New Wizard Appears After Old One Dies

[DyssalC]

Because more people would want the wizards dead so that THEY could become the wizard, meaning you'd have loads of people just arming up to hunt the wizard in hopes that when a new wizard cycles in they become the new wizard, and if they don't well then they'll just have to hunt down the next wizard and the one after that and so on.

And of course the best way to deal with this is to just spam Magic Missile, Fireball, and Ei Nath until everyone swarming you is dead.

Yes, a skilled wizard COULD just use other spells to stun them and do their thing with golems and cluwnings and pandemonium, but considering how rare wizard is there aren't many skilled wizards, and this won't help people get better because it's going to make everyone more aggressive, thus limiting the lifespan of any new wizards to about the amount of time it takes to write out a salty rant about how everyone is a vigilante.

The best way to win as a wizard is to spam Magic Missile, Fireball, and Ei Nath. Who knew? People could still do gimmick wizard stuff, and honestly no one should be happy to see a wizard. Getting chosen as a wizard would be completely random, and since you'd have to be alive, there is more incentive to avoid the wizard if anything. Really it can't be a bad thing to make idiots who protect wizards less likely to do so.

But the thing is that a golem wizard or cluwne wizard or pandemonium wizard immediately makes themselves more vulnerable by taking those spells because they aren't primarily/directly offensive, as in those are spells that either won't save the wizard's ass or aren't reliable enough to save the wizard's ass, and the players will know you are more vulnerable BECAUSE you have these spells.

And yes, the fact that you have to be alive in order to be considered will give incentive to SOME to avoid the wizard, but I still believe that the staff assistant mentality will overcome self-preservation and it'll just promote wiz-round vigilantes, which is already a big enough problem as it is without giving even more reason to hunt them. Even though getting made wiz is a random chance it's still A CHANCE. It still means that if you kill the wizard you will have a chance at becoming wiz.
