[QUOTE="Craer, post: 188245, member: 435"] Advice needed, folks. Here's the story. In my current campaign, I had a cleric named Arron Ghoulflayer. One of my favorite characters, actually. I had been playing him for quite a while, and I wanted a change of pace, so I had him leave the group to continue on in pursuit of his life mission, which was to find a rightously smite a vampire, named Trent, which had killed his entire family in front of him. This event sparked his anti-undead fervor and was the catylyst for him to take up the mace and scripture. Anyway, he had been with the group for quite a while, and as I said, he left after dying and being ressurected to go and pursue Trent on his own. He was sixth level at the time. Fast forward several out-of-character months, to last session. I was not present at the game that day. The DM, without even mentioning to me his intentions in the slightest, has Arron attack the group. Apparently, Arron was now vampire spawn, having failed at his mission to smite Trent. Arron was casting spells along the magnitude of Harm and the like, which meant that he was at least 11th level. The druid of the group attacked him and chased him into a building, where he proceded on whipping the snot out of Arron and killing him. I believe the Druid was 8-10th level. Arron despised undead with all his being. If he had become one, he would have killed himself on the spot. He was also very smart, not to mention amazingly wise, and would have known if he could have taken on a vampire of Trent's power. The DM used my character without telling me, and even then he played him poorly from what I understand. It enrages me that he would do that without even mentioning the fact that he was going to pull a kamikaze run with a semi-retired character that I had plans of bringing back. I was wondering what you folks would do in my situation. The DM has done things like this before, and I'm considering forming my own group. The problem, though, is that I like pretty much the rest of the group and don't want to leave them. What's a guy to do? Hope someone can shed some light on a maddening situation, -Craer [/QUOTE]
