The DM did IMPURE things to my PC!

[Turanil]

PS Since you're chaotic now might as well become evil too and start killing all the other PCs and NPCs

I second this opinion but with a twist. Since the DM wouldn't allow such a behavior, be more subtle. Try to do something really stupid (in being chaotic) that will endanger the party and provoke a TPK. Then, take your most genuine - sincere - naive expression and declares "But my character is chaotic!"

T'as un mac ? Il te laisse de l'argent de poche ?

PS for the confused: "Mac" is French for "Pimp". And Macintoshes are expensive computers. So it's a joke about the mac leaving enough, or not, money.

I got this excellent Macintosh for free. It gives me the huge advantage of being spared of internet viruses (as I keep my PC out of any connection, and Macs are not targeted by viruses as PCs do).

I could tolerate such a Charm for maybe half-a-session. After that, forget it. I'd assume the DM and other Players hated how I play my PC and wanted to shut me up.

Call your DM right away and say something like, "I'm not having any fun. I'm tired of waiting for the Charm to expire. End the Charm not an hour into the next session, not the following session, but now."

The DM, of course, will pull the same ol' crap: "Trust me, wait and see..."

Say, no--that you're finished with waiting. You won't be gaming until the Charm is gone.

If he insists that the Charm must last an hour into the next session, tell him to call you when it's off and you'll come over then.

Stick by your guns.

I think before I comment, I need you to answer some questions:
(a) Was the only effect of the spell to make your character's views accord with those of the other PCs?
(b) Do you know what spell was cast on you to cause this?
(c) Who was the individual who cast the spell?

Next time you're on watch, let the Chaos side take over. Go quietly from PC to PC and commit a coup de grace on the chaos worshippers who have foisted this horrific slavery on you. Have ready the page reference to the rules for making listen checks while asleep, and be ready to make sneak checks--or just cast a silence spell prior to your treachery. Once you've finished this, wander out of the story.

That's exactly what I would do. Burn the corpses and scatter the ashes.

Failing that, next time you're in combat and the chips are down, switch sides and attack your fellow party members when they're weak and you're strong. Make sure you take at least one of them out.

(I'm a big fan of the death knell spell. "You're dying? You need healing? Let me help...")

Seriously.

DO IT.

My advice is to play the character true and trust the DM or quit the game.

It's likely your PC will have his revenge if that's what you have in mind (whether or not the charm is broken).

Don't just go and CDG your fellow PCs, that's just being a baby by bringing OOC issues IG.

 

[Pielorinho]

Don't just go and CDG your fellow PCs, that's just being a baby by bringing OOC issues IG.

Actually, my reason for suggesting not to do this is bringing OOC issues IG: I think he ought not do this because that's crossing the rubicon. There's no going back after that: do that, and you're not ever going to game with these folks again.

I think it's perfectly in-game for a character who's been charmed to follow a religion they find abhorrent to look for a way to act within both the charm and their original outlook. Killing one's cohorts is certainly an act of chaos; killing one's betrayers and enslavers is certainly an act of the betrayed, the slave.

But sometimes for a good game you have to find ways of acting in-character that make the game fun for everyone else. The other players are not doing this; nor is the DM. If dead also doesn't do this, then I thikn the group isn't going to last long. I think his best bet is to communicate this idea clearly and politely to the DM and other players, and then to see whether they're going to persist in trying to make the experience not fun for him.

There is no way in all the hells you can convert others by using spells. If there was such a thing, the streets would be open spellwar with people changing allegiances every other round or so.

They screwed up, big time. I'd say such a party isn't any good to play in. Go ahead and kill them on a whim. You are chaotic now, after all. Your character being chaotic is something of a u-turn the way you describe him. Before, he disliked everything unnatural. Being enspelled by the other characters, you now embrace that. Doing bad things on a whim was anathema to you, now you do it with gusto. They did that to themselves. Then just leave the group.

For a long time I did the same thing-- PvP isn't the way this game is supposed to be played.

And so for a long time I, the player, overlooked things another PC was doing that my own PC would never have tolerated for even a moment.

Eventually it became too much and, for the sake of my character and the integrity of the game, I whacked him. (Rather famously, at least in Story Hour circles.)

Whacked him... to save the game. (Got a Seinfeld ring to it, that does.)

I think Wulf Ratbane is my new hero.

Seriously, as you describe the situation, you are f****d. The charm won't ever wear off as then it would mean you would either kill your fellow party members for doing this to you or leave the group. Obviosuly the DM doesn't want this (he probably does have something in mind but I doubt it is going to be anything you'll want to take part in) so he continues to effectively control your character now and into the forseeable future.

And as far as I can see this isn't even an out of game/in game thing. He's been "charmed" (love to see what spell that really is even in Warhammer there is no spell I can find) and is being forced to act against his normal alignment. Since the DM won't give him the extra save he deserves there has to be some repercussions for this (besides the character's suicide).

 

[fanboy2000]

The way I see it, you have 3 options:

1. Leave the game and join a new one.
2. Leave the game and start your own as the GM.
3. Stay in the game, but get your character killed and roll up a new one that better fits the party.

For reasons already mentioned, I don't sugest burning your bridges, but there's a good chance that they deserve it.

If you go with number 3, do it with style. Decide that the strain on your charcacter's psyche is too much and he's gone insane and suicidal. Get him killed in some spectacular fashion that your fellow players will remember for years. If you need help playing crazy, watch Batman and pay attation to Jack Nicholson's performance. Lots of good stuff there.

If burning your bridges is just too good an option to pass up, this thread already has some great ideas in it. Whatever you do though, do it with style and make it memorable. And remember to channel you inner Jack Nicholson.

Don't just go and CDG your fellow PCs, that's just being a baby by bringing OOC issues IG.

[sarcasm]Yeah, because they haven't done anthing in-character to justify it.[/sarcasm]

Seriously, what do you consider in-character if magically changing your fellow PC's religion isn't it?
