That's one of the explicit safe wishes. It is ironic, but no more than that Minotaurs automatically escape Maze even though the Minotaur was trapped in a giant labyrinth and never escaped, or that Medusas can be defeated by showing them their own reflection even though Perseus killed Medusa while looking at her reflection through a mirrored shield. D&D is not always accurate to the source material.

Only duplicating the effects of another spell is perfectly safe. If you wish for money, the DM can't twist your wish too badly since it's one of the examples, but you still suffer the wish stress and risk not being able to cast the spell again. You could protect yourself against wish stress with Simulacrum though.

I actually did something similar in a game. Not a wish, though, just a rich villain with his henchman. "Your money is in that bag of holding in that small alcove with the totally not suspect trapdoor above it" *Guy enters alcove, wall of force conjures behind him, bag is empty, single copper piece drops from the cieling* "Oh, f-" *crushed to death by 10,000,000 copper pieces*

@@aspthewyvern3622 It only suggests twisting the players' words or even not fully fulfilling the wish if they wish for something that's not one of the examples or duplicating a spell. It doesn't say the GM can't be a literal genie, but they can do that whenever they want. But you're right about the wish stress.

Wish for every time the bard in the party is reect every other party member gets 1 gold, either the bard can do anything or you always get 1 gold.

"this horse is beautiful! i bet he'll be delicious." ~butcher, dressed like a horse breeder, voiced by a malicious DM

That sounds like a Moist Von Lipwig con. :D

Just make sure it's a male horse or you could wind up with Sleipnir by mistake

@@BROODxBELEG that's the point where the horse turns into a bear and mauls the butcher on the spot, and then the party face acts all surprised and says "huh, I guess it was a fey horse" and everyone moves on with their day

So far this is the only good idea I've seen in the comments for a good get rich quick scheme. Most of the other ones fail to read the actual spells, like Simulacrum. Or they require being WAY too high a level, like Wish. Once you get to THAT level of magic, just apply to be a King's court wizard. You're set for life.

sure it's a bit slower, but it's honest work and you aren't being a con artist. The berries dont disappear after 24 hours, just the magic element to them.

We got a grey bag of tricks as a reward in RoTFM. Guess we don't have to worry about hunting meat

@Shaun O'Brien Yes, they aren't magical after 24 hours. Them being magic is not what the point is, the setting has like no berries for MILES so demand for berries would be through the roof. And guess who's the only druid around (Unless DM makes a berry seller rival who has berries O.O) , that's right Emma my druid.

@Shaun O'Brien k, but by raw the spell is talking about the potency of magic.

Combine this with disguise self you could bankrupt entire towns with ease

Tricksters Gambit Variant: Plant all the stolen goods onto one noble you hate, claim you and your well-trained and experienced "white hat" and "reformed" thieves spotted it being enacted during the party. Get that noble ousted, negotiate a fair reward for the service (haggle it up or down as desired for influence or money as desired), and walk away with a positive, glowing rep.

Won't you run out of towns to bankrupt eventually? And won't people realise you're the only one's with money and send mass amounts of bounty hunters and champions after you?

That sounds like a terrible idea with the number of ways to get detect magic at will in this game, along with the very, very long list of ways to screw up, a group like this would be the normal targets for a first tier adventuring party to go deal with. Nobles also don't walk around with gold in their pockets, it's heavy and not worth the efforts. Nobles have their wealth in banks and primarily use influence to pay for things. Secrets are the currency of the wealthy.

"Famous Local Wizard" didn't think to cast Detect Magic so they would know, at least, the schools of magic every magic item were imbued with? (facepalm)

@@ForeverDegenerate It wouldn't have helped, since either divination or illusion spells can work for shop security, so searching for one school wouldn't be enough, and there were items to help camps and caravans with security, which made the search even harder. They needed to know which ones were currently active, and that was the hard part.

they could steal their cameras too

@@bubbasbigblast8563 Detect Magic doesn't specifically search for a school. It detects the school(s) of magic from anything magical in the radius. At the very least, they would know if there was anything magical that would even remotely be a threat to their heist.

@@ForeverDegenerate With a high roll, they would have picked up the direction of a threat, but there were simply too many magical objects with similar functions to be able to tell what's active easily.

Eh, in D&D you can already bring coin and treasure from other dimensions.

Fun fact you can do this at level one just replace Bestow cursed with hex.

The economy in most D&D setting is already a joke that makes no sence

The people you scammed are rich. Bribing a noble is insufficient to cover up the affair. The wealthy or kingdom uses it's resources to hunt you down. You're not unique. The expertise exists to trace and pursue you. Your corpse ends up on display on the castle's wall.

