wit near the end of oathbringer

[TousenShadowForged he/him]

Anyone notice wit near the end of the book started doing exactly what wayne does? I haven't read every book sanderson has but  the few I have I never seen hoid act out that way.

 

His behavior was like spot on with what wayne does when he goes around town on his "errands". 

 

Not saying wayne and hoid are the same  that's  preposterous lol,just wondering why he behaved like wayne.

I know what wit was there for the spren/cryptic.

[Toaster Retribution he/him]

Both Wayne and Wit are skilled at social interaction. Both of them know that the best way to avoid suspiscion is to fit in with the locals. 

[Calderis he/him]

Hoid was being Hoid. Following his weird sense that says he's supposed to be places, and trying to help. 

A portion of his "Errands" are working around his limitations, like the whole need for someone else to harm him for his disguise. 

[StormblessedSurvivor he/him]

Why does someone else need to harm him?

Hoid is incapable of causing physical harm, even to himself.

So, Hoid can't physically hurt someone, but does this ban extend to mental harm and harm through inaction?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

No. Hoid can mentally hurt someone, or allow them to be hurt, but when considering physical trauma he gets nauseous, to the point he can be incapacitated

Hoid gets his tooth knocked out while in Kholinar. He prompts somebody else to help him with that. Is that because he has issues hurting not only other people but himself?

Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]

Yep.

And then he considers healing that at a later point in time. Which magic system does he consider using to heal that?

Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]

A magic system that predates-- predates any of the others.
