[net.games.frp] No wishes on the plane of ORCUS according to the contest originator

bstempleton@watmath.UUCP (Brad Templeton) (10/04/83)

When I entered this contest, I talked to the guy who made it up and ran
it at GenCon.  Whatever you may think about wishes and their power,
the rules for this contest are that Orcus grants the wishes.
(Note the MM doesn't say Orcus grants wishes, but he is the ruler of
a plane, and this is what the DM said)

Anyway, it makes sense to me that you couldn't use a wish against
a diety.  They are the source of magic and won't interfere in such
matters.

As for what you can use a wish for, I think just about anything temporary
is good, for example "I wish this weapon hit the next opponent I strike"
or "I wish I could mix all these potions safely and drink them".
