   * Increasing rolled HP for a previous level. Amount raised will be equal to the low average of the hit die, up to the maximum hit die value for that level. For example, if a 2 was rolled for a fighter’s level, the new roll would be 7 (2 + 5). If a second wish was used on that same roll, it would go to 10 (7 + 5, limited by the maximum value of the hit die, so 10, not 12).   * Increasing rolled HP for a previous level.

 ===== Using wishes to surpass level caps ===== ===== Using wishes to surpass level caps =====
  
 Wishes cannot be used to surpass class level caps, regardless of whether the cap is due to the nature of race or the limits of the class.((Allowing this would probably make it the "best" use of a wish. A party would likely often want to save their wishes to use on breaking level limits. Socially, players of non-humans may even go so far as to expect that the wishes will be used on their characters, since gaining an extra level can be so powerful for the party. Furthermore, the other major power increases that can be gained from wishes are more restrictive. Ability scores past 16 require 10 wishes per single point, and wishing for a magic item only gives the location of such a treasure. All that being considered, we do not recommend that wishes can be used in this way.)) Wishes cannot be used to surpass class level caps, regardless of whether the cap is due to the nature of race or the limits of the class.((Allowing this would probably make it the "best" use of a wish.