@@seigeengine The people i scammed *were* rich. Or in the very least, they aren't in the shape to hunt me down. Bribing a nobleman straight out would be difficult, but it might surprise you how easy it can be when a nobleman finds themselves in a rough position. Even then, a good rouge should never rely on one level of protection - I mentioned using disguises and loitering the money as well. My expertise and reputation is that of an assassin. People not finding me and escaping from situations from where they do is my primary skill set. The reverse of something to trace down and pursue someone. And then, who would even want to? Hiring their own rouge might work, but thieves guilds exist to prevent infighting. You also said I'm not unique, but that's actually a good thing. Not standing out in a crowd only makes it easier to hide. Then you just said I die. Now, give me some credit, it wouldn't be that easy. And in context of dnd, killing off players for something like that would just be rude.

@@Somber_Knight They'd have to be rich to be able to afford real estate worth scamming over at higher levels. Unless you are in a world where your character is a complete freak, there are going to be people specialized in tracking down people like you, and the wealthy are going to have the means of hiring them. If you create a few victims, or target the wrong person, that could be enough sway that even a noble wouldn't be able to suppress it. Remember, nobles and even royals are just men. They're not special. Their power and position is contingent upon others. Plus, if they cooperated, they'd be able to get rid of you, and whatever you could threaten them with. At that point, it may even ascend above the nobility. Sorry. The way I play D&D, you'll typically get a warning if you're straying to your death, but if you ignore it, it's out of my hands. I believe in the right to commit suicide, after all. It'd be rude not to give a player what they're begging for.

@@seigeengine What exactly is your motive here? I know I'm just trying to help anyone curious by providing a framework to steal from the wealthy, but rather than improving upon the idea, you seem to be shooting it down. I will, however, thank you for your points. They are valid considerations when preparing for any heist campaign, though I'm not in one currently - my reasoning for not developing further. Every game, our experiences, and our play styles are different, which is why tailoring a basic idea to someone's table would be more effective than me answering questions here. It feels like some anger perhaps is leaking through your message, and I will apologize if I am the cause for or misinterpreting it. Regardless, I will extend my hand in friendship. If you want to run a game to properly see the answers to this plan through, I would be happy to join you.

@@Somber_Knight I don't find doing other people's thinking for them is beneficial, so I'm leaving figuring out how to adapt to the flaws in your idea to you. Personally, I feel DMs in general lean too far to appeasing players by constructing dumb worlds that let them get away with ridiculous nonsense without facing the sensible consequences for those actions. If you want to run a real estate scam, cool, but you're going to have to deal with it if you aim too big, and draw the ire of powerful people. You might have special abilities that help, but if you live in a world where those abilities exist, you're probably not the first instance of someone with them trying what you're doing, nor the second, third, fourth, etc. If you can do something, so can others, and that means people will have adjusted to that possibility and have countermeasures. You may be able to play those with few resources or who only operate locally, but the higher up the chain you go, the more knowledge, resources, and experience they're going to be able to draw from. Sensible consequences are not punishments. Players should be expected to think through their actions before frivolously taking them, instead of relying on DMs bailing them out. It's not like I'm above extra approaches to making a quick buck in game. I once ripped a marble floor out of a dungeon and carted it back in order to make some extra coin, after all.

I'm imagining some asshole wizard just mildly enchanting large amounts of currency and then circulating it just to screw with people.

Actually, the money-mancy ability of Wish is one of the freebies that comes with the spell, so it doesn't come with the potential downside of not being able to cast Wish.

Ya you can do 2 things with wish without sadnis and or pane any spell 8th level or lower and make an itme with a spesific within a spesific set size and value

@@normal6483 "The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you..." The money-mancy ability is something that definitely works, but only duplicating spell effects avoids risking never being able to cast it again.

@@normal6483 Actually, the only effect Wish can cause which doesn't incur the stress is spell effect duplication. As such, the effect of wishing for an item will cause the stress and potentially remove the ability to cast Wish. The only way to bypass the stress in this case is to use Simulacrum.

@@normal6483 ..."The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you". Sorry, but money-making is a risky thing to do with Wish, at least by RAW and RAI (probably for a good reason, too).

Pretty much any setting with magic would have tons of locals doing mending work. Wall of stone wouldn't be worth it. Transmute rock appears more likely, though I'm not convinced having to capture and transport large volumes of mud, build frames to contain it, fill them, and so on would actually be all that profitable over typical stone wall construction that a powerful mage would want to be in that business, especially since they'd probably need specialized labourers for it.

