That would be an extremely fun subclass and you know it! Just a set of interdimensional power brokers making weird deals with people

Oh I would love it.

Adding it to my list of terrible subclasses to design

I don't play games to be smart, I already have to be smart in real life for my job. It's an RPG, I'm RPing the dumbest person alive and letting the DM take us for a ride

Gygax was already a lawyer. Also a terrible person. This is why Dave Arneson got shafted.

Yes, the monkey's paw brought our son back to life as a shambling horror from the grave, but we're a lock for a preliminary injunction pending trial and after that it's just a question of delay tactics.

In a homebrew high level game there was a city run by 9 mage houses. One of them specialized in wish spells. They would write your wish for you, some of them were whole books.
