I've gotten +6 plate mail every time I've asked for it! I've done some experimenting as the wizard and found that +7 plate mail always works, "3 +3 crysknives" sometimes works and sometimes gives you 3 -3 crysknives (does anyone know if weilding 3 weapons works any better than weilding one?). You can only wish for one wand at a time, 3 of anything else, and +3 anything always seems to work. Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "Uh oh.
