When I started this thread I wasn't intending to get into a debate about the merits of the NPC Mages and their Schools of Specialisation - but I guess it's a popular subject that divides opinions. I am using Xzar for roleplaying, so his strengths and weaknesses are part of his character. Being out in the wilderness with 4HP, a little Dagger and the not too impresive Chill Touch spell to fall back on, it's no wonder he needs Montaron as a minder - but does he?
By way of a little roleplaying I took my party to the Carnival. Xzar got into deep discussions with Zeke and bought two scrolls (one via cluaconsole). Then before we could stop him, Xzar had created a stone statue out of Monty, to be used as the new carnival attraction, and replaced him with Branwen as his new (better looking) companion. Yep, being totally crazy does make him a fun character to have along for the ride.
