"Your problem now."

Holy crap that was epic.

[derpaderpy]

If I were on the other group of the tarrasque wish when the DM said "Your problem now, " I wouldn't have even been mad. I'd have been laughing my ass off.

[Starfloofle]

Oh my god that 'second chance' one almost brought me to tears. That is such a beautiful way to close out a campaign, god damn.

[challenger]

imagine hearing yelling from a table next to you and suddenly your fighting a terrask that appeared. W on the DMs and players

[pcalix]

One of the most difficult encounters is fighting or outsmarting a Sphinx, an ancient creature with high levels of magic and intellect. An old group of two warriors, a rogue, and a paladin, were subjected to a mental trial by combat courtesy of a Sphinx, testing their honour and prowess against foes they had both advantages and disadvantages against. Only the two warriors left the conflict of their minds, the other two adventurers trapped until they could get out.

The Sphinx told the two awake adventurers that only one could claim the prize and without warning, one of the warriors stabbed the other in the back before they could act. In a twist of fate, the betrayer was turned to dust by the Sphinx's magic. The warrior who had been betrayed had their wounds healed, being told that he alone was worthy and that he could make a single wish. Without hesitation, he says to the Sphinx, "I wish that you had my single wish."

The Sphinx was stunned and told the warrior that no soul had ever done such a thing in their lifetime. With only one witness, the Sphinx wished that his duty was discharged so he could be free to roam the world. The wish did as intended but as the Sphinx left the parameter of the ruins, the awake warrior was bound to the ruins and transformed into a new Sphinx, forced into the duty of guarding the ruins and the great magic it held. The two remaining adventurers finally wake up now that the source of their trial is gone, only to find another Sphinx they haven't seen yet telling them about a new trial about to begin. We were all laughing at this point at the absurdity.

I had a "hidden ring of wishing" AND the "granny wish" happen to me. The party was set to escort some higher-level NPCs to a neighboring kingdom. Long story short, there had been a revolution and coup by someone who should probably be the party's ally. On the way out of town, my wizard is handed a ring by the keeper of items that had lost its label and wasn't on the records. In payment for the number of healing potions I'ld been making off with, I was charged with identifying the ring and keeping it safe. I kinda forgot about it until we were on the road and outside of our scry-proof hometown. When I identified it, it had one wish. On reading the note with this info, I blinked, nodded and kept my mouth shut.

You see, our opponent was smart, and I knew he was smart. I assumed that he had already found the party and was checking in on us regularly as we headed north to the castle. I told _nobody_, in or out of character. I just wore the ring and watched my words very carefully. And, in fact, I was right. He hadn't found us when I identified the ring, but very shortly afterwards, and had an escort waiting for us and a meal ready.

He saw the other PC's as allies, since they were all from the "real world" and had been trapped here same as he. So, parley was something both sides were willing to try out first. A discussion on modernizing the kingdoms and figuring out what they could get to work ensued and went back and forth. It was, unfortunately, not going anywhere great. He wanted the party to join his efforts already in progress, and the party wanted him to give up the kingdom. There were other, possibly world-ending, things going on that we really needed to be addressing, and I became sure that this conversation would end in a fight. With the higher-level NPC's, it was one we would win, but it would be hard and we would not win cleanly.

Then I had an idea. An Awful idea. A wonderful, awful idea. I interrupted the current bit and said, "I want to believe you [name], but I don't think I can trust you to see my people as real. I wish you had a conscience." I then said "I take the ring off, and set it on the table while it disintegrates." The DM looked at me, "Ring?" "Of Wishing."

Yep, stolen right from the Neverending Story II, and just as effective. There was a five-minute break while the DM rewrote the campaign and I explained why I was carrying around heavy duty magical power without telling anyone. The opposing mage-king _locked up_ entirely, and the more blatantly evil of the two high-level NPC's, the tiefling of Orcus, shook my character's hand and congratulated him on locking an opponent into a hell of his own making, saying that he really liked my style.

It was one of my favorite sessions.

