Who's your Gandalf now, baby?

[dougmander]

The anti-Gandalf is usually slightly bumbling, kind of comedic, and always a pain in the rear. In one adventure, the PCs have to save him. In the next, they're chasing him down to kill him.

Ooh, I have one of those. He's a tiefling named Lord Juzco. He's a cross-planar merchant and one-man rumor mill. Even though he's screwed the PCs over several times and often has to be rescued from scary entities whom he's swindled, my players love him as a character, because he's a fun-loving, forgive-and-forget fellow.
