The DM did IMPURE things to my PC!

The biggest problem I see with this scenario is that the other players did everything to this PC, they literally conspired as a group to do this, and all the blame falls on the DM. It seems if it had gone the other way, then there would be three disgruntled PCs cmplaining about how the dread tomes of Tzeentch had no effect on this player and that the DM wasn't doing his job by not enforcing some sort of penalty like a brief alignment shift. Even if he isn't the most eloquent person in the world, it seems they run a game that's a little more heavy on the play-acting side of things. And sometimes, unpleasant things happen, and you have to deal with them.

I also get the feeling that if the game was Vampire, no would see anything that out of the ordinary about this. When the game is about backstabbing and political wrangling, one should not be surprised when one gets backstabbed or wrangled.

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.
I´d give you the same advice.

It seemed the your DM had something up his sleeve
(because he told you to wait)
But maybe, he's just been a jerk.

Only you can determine this.
 


I forego my usual welcome to the boards here, for obvious reasons.

And I'd like a confirmation by dead himself that you're his DM, and not just a troll.

But with all my games in the Warhammer world their is always a twist and a way back.

It sure sounded that way when the whole party, including DM, ganged up on him and forced another character concept on him.

To all who want to complain and bitch about the way 'DEAD' was treated, mabey you just like a simple hack and slash!!! Keep playing your simple games and leave the best Dms' to do their jobs.

Insulting people, always a good way to start.

And thats kepping the players guessing. I NEVER LET THE PLAYERS KNOW WHAT THE CHAMPAIN WILL BE LIKE OR THE DIRECTION OF THE CHAMPAIN.

Capital spelling and spelling errors, a good way to make fun of oneself after praising oneself as one of the "best Dms'"

I still need to have fun and this is how I get it.

By screwing players up? That has "inferiority complex" written all over.

I write all my own material and never, never follow the rules as writen.

You never follow the rules? You ditch even the good stuff just out of spite? Why even bother with rules?
 

I think I need clarification. How exactly did they control your mind so strongly that you are under the effect of it 24-7? What spell or Magic item? What you describe is pretty damn powerful magic.

Talk to your DM and tell him you are not cool with they way things are going. It sounds like he is catering to the other three and making you the butt of a joke, which I wouldn't stand for. If I was in your shoes I'd probably tell him I don't like where your character is going and that you will be stepping out of the game.

railroading aplayier into playing a character that they don't want to play for several gaming sessions takes all the fun out of the game for that player. Yes, screwing with characters is the DM's job but you took it another level and screwed with the player. The person you call a friend. You f***ed him and you f***ed him good. You put three chaos worshippers in a party with 1 chaos hater and you expect everything to be just hunky f***ing dory?

Get a life, Rimple. Wake up and smell the coffee. If all of your players aren't having fun, you have failed at your job.
 

I was always under the impression that even dieties couldn't effect the way people worshipped. That being of the few things that are beyond their influance... hell why dont they just force everyone to worship them then?

I always figured at most they could trick someone into worshipping them through deciet.

3. Stay in the game, but get your character killed and roll up a new one that better fits the party.


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.

Nyah, next time the group sets up camp, write a short in character suicide not, and have the camp covered in Dwarf Entrails when they awake.
"I cannot reconcile the two voices in my head, I must be insane. Goodbye cruel world!"
 

Seems like this whole thing is being blow out of proportion.

The DM should have talked with the player in quesiton up front before anything happened in game etc. The player might have went along if in the loop. I think the part that burnt the player up was he/she was cut out of the loop and all the decisions regarding this matter and his character, were made without any input from him.I wouldn't like that either and I would nicely make it clear this wasn't ok with you to the DM and the other players.

DM's like players do stupid things on occassion because, "...at the time it seemed like a good idea..."

However, if I played with a group I like and I enjoyed the DM in other adventures etc before this, I wouldn't be too quick to blow the bridges up to make a major issue out of this. On similar note, I had a PC that got killed left behind by his adventure party. One PC returned to retrive him with another group of characters and got him raised. My PC refuses to have anything to do with his old group because he feels he was treated very badly. The other players didn't think this would occur and were apologetic etc. No need for be to "mess up the game" I just rolled up another PC for that group. My other PC plays in another group now and excellent friends with the one arranged his rescue. Everyone in my group is good friends and we're not going to let any sort of game related thing effect that.

I think a new character would be a very good idea at this point and I would turn the current one over to the DM if your sure you don't want to play him/her anymore.

And you are absolutely right. You cannot force anyone to worship you. If that were possible, mortals would merely be thralls in a direct battle between gods' wills.
