Yes. Perhaps the cost scale should be relative to the character's starting levels? Hmm but then it would need a steeper scale, and it wouldn't impede going for the highest values. Not sure.

Not if racial variations were an offset.
Goblins do have a rough time in TFT as is. Goblins might have different maximums too, but if it's +8, well they'd still be 2 points total lower at maximum.

Yeah, that part I'm not as excited about, as I never liked Wishes used that way and it gets into wealth and power being able to buy personal excellence. Except...

Yes, definitely, and...
This change also nicely addresses this problem, though probably not to everyone's satisfaction. The maximum IQ normal wizard would be ST 8 DX 8 IQ 24... in order to create a wish, such a wizard would need to roll 3d versus 24 - 20 = 4, or 6 if he has a +2 Charm item. Muahaha, would-be industrial wish-makers! Of course, probably that wasn't part of Steve's intention, but personally I dislike industrially-made Wishes enough that I really would not mind.

And, your Psychic Combat talent therein would make wishes possible again - a theoretical human could get up to an 11 with it and a charm... though IQ 24 people might have to be forced by someone else who really want Wishes to do it, since it's still a huge risk of death.
