OOTS #860 - The Discussion Thread

I find this ridiculous. Most of the LG are characters with lives and motives of their own. Why should the team wizard be a simpleton obsessed with the idea of beating another, not that particulary powerful wizard to the point he adjusts his entire build towards it?

The LG's team wizard is, just like the rest of the LG, a NPC whose very reason to exist is the PCs.

Of course it's ridiculous if you look at it from a "Z's personal motives for doing it" POV... but that's not the point. The comic is PC-centered. Trying to find the reasons/motivation behind Z's behavior is fruitless, you might as well try to figure out what would the motivation be for 1d4 dire camels to find themselves in a swamp.
