There's always a degree of danger in letting someone else play your character. Of course there's also always a degree of danger in playing your character yourself, but something unfortunate happens to them in someone else's hands, the feeling is worse.
Despite this, I let my DM play my bard for a level when he wanted to, and I took over as temporary DM. Four encounters later he had gotten my character diseased and she was slowly mutating into a tentacled outsider. By the time they levelled, which was when I resumed control of her, she'd lost all her hair. Fortunately the disease had been healed before she'd begun growing face-tentacles.
So in this case, she just adopted an attitude of "it's just hair, it'll grow back". After all, they saved a man's soul by not abandoning their mission to seek healing the moment she contracted the disease. As my character though, her design is essentially changed now.
That's just one example of something happening when you let someone else play your character. Anyone have other stories? Or do you not let other people touch your characters no matter what?
