The DM did IMPURE things to my PC!

Oh, and your fellow players sound like jerks.

I can agree with that.

And DMs taking away player choice sucks.

It seems to me that the DM has a story he wants to run and he doen't care what happens to the PCs or what the players do, it is his story. The rest of you are along for a ride. I would personally talk to them out of game and issue complaints. And if they said I was over reacting, I'd either quite the group or at the very least kill off my character and make a new simple on. The new character would be very basic and I wouldn't care what happened to him since the DM has made it perfectly clear he is not my character. He is the DM's character to do with as the DM sees fit and I just happen to be playing him.

Or, I would tell that "DM" to play the character himself and find myself a decent DM. I won't waste time having a story read to me.

I would just totally embrace the worship of Chaos, begin talking with the DM about slipping warpstone cocktails into the other pc's drinks and when they transform into chaos spawn take control of them in the name of Tzeentch. Or just make a totally psycho multi-personality character whose mind has been forever altered by his brush with some majorly bad juju and who has distinct personalities who each worship different chaos gods. The other players were fine messing with chaos until their little puppet dwarf friend suddenly becomes a raving khorne berserker who kills them in their sleep and makes a little shrine from their skulls.

Or you could just tell the players that it was uncool to mess with you like that in the first place and tell the DM that if he needs that much help creating cool NPC's you would have helped him out and then find a new group. It certainly doesn't sound to me like your having fun and while revenge is very sweet its not very mature. I'd just bounce my friend, like they say the games fun till somebody gets their religion poked out and I don't think your DM is going anywhere real cool with this either. Stuff like this gets me steamed. :\

A made up divinely powerful spell. Its was actually laced into a book my PC was reading. Not sure on the details.

Probably the gnome wizard was the one who laid the spell trap in the book.

In game I think you should go about figuring out what spell or magic effect did this and then find some way to have it cast/inflicted on your companions. Make it your characters life goal to convert them to the way your character saw the world before all this happened

Except the DM is on the side of the other PCs so there is no way he would let that happen.

I'd dump the group and find a new one. PbP is a viable option until you find a group with a DM who doesn't have an overwhelming ego. Just peruse the talking the talk section until you find one that suits. Heck, if you want, I can ask our DM if he'd be willing to let you in one of his games. Maj is incredibly patient, especially with players who don't have a perfect understanding of the rules. Like me.

Also helps that the group I'm in are very good players and enjoy roleplaying too boot. Looks like the group you're in is more interested in backstabbing and screwing with other players. Dump em. You'll be happier in the long run.

Something like this already happened! The half-ogre fighter had been secretly telling the DM that his character puts warpstone in his companion's backpacks. This caused me to get a mutation on the leg. A little tentacle budded its way below the surface of the skin. It took ages for me to get rid of it! After being unsuccessful with curative potions, I had to go to a temple of Shaalia and have it removed. It was a major annoyance that lasted several adventures!!!!!!!!

And I knew who did it as a player (and my character suspected too) which made it frustrating to adventure with the insane half-ogre. But once again, I don't lay the final finger of blame on the player; I blame it on the DM. At the end of the day, everything filters through the DM. The DM will confirm whether you can back stab your fellow PCs or not.

Then dump the DM. If he's allowing this without your knowledge or say-so, then he's a poor DM. Any good DM worth his or her salt will at least tell the player before going on with the shenanigins ingame. AT LEAST any game I've played in this forum, the DM's have been incredibly good about that. Or I've been incredibly lucky with my DM's. I dunno.

But then, I ask for my characters to be screwed with. I like the roleplaying opportunities. LOL. Next thing I know, the DM is going to let one of my characters be possessed by a redeemed demon or something. I actually did that to a character in a game that went snafu awhile back.

I still say blame lies almost exclusively on the other players. They're the ones who chose to, apparantly from character creation, create a big plot just to mess with your character. You said yourself that you blame anything another player does to you on the DM, and that's... what's a good word... hooey. If a player attacks another player's character, it's not the DMs doing, it's the player's.

Suppose the DM doesn't allow it, he has an unhappy player. If he does allow it, he has an unhappy player. In your DM's case, he had four players to consider, and three of them wanted exactly what happened to happen. Your problem should be with them, and I'm going to guess that you're better friends with them than with the DM or that for whatever reason you don't want to tell them they've upset you. It is easier just to say "Well, he's a bad dm and a poor typist," but there are deeper things at work here.

I am starting to believe that problem is player/player conflicts. If your only problem is that you can't see your character adventuring with them, then make a new character. If you are, as I suspect, feeling victimized by the other players and transferring blame to the DM, then you should probably speak to them about it and not play with them anymore. To be even more brutally honest, that might have been the other players' intent to begin with.

You're the newest player in this (messed up) group? The DM is only partly at fault. The other players have decided to mess with you for whatever reason. (You're probably too serious or just an easy target. The DM is responding to Majority Rule.

Truthfully, if the DM doesn't see his actions as wrong, you have two choices:
1) Stay in the group in the hopes of finding some fun stuff in between screwups.
2) ditch them

They're doing what they enjoy, they're not going to change. If the fun you're having is overshadowed by the irritation, you should leave before it starts bleeding into other facets of life.
