Simply issue the first order to Simulacrum 1 to start production, and the infinite chain of simulacra that all obey you personally without the need for intermediaries begins. Though that completely voids the arguments in the Tiamat thread the one person had about using it on her I suppose.If the initial order is set up properly, each Simulacrum would order its simulacrum to obey you as it would obey its creator, so no telephone-game ordering through Simulacrum 1 would be needed. Simulacrum 2 casts Wish to create Simulacrum 3 of you, S3 creates S4, S4 creates S5, and so on until world domination. Since you haven't cast the spell again-Simulacrum 1 did-it avoids the restriction. Your first Simulacrum casts Wish to duplicate Simulacrum, and makes the simulacrum of you, not itself, so that Simulacrum 2 (created by Simulacrum 1, not you) has Wish. You, yourself, never cast it again, because of that very restriction.

Does make them easily replaceable since you can just cast it again once the first gets worn down and have a shiny new one.Create the first by casting the 7th-level spell Simulacrum, when you have a 9th-level slot and Wish prepared. So Wish would let you just make one instantly but to make a second destroys the first. 'If you cast this spell again, any currently active duplicates you created with this spell are instantly destroyed.' Other effects of the spell still remain and part of Simulacrum is: Wish simply duplicates a spell by casting it instantly and removing components and long cast times. Heck, walking up a hill shouldn't be allowed by that strict of a definition since that is increasing your power to survey the land, use any gliding abilities, and even just have a greater store of potential energy due to being at a higher elevation and being able to fall down. Makes everything simple without having to get tangled up about how just about every action possible is a potential increase in power.

Same for Bardic Inspiration (he came into being with that capability, it is merely transforming it rather than creating it). A Simulacrum Druid should be able to turn into a bear just like the original, but he doesn't possess the ability to gain the expended power back when lost.

I see the clause on not gaining power being not gaining abilities or features that were lacked before. It also means that you run into the ridiculous contest of arbitrarily deciding which spells count as making the user more powerful when it is the intended purpose of the Simulacrum to be able to cast spells. 'The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful' so it could not benefit from buffs like Bardic inspiration which make the subject more powerful.And if it is bestowing that Inspiration on another? And what about wearing armor which objectively makes the user more powerful (the increase in AC could well be worth a CR on its own!).
