Sins of the Saviors - Corrupt wish advice

[UkOgre]

Hi All

The Party i'm Dming has just reached the point were they:

How:

fight the Glabrezu in The Scribblers Lair. Of course during that fight the Glabrezu invite someone to make a wish, at which point the barbarian cries “I wish I was more stronger”….

So with immediate affect I granted him the benefits of the enlarge spell, more damage but easier to hit, this kept combat flowing and allowed him to be pretty chuffed with his power trade. However over the next few sessions the character will change his base race into an ogre including some of the deformities seen on the Graul Ogres in Hook Mountain. I had planned to replace his base stats with that of an ogres so strength up but a serious hit to Dex and Intelligence, )allowing him to re-apply his level bonus adjustments).

My question is twofold, is this the best way to handle the stat change, and is this really a big enough downside. After all this is a corrupt wish, granted in a temple of Lamashtu?

Cheers

I think it's an appropriate response; but you need to make sure there is a way to reverse it, even if it is as costly as using another Wish to 'break the transmutation'.

Seems thematic for Lamashtu, and the history of the game.

I agree - this sounds exactly what a demon servitor of Lamashtu would do if someone wished to be stronger. You get what you want, and damn the consequences.

I wish I had thought of that!
