I’m currently playing a Path of the Zealot Barbarian in our Curse of Strahd campaign, and I’m honestly really bored. The game has been very heavy on roleplay, which is fine, but there are stretches of 2-3 sessions with almost no combat, leaving me feeling completely useless. I’ve talked to my DM about it and suggested adding a bit more fighting, but so far, nothing has changed.
Because of this, I came up with a new character concept that I’m really excited about—a Hexblade Warlock. I think it would let me engage more in social and roleplay-heavy scenarios while still having cool combat options when fights do happen. The problem is that my DM said I couldn’t switch yet and proposed a storyline that would take 3-4 sessions before the transition could happen. That’s almost a month of continuing to play a character I’m not enjoying in a game I’m struggling to engage with.
I don’t want to leave the group—they’re great, and we all get along really well. I just don’t know how to handle this. Am I being unreasonable for wanting to switch sooner? DMs, how do you handle situations like this when a player is really bored with their character?