Your funny Wizard become proficient with all the tools like Smith's, Carpenter's, Jeweler's, ect. Then learn fabricate put all the tradesmen in a city out of business because you can fabricate with the effectiveness of the skills known. Worried about spell slots. Invest in Simulacrum services and then have the Simulacrum scribe scrolls of fabricate for you. I'm sure there are some other ways to cheese the system for example find villagers that have keen mind and pay them what 2GP per scroll to copy the example scroll of fabricate. As a bonus allow them one free fabrication a month or something. This could be some real cheese.

I guess he became a fan of dream recently and wanted to draw him

@@DerpyCookieMc maybe he was a fan, but I don’t think so anymore. He’s portraying Dream as a conman who would betray people’s trust just to get money. The last little bit makes that pretty explicit

@@CaptSocrates eh, or he just wanted to draw the manhunt people in his vid

@@axowelp nah, that ending is too relevant to the Dream drama to not be a call out. It ties it all together too, as Dreams only motivation is to con people and acquire dosh no matter who he hurts in the process.

@@CaptSocrates eh, I disagree with you, dream wanted to blow up, but he didn’t want to scam anyone I don’t think. Plus it wasn’t just dream that he drew, it was other mcyts too, so I think he just wanted to put some flavor onto the blank characters on the screen-

throw in some homebrew classes and options like Martial Gear & Combat Overhaul by The Dungeon Coach and the Craftsman Class by Mage Hand Press and suddenly the materials for making the suits of armour increase but also modifications and flourishes to increase the value with little investment and some time

it also doesn't require the object to be non-precious metal, you just have to have a sample of the metal, so you could make a non-illusion based block of platinum the same size with fabricate. It would quite literally be real and not illegal.

@@bluebattlegaming2535 Fabricate does not create material, it only reshapes it. It requires that you provide all the raw materials need to create the item. "Fabricate 4 transmutation Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: 120 feet Components: V S Duration: Instantaneous Classes: Wizard You convert raw materials into products of the same material. For example, you can fabricate a wooden bridge from a clump of trees, a rope from a patch of hemp, and clothes from flax or wool. Choose raw materials that you can see within range. You can fabricate a Large or smaller object (contained within a 10-foot cube, or eight connected 5-foot cubes), given a sufficient quantity of raw material. If you are working with metal, stone, or another mineral substance, however, the fabricated object can be no larger than Medium (contained within a single 5-foot cube). The quality of objects made by the spell is commensurate with the quality of the raw materials. Creatures or magic items can’t be created or transmuted by this spell. You also can’t use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan’s tools used to craft such objects."

Only problem here is that you need materials, and if the dm is a stickler, those materials will cost half as much as the product. Which is exactly as much as you can sell it for. The trick is convincing your dm that you can just find the materials, like, around, on your adventures. Maybe there’s a vein of metal in this dungeon.

@@marenrobison6202 with normal metals its rather easy, you just melt down old armour and weapons from enemies with Martial Gear & Combat Overhaul by The Dungeon Coach it has materials like Lead, Silver, Chitin, various kinds of special wood, special bones like Horns, Shells & Ivory, Coral and Dragon parts like Hide, Scale and Bone these kinds of things can be acquired through an adventure depending where you go and what you fight and i just listed the ones that are more easily obvious to get, there are a few more options

ohhh yeah simulacrum is great im pretty sure that's the trick for infinite power as well just use wish and simulacrum to make 2 half health duplicates to make an army after a week of accumlation also pro tip you can use fabrication to turn the 25,000 gp in value brick of of gold into 25k gold coins or the 25k Ruby slab into 16 piles of powdered Ruby (you need 1500g worth of it to cast simulacrum) you also need snow but if you can't get snow I don't know what your doing

@@kellynolen498 Or even easier, skip the wish entirely. Get yourself the simulacrum, true polymorph, and create magen spells. Go into town and buy some cattle. True polymorph them into cow-sized blocks of platinum. Sell platinum for all the spell components you'll ever need (not a trick, because true polymorph becomes permanent if you maintain concentration). Now make a simulacrum and begin your magen-creating army as the penalty to reduced max hp is now being applied to the simulacrum. Once it gets too low on HP, kill it and make a new one. Infinite magen army, infinite money.

@@Schmeethe88 i mean the only problem i can see is how vague it is on what happens if the polymorphed animal now object is changes forms like they try to make it into smaller coins or a legendary sword it doesnt have hp to revert and it cant kill the victim of the polymorph because the creature to creature doesnt if its killed in the other form the spells not ment to kill so its really skechy is the point most people with the money and power to buy a cow of platinum probobly plan on using it for something ok i got it make it into a exquisite sculpture maybe of the king/emperor himself no one would dare destroy it until after hes dead
