How is wanting a level playing field for both NPCs and PCs idiosyncratic?
Here's your level playing field, then:
- The GM gets to decide when you live or die as suits the story
- The GM determines everything your character gets to do
- The GM gets to say you have to spend the next three sessions on the sidelines because your story isn't the focus
- You never get to make the story; your only job is to inhabit it
How do you like being on an even playing field with NPCs now?
