For those who participated in the previous threads by myself and randcortin about our gaming situation, your advice has been heeded. We have left the game.
It wasn't of our own free will. Despite assurances that we would work together on finding a time everyone could make the game, it's not being moved at all so it conflicts with a class rand and I are taking this semester.
We discovered this after rand handed the DM his new PC to replace the recently dead Gaspar and I spent ten minutes in the books thinking about what kind of cleric I wanted to play. Timely notice, surely.
Forrester died twice this session. A winter wolf and a green dragon. He got raised once but only two PCs survived the dragon and neither had any way to bring us back.
In my pursuit of a new PC, before being told that I wouldn't be able to make the game anymore, I asked the DM about a new house rule. The ensuring exchange was basically the height of our disagreement.
The DM ruled that templated PCs get hit dice for their equivalent levels. In the case it first came up was with a new half-celestial PC early in the session. He had 3d8 plus his class hit dice.
So I asked the DM what it would be for a half dragon. He told me it would be 3d10. I asked if he meant d12 because dragon hit dice are d12s. I think outsiders are d8 so I figured that's where the half-celestial's came from.
He looked angrily at me and told me that I didn't understand that what he says goes. I was polite about the question and didn't think it an unfair one. It's not unreasonable for players to ask the DM for his reasonings behind a rule. I wasn't questioning his authority, I just wanted to know his reasoning.
I told him somewhere after being snapped at that I asked a simple question and he was being something the profanity filter would catch about it. I also called him stupid, in retaliation for all the times we've been called stupid players.
You know, you guys were right. I tried to work with the guy. I tried being nice. I didn't challenge him over who was to DM the group. I held to the hope that he would eventually ease off and become more reasonable.
I don't think he had it in him. He was fine for making up plotlines and running combats, but he's totally lacking in the concepts of DM fairness or respecting your players.
I wont game with him again. Thanks to everyone who tried helping us out.