[christheguy]

Could you imagine being the table that got the obelisk 😂

[iyusuarkhan]

No way I got goosebumps by the second chance story. That's such a cinematic scene. Can only imagine how good that must have felt playing.

[thisisnowtaken]

From Pathfinder: One day when I couldn't make it to the game, the rest of the party apparently found a trapped djinn and got one wish each (WITHOUT ME?!?!?). One of them wished for all the party's gear to be +1 enhancement bonus better. The GM said that it was ALL our gear, and, as we were pirates, that was everything we had, including our ship and all its contents. We were selling +1 cutlery to fund parties for months. We eventually had to host a party to show off how swag we were and bringing out all our Barrel of Rum +1 really helped. All that random junk loot in our bag of holding? +1 swords out the wazoo. And nothing feels fancier than +1 undergarments.

[FarrenVT]

My favorite use of the Wish spell has to be the time my character died to the Deck of Many Things, only to be brought back from the next card.
So, my character, a Harengon named Farren, decided to draw from the deck, and pulled the Talons card. Wouldn't be too big of a deal... but he was forcefully attuned to the Eye and Hand of Vecna the session prior, and the DM ruled that those would also disappear, which killed Farren.
Another character named Rissa, decided to draw a card. She pulled the Moon card, granting her 4 wishes.
She used the first wish to bring my character back. What does Farren do?
He runs up to her and hugs her, his small rabbit tail wagging in the moonlight. Definitely one of the most wholesome moments I have ever had in a DnD game by far.

"I want +1 AC"
-the warforged, who alredy has 22.

[davfree]

A genie tells the party “You have 3 wishes” and one member of the party uses two without thinking. With one wish left the Wizard asks how the process of the wish works in regards to the system the genie uses to decide when the wish counter ticks down.
The genie says, “you make a wish, I grant the wish, then I subtract a wish until you have no more wishes left.”
The Wizard smiles. “I wish for no more wishes left.”
Puzzled the genie grants the wish, but then the wizard points out that because he wished for no more wishes he set their number to 0… and then the genie ticked off a wish taking the count to minus one wishes.
We then spent the next hour poking the DM on what that meant seeing as to others, it looked like the genie had granted four wishes and accidentally kicked off the genie wars where powerful magic users began searching the rarest of rare, four wish genies in the world while others tried to enhance their genies through experimentation that resulted in one such genie gaining freedom and began fighting to free others of its kind.

[guillater]

Once in an old campaign, the party was moving through a perilous dungeon over a couple of sessions. Some characters died and players had to make new ones that were "trapped in the dungeon". During the bbeg fight at the end, everyone, and i mean everyone, was being obliterated. The last remaining player had an amulet with a wish spell in it. In a moment of panic, he said "i wish none of this had ever happened". The DM laughed and said something like "the whole world becomes a blur for a moment and then reshapes like the tavern where the party first met (in session 1, it was more than a year long campaign). NONE of this ever happened."
The party decided to leave this land to do another quest instead of redoing the same one with the knowledge they had 😂

[TheRedRobin]

