If it is as bad as you feel it is, then get out. But if you love your character, and want to continue playing, don't continually blame the GM for being a prick. That is METAGAME thinking. Instead of saying "The GM is a bastard," have your character grimly comment on "how cruel  this bleak world is."  or (more optimistically) talk about how your Patron God/Goddess must be testing you, and how you have remained (or have tried to remain) true.Ah... Your one of those "What's in it for me?" type Heroes huh? It's easy to be a hero when everything is treasure, babes and new spells. The true heroes are the ones that stay true when the times are tough.This sounds like a cop-out to me. It sounds like you don't like what happening to your character - so you are changing him into a different person.  Be true to your character and his beliefs.  It's one thing to become bitter and twisted, and even angry at how things have turned out, but to do this or "turn evil" (as you said in an earlier thread) would be throwing away the core of your character. If you are so ready to throw away your character's beliefs it sounds to me as if they weren't too strong to begin with.If you do decide to break down and turn to drink, or lose your faith etc be aware that the character has broken down, and treat it as such.  Don't be too flippant about such a change.Remember Lancelot in Excalibur/i]? How he betrayed the   King and left the court. When Percival meets him years later he is bitter and angry, railing against the Knights of the round table and so on. But finally, in the battle against Mordred he returns, still the best warrior, after all these years. it's stirring stuff.You can go through this too, if you stay true to the character.Of course, as I said at the start, if you don't think that things are going to get better, you could just tell your GM to get stuffed.</blockquote>
