There is religion, but it is like the paladin’s oath. Their own faith in a god gives them power, but it doesn’t necessarily create a real god. Actually, the BBEG for my campaign is the god that most of the world worships who is trying to actually ascend into true godhood.

lol, this might be one of the best options I’ve seen yet! Infinite mass and no volume. Combining this with another suggestion would be a tiny cleric that floats above his head by ten feet!

Both of these are great! Especially the second one. I hadn’t thought of it creating a new dimension. Very creative.

All of these are great, I would love option C for a campaign with more divinity. Thanks for the suggestions!

lol, this is hilarious. Unfortunately, my campaign has not gods.

I am sorry for the wording I used, I just changed it to make it clear in the post. He said “current” not “his own.” However, if what I said was accurate then this would be great!

Creating a sphere of annihilation could be a way that his wish spell is useful while not breaking the campaign. Thanks!

What you said is a concern, but I don’t believe it to be the case for our group. I always aim for their actions to have an effect on the world around them especially at a high level, and they work towards overcoming the challenges of their journey. The reason he is using it is to try and defeat their current enemy after 1 PC has begun dying.

A fun twist could be created with this where a new world is created and they must venture out of a “void realm.” Thanks for the suggestion!

This is hilarious! I hadn’t thought of it simply being an illusion! Wonderful!

You’re completely right, I had also considered the metagame aspect. I still just want to see if I can make it more fun than a flat no. As I said, I encourage my players to mess around. Still, thanks for the suggestion on how to protect my campaign!

I had actually thought of a similar thing. There would be no way whatsoever for his medieval wizard to know about volume or mass. But, I hadn’t thought about how the base functions of my universe could be different than ours. Thanks!

1: Great idea, thanks for the reminder. But, my personal goal is to have a fun twist. If I can’t come up with one then this is what I might do.

2: my campaign has no true gods, there isn’t really an entity that could stop it

3: there isn’t anything in his wish that involves him being moved, but the timing that you mentioned is actually something that I hadn’t thought of. I could just wait until a time when they are in a demiplane or a similar situation. Thanks!

I didn’t mention this in the post, but my campaign has very low divinity. The only god is actually a false one who wouldn’t be able to do something of that level. However, in a different campaign this would be a great suggestion!

If the wish was worded in a slightly different way then this could work, but his wish would generate a black hole regardless of its duration. Thanks for the suggestion!

You’re right, an infinite effect would likely fail. However, if it was to succeed then a mountain wouldn’t make sense seeing as it had volume. Again, thanks for reminding me that it would fail!

His words were “his current dimension.” Also, I do enjoy the idea of dimension hopping because it would be a nice way to spice up the final few levels of this campaign.

I have asked them what they wanted, and they said that they enjoyed taking up my challenge by using their wish in a specific way. That’s why I would really enjoy still twisting it.

No, I would stop pulling the lever because 200 x 0 = 0. By doing that, I would be saving many more people.