I have one, it is more of a story and the events were scripted between myself and the DM. We were playing in a Humblewood campaign and there was six players and the DM. I played a Mapach Monk who was sort of an airhead. There was also a Sorcerer, a Bard, two Rangers and a Paladin. At some point I thought it would be funny for my character to waste a Ring of Three Wishes and so I begged the DM for one and she eventually relented after I promised that it would stay with me and that the ring would only be used on stupid wishes. Before anybody gets mad, this wasn't a serious campaign and it was an item that we wouldn't have gotten anyway if I hadn't asked for it. Anyway it went like this. We were in this villain type characters house and we started looting his stuff. We found a jewelry box and with the help of detect magic we knew that several of the pieces were magical. We each took turns pulling out pieces of jewelry. The DM had a complete poker face and played it casual describing each piece and their school of magic if they had one. She hid it so well that I didn't even realize it was going down, it had been several sessions since she agreed and had told me I wouldn't get it right away. I realized what was happening when it got to me and she described the ring as having three shining jewels fixed into the ring. I knew exactly what this was without even needing to identify it, one of my fellow players knew the description as well and immediately got excited. He didn't want to metagame so upon seeing the ring he rolled Arcana to identify it and succeeded. He blurted out what it was in character and I feigned shock and the dialogue proceeded as such.
Monk(IC)- "Wow a ring that will grant wishes."
Ranger1(OOC)- "Aw, what? Were these randomly determined."
DM- "Not really I-" (Bard cuts off the DM)
Bard(OOC)- "I don't think we should take that."
Ranger1(OOC)- "Why not? We're already robbing him of everything else."
Bard(OOC)- "Yeah but that's a super valuable item."
Ranger2(OOC)- "Yeah, something like that could attract trouble."
Monk(OOC)- "We're already attracting trouble by robbing this guy."
Paladin(OOC)- "We already killed his dogs and a bunch of his guards, we can't possibly piss him off any more than we already are."
Ranger1(IC)- "We should wish for something, while we have it we could at least get one wish out of it."
Monk(OOC)- "Pff-, alright"
Monk(IC)- "What should I wish for."
(The DM starts audibly cackling but it's muffled, we were playing over Discord so we couldn't see her face)
(Several suggestions were made for what to wish for.)
Monk(IC)- "Hmmm, aww man I can't think of anything. I wish I had a good idea for what to wish for"
DM- "One of the jewels goes dark, suddenly the idea to wish to know the exact location of Red Spot (a Jirbeen assassin whom we were trying to hunt down) pops into your mind."
Monk(IC)- "Aww that's such a good idea, I wish I'd thought of it sooner."
DM- "Another jewel goes dark and two hours ago your character had the idea to wish to know the exact location of Red Spot."
Bard(OOC)- "What the fuck are you doing!?"
Ranger1(OOC)- "Those actually count as real wishes!?"
(The DM is laughing super hard)
DM- "He said "I wish" and he's holding the ring."
(Ranger 2 and Sorcerer and laughing, they like chaos)
Paladin(OOC)- "Why would you give {my name} such a valuable item."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "Someone try to take the ring from him. He already wasted two of the wishes."
Monk(IC)- "Dang, I already wasted two of the wishes. I wish I hadn't even been the one to find this stupid ring."
Paladin(OOC)- "GOD DAMMIT!!!"
Sorcerer(OOC)- "Come on man."
(DM, Ranger 1 and Ranger 2 are all laughing super hard right now, Bard is laughing so hard she starts choking)
(Through her laughter the DM barely gets out this next line)
DM- "Suddenly time and space shifts and the Sorcerer is the one holding the Ring of Three Wishes, all three gems have gone dark."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "I throw the ring at Monk."
Monk(IC)- "Hey, what was that for??"
Sorcerer(IC)- "You know what."
Monk(IC)- "What?"
Paladin(OOC)- "This is so stupid."
Sorcerer(IC)- "You wasted those three wishes."
Monk(IC)- "What are you talking about?"
Sorcerer(IC)- "What!?"
Ranger2(OOC)- "Oh my God."
Sorcerer(IC)- "What do you mean what am I talking about?"
Monk(IC)- "What wishes?"
Ranger2(OOC)- "{Sorcerer's Name} he wished that he never found the ring, so technically he never wasted those wishes."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "Nah, bullshit. He did though."
Bard(OOC)- "Whish can alter recent events, but it's kind of up to the DM. But technically we are on a new timeline."
Monk(OOC)- "So then..."
DM- "So Monk did waste the Ring of Three Wishes, however that was in a different timeline. In this timeline Sorcerer found the ring instead."
Ranger1(OOC)- "So then Sorcerer wasted the ring in this timeline then?"
DM, Bard, Monk- "No" (we all said it at the same time)
DM- "In this timeline Sorcerer hasn't made any wishes because they are already gone."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "But if nobody used the ring in this timeline then they should still be available in this timeline."
Paladin(OOC)- "I hate everything about this."
Monk(OOC)- "It would have to be used, because the ring is what created this alternate timeline. If it wasn't used then this timeline wouldn't exist."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "But it wasn't used in this timeline."
Bard(OOC)- "Yeah but it was used though, this ring is the same ring from the previous timeline, it just created a new timeline and placed itself in it."
DM - "That makes enough sense. Also the ring no longer exists in the previous timeline then, when it disappeared from Monk's hand it vanished from that timeline completely."
Paladin(OOC)- "This is so stupid."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "So the wishes are just gone"
(Several people said yes simultaneously)
Sorcerer(OOC)- *Sigh*"So in this timeline we also don't know that it was Monk who wasted the wishes?"
DM- "Yeah, in this timeline that didn't happen."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "My character knows, and if he doesn't he has a feeling in his heart."
DM- "I don't know... Let's say that every time you look at the ring you feel an unending fury toward Monk."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "Fine."
Monk(OOC)- "Yeah that's fair."
Ranger1(OOC)- "Also in the other timeline we all killed {My Name}'s character."
Monk(OOC)- "Step of the wind???"
(DM is cackling, Bard and Ranger 1 are laughing, Paladin is making sound effects of themselves attacking with their hammer)
DM- "Technically you guys are not in control of those characters anymore."
Bard(OOC)- "So then what does happen?"
DM- "Well, all of your characters kill {My name}'s character."
Monk(OOC)- "Dang"
DM- "You all loot his corpse."
Sorcerer(OOC)- "Yeah."
Ranger1(OOC)- "Fuck yeah."
Monk(OOC)- "That's fair."
DM- "And in that timeline only, not this one, it turns out that {My name}'s was secretly the BBEG all along and you all take turns kicking his corpse."

