You entreat your patron to grant you a small wish. As an action, you can speak your desire to your Genie’s Vessel, requesting the effect of one spell that is 6th level or lower and has a casting time of 1 action. The spell can be from any class’s spell list, and you don’t need to meet the requirements in that spell, including costly components; the spell simply takes effect as part of this action.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish 1d4 long rests.
So it’s limited wish and even by 20 I wouldn’t get a full wish spell. Maybe the full wish spell way stronger? Also Idk about if the vessel is destroyed me and my genie will die seems like way to big a weakness especially since I use the vessel as my spell casting focus.
I meant, more along the lines of: If your in battle and you retreat into your vessel as a safety net to avoid death (which is kinda more crazy than druids blending into rocks), the vessel is still out in play so (if say) an orc smashed the thing to pieces, you and genie should, in theory, die. Like, that would be a massive risk/weakness as a result of having a powerful Genie on your side (that let's you fly later) and place to retreat to (if the monster notices this happening. It doesn't always though). If not smashed to death, you'd be trapped in a pocket realm for all eternity, in theory.
Having looked over the Genie Build though, I'll reconsider. Either the vessel gets shattered (after 0/10HP) and both you and genie die inside it, or if the vessel acts as a substitute "shield" with 10 HP that when broken, you get ejected out. But instead of a stupid 1-hour saving grace period, it's 3 hours of work to form a new vessel and two levels of exhaustion for 12hrs. Not for nothing, but you get off WAAAAY too easy for basically using your patron as a magical meat shield. I think this is pretty fair.
Your patron gifts you a magical vessel that grants you a measure of the genie’s power. The vessel is a Tiny object, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You decide what the object is, or you can determine what it is randomly by rolling on the Genie’s Vessel table.
Genie’s Vessel
d6
Vessel
1
Oil Lamp
2
Urn
3
Ring with a compartment
4
Stoppered bottle
5
Hollow statuette
6
Ornate lantern
While you are touching the vessel, you can use it in the following ways:
Bottled Respite. As an action, you can magically vanish and enter your vessel, which remains in the space you left. The interior of the vessel is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel. The interior is appointed with cushions and low tables and is a comfortable temperature. While inside, you can hear the area around your vessel as if you were in its space. You can remain inside the vessel up to a number of hours equal to twice your proficiency bonus. You exit the vessel early if you use a bonus action to leave, if you die, or if the vessel is destroyed. When you exit the vessel, you appear in the unoccupied space closest to it. Any objects left in the vessel remain there until carried out, and if the vessel is destroyed, every object stored there harmlessly appears in the unoccupied spaces closest to the vessel’s former space. Once you enter the vessel, you can’t enter again until you finish a long rest.
Genie’s Wrath. Once during each of your turns when you hit with an attack roll, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your proficiency bonus. The type of this damage is determined by your patron: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).
The vessel’s AC equals your spell save DC. Its hit points equal your warlock level plus your proficiency bonus, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.
If the vessel is destroyed or you lose it, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and the previous vessel is destroyed if it still exists. The vessel vanishes in a flare of elemental power when you die.
I think it can basically work in battle as a a 10 point health shield but I wouldn’t be able to attack or anything while inside. I think the way the designed it according to these rules make it really balanced In the end I see it as more of a spell casting focus and a utility item to be used in some creative situations. :) I can understand you not wanting op characters though I wanna really do wanna feel like going from zero to hero! By the way I can give you access to quite a few of the handbooks if you’d like 👍🏽

I am new player to D&D!I am trying to learn to DM as well!
Lol I don’t think there are any sixth level spells that make dragon puppies or let me become invincible. It’s more like I can just use any classes sixth level spell for free once and then the random recharge if you want the full four days that’s fine with me :)

I mean using the limited wish to make a dragon your new puppy. It's a limited wish, lol.
I'm just saying all of this because I can see a massive loop hole for using the vessel as: A "safe House" or "Bag of Holding" or "Magical Defense Shield" or something crazy powerful. I want a sort of: High Risk, High Reward sort of balance. Especially since it will literally allow up to five (I think it's five) people plus yourself inside the vessel down the road.
Hi PyroYuki. I submitted my character earlier today. I'm still deciding between Mobile and Magic Initiate for my Arcane Trickster. Please take a look when you have a chance. I'm excited to see what you think. Thanks! :)
Hello I just finished my character for approval, I hope I am picked for this campaign as it seems fun, and I just wanted to know if I could play an Oath of the Open Sea Paladin since all the stuff for it is here on DnD Beyond, if not it's cool I have a few other Oaths that I have and can easily pick a back up character
Edit: I just fixed my characters ability scores sorry I didn't see that post on standard array and as for feats I really don't know what feats I might take until after I start playing my character aside from the one on my character sheet Idk if that's a problem or not and here's my discord in case you need a better way of communicating with me El Swood#0822
I am very interested in your campaign, but I am very hesitant about your restrictions to character race and sub classes to only the players handbook. I know in other posts you talked about having read tashas book yet. All it really does it let you play any race and change their primary and secondary attributes. So you could for example, play a highly intelligent dwarf, or a very sneaky goliath. As far as worrying about sub classes, I would not accept home brewed options, but anything printed from wizards (not unearthed arcana) is already heavily tested and not broken. I will submit two characters and I look forward to chatting with you. If you have any questions feel free to message me back on here or personal dm.
Hello PyroYuki I am interested in joining this very interesting campaign if I am chosen sweet if not have a good campaign and may your players not derail it to much.
its a helf-elf fighter but a have a support character waiting but it wont allow me to join with either one, and they are both basic races and classes
If this is still open id be more than willing to join my discord is silverwolf2342#9068 Im available during those times all year and have been playing for years so id be very happy to continue with some new players.
ok so im not really familiar with this game (D&D) cause i just started, but id be more than willing to join if its ok...............wait how do we play D&D on this and do we play D&D on this?
Character should be submitted & updated to be one of the domains. If there is any feedback on the characters, would you let us know here, via private message, or will we learn once you decide who will take part in the campaign?
Hi there PyroYuki, this sounds very interesting. I tried to submit a character to the campaign so you could check it out, if you haven't decided yet, but it seems the campaign is full right now. Would it be alright if I send you my character over PM? Or I could just post it here for you to check it out. My character has an expansive backstory that can be changed to mingle well with the world if need be. Feel free to just let me know whenever. Thanks for your time!
I have signed up with 2 different characters - my first choice being the druid, but my 2nd was a cleric. I did notice you have a lot of clerics, so I might redo another 2nd character if you think that would be good.
hey i would like to play i made a kinda bare bones charcter because id like to know more before i hard commit on an idea for a guy. discord is Darkpsyduck#1877
Everyone, thank you for your interest, but I believe that I have already found my group (Which I adjusted from 5 or 6 to 7 Players total)
I had thought that this would have taken up the better half of the week to look over everyone's things, but after a little more than 24 hours, I believe I have my group. The following players are:
AhanM, RennacStArielle, BigMoDirty, MischiefMngr, CruzS22, PoisedPoison, and Aavinder.
I will be messaging you privately until Tuesday 1/12/21 (Session 1) If you are not these people, then I'm sorry. But keep looking for another DM/Group because this is now closed. Have a great day. Thank you!

I'm also cool with the Wish IF it's always 4 Days of Long Rest. And you can't bring people back from the dead or make a dragon your puppy.
