Sorcery is the only sensible source of strength
Wishes -pg 143
Append to "(3) A wish can add 1 to any attribute of any character, as long as it does not raise that attribute over 14." the following: "And does not bring the sum total of all the character's attributes over 40." http://www.hcobb.com/tft/house_rules.html#Magic Do I have a second on this?

Re: Sorcery is the only sensible source of strength
Having shredded this loophole, there's a few characters to fix also.
Tollenkar: ST 10, DX 10, IQ 20, wears a +5 DX ring. Tarve: ST 9, DX 11, IQ 19, wears a +4 DX ring. Porphyry: ST 16, DX 9, IQ 13, wears a +4 DX ring. Winton: Staff is a 10 point lightning rod And so on.

Re: Sorcery is the only sensible source of strength
* Low-risk wishes that can raise stats imply that wizards who can do that will often have puffed up their stats as much as it allows.
To avoid that, you can: * Make wishes have serious risks (more than RAW), so you get some people who risked it and won, at least a few times, but probably no one who risked it so much the odds say they'd almost certainly be toast. and/or * Reduce the ability wishes give to raise stats. |

Re: Sorcery is the only sensible source of strength
Apply the 'Rule of 5' to wishes on any one character.

Or maybe the spell itself is rare/controlled/lost/very new.

Re: Sorcery is the only sensible source of strength
Do you mean to have a separate limit of 5 wishes per character, or to count a wish (presumably an ongoing permanent effect like a stat change) against the limit of 5 magic items, so that a character that's used 4 wishes could only activate one magic item?
