That opening flex about the mechanics of capturing a genie has stuck with me forever. You rarely delve into the nitty gritty of mechanical play, focusing more about concepts and role playing. But that bit also shows “oh yeah, we know this game up and down, can play at a level beyond most mortals”, we just find it more fun to explore the conceptual space of D&D

I've always seen genies as quite similar to devils. If you make a pact with a devil, it's going to find any loopholes in what you agreed upon to gain the most for itself and stuff you over, just like a genie is going to pervert your wish so that you're not getting exactly what you wanted.

@phyerstar 7 жыл бұрын

as far as binding a genie to an object to get wishes, in 3rd edition, in the exemplars of evil book, it states how one of monsters had a ring that a noble djinn was bound to and it could make it follow its instructions up to an hour a day, and it would grant 3 wishes. after the 3rd wish was granted, the genie was released, and returned to its home plane. A dm could use that as a way to bring genies into their game. hope this helps.

I really enjoyed that analysis on how to summon and bind a genie.

@krispalermo8133 4 жыл бұрын

Been playing D&D over 20 years, started with AD&D2e then moved into 3.5e. To summon a Fire Genie , AD&D " Ensnarement " was a 7th-level spell, then they made it " Planar Binding." If you don't have the Outsider's True Name, then you end up with a random outsider of the type the spell caster was going for. i.) When summoning an outsider, list the personality traits you want to deal with, and have a bribe ready. ii.) Fire genies could Planeshift at will, so if you piss them off, they will come back at you with renforcements. Best thing to do is have a good protection spells for yourself and Do Not try to trap or trick a fire genie into your biding . Summon the being, bribe them to over look the lost of time you just cause them, and offer them a deal. iii.) Fire genie gain status by the deals they make with mortals. So ask and offer to improve their status in their House and their clan.

Thinking that with the object bound genie, the binding of the genie has the condition that after granting so many wishes that the binding is undone. Of course then the genie would not want anyone to know anything about that and would want to grant people wishes.

Hey Guys first of all I find your channel very helpful and it gives some really good insights. I recently played the boardgame Splendor and it gave me an idea of how to incorporate the Genie wish into my campaign. I wanted to share it with you because I think it might inspire you. Setup: After various elementals attacked and ravaged the city in which the players reside, they find a Genie lamp among the treasure. They also find a sort of invitation to the court of the noble genie Iodonis. They figure out that the attack was an attempt to gather gemstones and other wealth in order to gain access to the court of Iodonis. When they rub the lamp they are surprised to see that it doesn't summon a genie per say, but instead open a portal to the a part of the Iodonis realm. Here they are met by his steward, a regular genie, who tells them that they aren't prestigious enough to get an audience (and by audience I mean Wish) from his master Iodonis. They must have proper titles in order to see him. Perhaps, mayor or lord should be good enough. So, I set up the game like Splendor. The PC's have to accumulate prestige by rebuilding the destroyed town. So, instead of building numerous mines and jewelry shops, the game will revolve around city building. New gates, walls, garrison, temples, taverns, etc. Each round is X amount of months in real game. The player who wins, becomes the new mayor/lord/king of the city. With this new title, Iodonis will see that player at his court, and grant him a Wish. Not sure how I will handle what a Wish entails yet. But I will figure that out in due time.

I once gave my players a model ship in a bottle that had a genie in it. He had slaves in it with him. The bottle was actually more like a scrying tool. In the actual elemental plane he was sailing around the world so the players could see the ocean too. This was in a planar war campaign and they had to choose a side eventually, but the bottle was made by the wish of a warlock who didnt want the genie held captive(afraid of its anger) but wanted to be able to call on it as an ally. Sometimes the ship was full and livley, sometimes not. Whenever they opened the bottle, theyd be able to have 1 party member say a password to be transported to the ship, then another could say a password to return them. Made for some hilarious situations involving investigating town guards.

I would give one caviot about wishes. You could wish for the ability to do something outside of your character's class. Like say the ability to cast wish as a warlock (imagine how ruffled your patron might be :-) ), or forever controlled flight in your humanoid form. As something potentially outside an 8th or lower spell effect, it would be genie wish worthy as I would think the strength reduction effect wouldn't affect genies.

The problem I have with wishes in gaming is that as soon as a wish is available, the DM starts metagaming to remove that wish(s) from the group. Suddenly the traps are inescapable, unless you wish out; the "random" encounters get hard set to deadly, unless you wish it not so; every protagonist, or encounter gets ramped up to make you use your wishes on normal gaming activities, so you can't wish for some outrageous treasure.

@permeus2nd 7 жыл бұрын

so the thing that instantly popped into my head about how to limit the number of wishes is have the lamp do a dragon ball, you get a wish or two or three and poof off it goes to some random place for someone else to find.

