I mean, the wizard teleports the party out, the GM says that the NPCs sacrifice the damsel, the really nasty thing turns up. Is this the end of the campaign? In which case it's not really a solution to making the campaign work.Or do the PCs now find themselves having to stop the nasty thing? In which case it is still the wizard who has dominated the direction and content of the game.The damsel situation will only work to stop the problem, it seems to me, if the player of the wizard is sufficiently invested in rescuing the damsel that s/he is prepared to press on - or to cooperate with the rest of the party pressing on - that s/he will do so even if low on spells/resources. Now obviously this is not an impossible, or even improbable, state of affairs. But I think it does tend to emphasise rather than de-emphasise the dominant position of the wizard in play.(My experience in these issues comes from RM, not 3E, but I don't think there are significant functional differences.)</blockquote>
