Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cloudgatherer" data-source="post: 845016" data-attributes="member: 66">I'm in an Epic Campaign right now.  I created a 30th level sorcerer who "wills" magic into existence and can hurl his spells pretty darn fast (Auto-Quicken x2, Auto-Silent x2, Auto-Still).  He's got a pretty shady background, but has managed to escape it and now doesn't actively go out to help or hurt others (LN).So what happens during the first session?  My most powerful spell is a single 5th level spell, and I can cast a few spells of weaker level.  Oh, and most of my magic items don't work.  Over the last session my powers slowly start to return, and I'm basically required to wear a strange item to use my "normal" abilities.  Even still, my spell recovery is horrendous (I regain my lowest spell level per night, if any spells of that level have been cast).I found the situation humorous.  I'm not mad about not having my true spellcasting powers for one simple reason:  I was told up front I would be plot witch (self-sensored).  Yeah, I was told in so many words as well.  Perhaps something similar is going on here, but you just don't know about it.  Something in the plot in the future will remove the curse(s), but telling you ahead of time it would happen might ruin it...In the "sunder" thread, I explained how I was DMing and I thought I'd upgrade the party's weaponry.  I threw a couple of dwarves who broke a number of the party's weapons, but some in the party didn't take to that too well.  In the very next adventure I had planned for any broken magic weapons to be restored, and even to hand out upgrades where appropriate, but even still this caused me to lose several players.Point is, you don't know where it's going.  Isn't that part of the mystery?  I agree your character is royally nerfed, but perhaps this will be made up as the story progresses?I'm trying to give your DM some credit, and whether he deserves it is up to him.  Try sticking it out for a couple sessions, see if there is even a hint of getting better.  If not, tell your DM that you are not having fun with your character and you'd like to make a new one.</blockquote>