@jimdavis141 7 жыл бұрын

Manipulating players is a tough one, especially if you have players that don't get into character or whose characters don't have well developed motivations, goals, etc. you've got a few options: dangle mechanical benefits in exchange for the desired behavior, approach the players out-of-game and discuss it with them, or encourage immersive RP by setting an example for the game.

@Alex-dr1ez 7 жыл бұрын

My players don't really get heavily immersed but they still go to acheive character goals. IE they recently fought a Tarrasque that I turned into Godzilla for the Shin Godzilla release last week, and one of my players spent the first 3 turns hunting down the warlocks enthralled NPC to kill him for insulting his character. Said player also signed a deal with a Pit Fiend for weapons but was essentially turned into an assassin for the devil. I guess if you were doing a one shot, where your players came together to do a dungeon crawl against a green dragon, how would you manipulate them? The down and dirty is since they completely failed to defend the city of tokio (jokes galore) and allowed the Tarrasque to destroy it, they are now the laughing stock of epic heroes. I have the encounter planned pretty well but I really want this green dragon to mess with them throughout the one shot and really get under their skin.

@mepro7576 6 жыл бұрын

I like to have Genies different in my current world. A genie was a powerful sorcerer who managed to trap his soul to something to live forever. In order to open that something (e.g.locket/chest/casket) you need its name and the knowledge for the ritual. Then it operates as a wraith wizard who only wants to survive. He will try to kill the survivors but if he sees he's going to die he'll devote himself and grant only those wishes that he can cast until he can kill them. You also have to carry the item he is trapped in if you want something so if it's a pillar or a throne then good luck with that.

My Genies tend to be less out right hostile and more subtle manipulators. Case in point, a genie I made convinced the party to not only eliminate a rival but to also use their wishes to benefit the Genie. By the time they figured it out, the Genie's plan was completed and he'd siezed control of his elemental plane. He did however bestow upon them a parting "gift" that wasn't immediately apparent, an immunity to fire and heat. A nice buff that promptly backfired when a party member was frozen and couldn't be defrosted because he was immune to fire and heat. Moral of the story - Don't trust even the nicest Genie.

What would stop you from wishing for something like" I wish all my rolls would be 20"

@rosqwadron 5 жыл бұрын

Metaknowledge? That doesn't make any sense as a wish. Players roll dice, characters make wishes. Soooo every time your character is playing DnD, they crit every attack roll. Wish has no effect unless the character is rolling a D20.

"concentration are for players only" welp if I had thought of that, the marid I threw on my party would'nt have lost control of the typhoon he created to engulf everyone just because he took poison damage tick form a cut he suffered earlier in the fight

It's an extension of the Monsters and PCs are bound by separate rules theory of DMing. 3e/pathfinder and 4e are two ends of the spectrum, with 5e somewhere in the middle. If (big if) you decide to have monsters ignore concentration or be able to concentrate on more than one spell, then I'd definitely let the players know ahead of time.

Couldn't "Planar Ally" also summon a Genie? I know it's not likely to be able to do so unless the Cleric serves a god in the domain of Luck, but it's still a possibility.

After the party goes all the trouble of summoning a Genie, the drunktard of the party steps forward. "I wish.. to share this ale with you." *hands over an ale to the genie* "With this, I wish we can be great friends!" *grabs the shoulder of the genie firmly while chugging down ale* "And I also wish.. that you have a pleasant journey home." *passes out* 10/10, teamplayer.

I'm afraid my knowledge of Mystara is limited to the Karameikos gazetteer. However, I've been fascinated by the Known World as a setting for awhile now and could use any excuse to learn more about it.

I want to get a Noble Genie, combine their Wish/s with a casting of the spell Wish, and acquire a wish-granting item, and cast all of those Wishes, all with the same intent of becoming a God. If half a dozen wishes can't turn someone into a God, I don't know what will.

@yaldabaoth2 4 жыл бұрын

In your own gameworld, it's your call. In Forgotten Realms, it won't work. Becoming a god was a 12th level spell (Karsus's Avatar) and even that was only temporary. And after a "minor" incident that happened after the first (and last) casting of this spell, magic was from that point in time onwards limited to 9th level and who becomes what god is governed by the overgod Ao.

If someone used Ifreeti to get a wish to “make me a million dollars” you could turn him into 1,000,000 gold pieces, it’d be interesting because 1. Player Mil would have to roll up a new character 2. Players other than Mil would have to either spend it, keep it, or leave it. Its practically his dead body! 3. Whatever else may come with this.

KingDM6 _ currently our gaming group is set on Dark Sun; one of the peculiarities of Athas is very little metals, wherein the value of moneys are multiplied by 100 (the standard piece is the ceramic 'bit' that's valued equivalent to a mere copper, so every non metallic item is bought with bits, a silver is 10 bits, a gold piece is 100 bits, the absolutely rare platinum piece is 1000 bits for each coin.) So given a tiny bag of gold, characters receive a fortune. Thing is we have to constantly bury our gold and keep the amount hidden or else we attract theives.
