[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 846442, member: 7172"] [b]I agree, but....[/b] I agree that the best course of action seems to be show the DM the error of his ways, but you need to consider some things when doing this -- 1) You said you are a subpar spell-caster: this needs to change. I'd highly suggest, if you're going the evil route, to abandon the Shaman class (why should you uphold the ways of the Elven spirits if they curse you so), and go into something more deadly, like Sorcerer or possibly just straight Fighter. Be prepared to lose ALL your spellcasting ability as ANOTHER curse. 2) The DM might have you in his plot so thick that he might attempt to circumvent your potentially derailing activities. He'll probably bring the hammer down on you harder and harder, in hopes you return to the place he had set for you. If you attempt to kill yourself, you may find that you are unable to die by your own hand (another curse) as punishment for your wrong-doings, or you may find you are "Curst" (to use an FR analogy), and cannot die by any means. If this is the case, then going evil is DEFINITELY the way to go. But... to play Devil's Advocate here... 1) The DM might not be telling you the whole truth. He MIGHT have plans in the future for your means of atonement, but doesn't want to tell you about them. He may be intentionally keeping you in the dark, thinking you'll stay on long enough to see the true genius of his story for your redemption. 2) Perhaps he hasn't planned it out, but he does actually intend to develop a means to lift/alleviate your curse as time goes by. Yet again, however, he doesn't want to let on about it, because he feels your being in the dark is important to the development of your character. [/QUOTE]
