My teifling warlock 6 / sorcerer 7 has just been granted the ability to use wish, twice, by my DM as the result of some selfish and deceitful role playing against my party (goodby ancient water elemental that everyone else wanted to free, I will use your power well).
question is what to use them on? I was thinking about something a bit different, I have always been a bit jealous of the Rouges expertise feature.Do you think it would be to much to wish for my proficient to skills to become expertise if I appropriately worded the wish?
My skils are arcana, deception, history and investigation. This would greatly help my roles in role playing my character lust for knowledge and power, without making him a combat god. Feedback and ideas welcome.
Reliable Talent By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
Then you can pay for training in the feat Skilled.
You gain proficiency in any combination of three skills or tools of your choice.
Then you have only used one wish, some gold, and time.
Then you can still use the other one to pick up expertise if you want.
Ahh granted Wishes, they used to be a source of both wonderment and fear. Sure you could end up with something exciting and new, if you word it right, but something like this "I wish to know more about Magic" (expert in Arcana) and suddenly your character is whisked away to a forgotten and buried library where you spend the next 40 years of your characters life studying until you can find a way to transport yourself out, all the while living on molerat and water dripped in from the roots of ancient trees.
That being said I think the power of a Wish is definitely great enough to grant you expertise in a skill. 2 wishes, 2 areas of expertise. But every DM will play this out differently.
Honestly, this is probably as much dependent on the DM and why he gave you the wishes as much as what you want to do with them.
If you read the "Wish" spell .. it can be pretty limited. The only reliable usage is to replicate the ability of 1st-8th level spells. All the other applications describe temporary effects or even just re-rolling one die from a recent event. On the other hand, the traditional interpretation of Wish is extremely broad and wide-ranging. You can literally wish for almost anything you can imagine. This is where you might want to check with the DM if you haven't already and get an idea of what they consider as reasonable for a Wish in this case. (It's also possible that you ended up with these wishes because something he has planned down the road might be nasty enough that you will need them).
Other than that ... some ideas:
Skilled feat
Prodigy feat (XGtE - not available to Tiefling's normally but this is a wish :) )
One level of rogue (1 skill + expertise in 2 skills + other stuff)
Reliable Talent feature (as mentioned)
Bard Jack of all Trades feature (would give you some ability at all skills but master of none)
Stone of Good Luck (+1 to all skills and all saves)
One feature I think would be amazing on any character is the Monk Diamond Soul feature - proficiency in all saving throws.
.. or you could just wish for expertise in two skills of your choice.

Hello,

For that i would actually pick up this:

I like the sound of the reliable talent feature. I am a notoriously low roller. Soo many dice in purgatory.
Purgatory?!
No way, if they fail you that many times, take a blow torch to them and show the other dice the melted horta (star trek) puddles.