There was more after that, the session ran for another hour but I'm not going to keep going. The truth that it was staged was revealed at the end of that session. After the second wish Ranger2 was onto us and they were the one who confronted us about it at the end of the session.

[Caragoner]

Mine comes from my dad 2AE. He had a cursed dwarf fighter named Boktor who lost all but 3 of his intelligence. He had 18 strength though (considering an ungodly back then). He once used a wizard with a magic shield granting ring as a club for a full dungeon.
Well at one point they were fighting some hags over a river and had no way to really hit them as their wizard wasn't there. Earlier they had gotten a ring of wishes and given it to the most trusted member. Or so they thought. With a sigh the member says "God I wish someone in our party could fly". The entire table screamed NO at once. The dm smiled, rolled a dice, and guess who got the ability to fly. With grace the living brick that was Boktor now took flight as he pummled the hags to death. Later he had all kinds of antics. Including using the party's gnome wizard as a human shield against boulders when they were sieging a cloud giant lair. The wizard, in fact, did not survive

[kaljaxa]

This happened in a game I was running back in the '86 or '87 (been a long time).

setup: Had one really annoying player (AP). He was playing a Magic-User. More than once already a private discussion had been had about whether to remove said player. Problem solved itself one day when the following happened. Session has been running for about 3.5 hours when party gets a Ring of Wishes with 1 wish on it. Barbarian (with a 5 INT) had current possession. AP had previously saved Barb from a Necklace of Strangulation. Every 4 or 5 mins real time over the next 30 mins AP nags the Barb player (IC) reminding him about saving his life and that he owed him and that he should give him the ring. Then it happened.

AP: My Wand of Identify says it's a Ring of Wishes!
Barb: I'll think about it.
AP: I want it! I have the perfect wish.
Barb: Me think...Hard to think. Need quiet.
AP: Come on! I did save your life after all.
Barb: Yes. You saved me. Now, I just wish you shut up forever.

There was a gasp from everyone and then silence at the table for a moment. AP says (OOC) to Barb player. "I'm a F***ing magic-user. Do you know how badly you just screwed me?" Barb player shrugged and says, "learn when to not speak and maybe things like this wouldn't happen to you."

We ended the session there. AP never returned.

[darcraven]

ive always wanted to cast wish and say "we've screwed up some along the way.. i wish to restart our journey" and see what the dm says

[transyuri]

That wish with the necromancer's daughter was chef's kiss.
