC idea, a dragon in human form. He lives in a magical playhouse full of creatures and guests, and casts a wish every single day just doing things for fun. A nearby king must personally bring cartoons to placate the dragon.

If you cast Wish to do stressful things there is a 1/3 chance you can't ever cast it again.

For normal humanoid spellcasters who have to prepare and channel the spell energy that is foreign to them through their bodies, being such a strong spell it always carries the risk of backfiring going beyond the predetermined rules of its preparation.

nothing to say that is the case for dragons who can cast the spells innately.

Good thing you can cast Simulacrum first, then use the simulacra to cast wish

However, the spell replication is already extremely powerful.

So... Pee-wee Herman was a dragon?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

What I'm saying is, if you were a dragon, why wouldn't you choose to be Pee-Wee?

Not once per day. Wish per charisma score modifier.

...that dragon in human form is casting it 5x a day.

"Each spell can be cast once per day"

It’s D&D/any TTRPG, people misreading the rules and being scared of what isn’t evrn written is half the game! Bonus points if it’s a DM scared of players finding powerful things to do!

Bonus points if you use necromancy to reanimate a drow's head merely as a whimsical red herring to keep guests from realising their peril. Long live Jambi!

Feruza Balk's Dorothy was the sort of kid I wished I knew, growing up. It blindsided me completely when, later on, I learned she was the witch I wanted to spoon out my heart for. 🤪
