Sorry, I thought I had made it clear to NA when he asked after the session that I wasn't coming back. I didn't enjoy the game.
First and foremost I felt I was being pidgeon holed into playing the dumb meat shield. I hate it when a player is pushed into playing a stereotype.
Secondly, I couldn't stand NA. It may have been just that game session but he drove me nuts. I love it when players have different motives and different goals, it produces fun situations when these motives come into conflict. Unfortunately is all NA did was whine. Every thing we did he complained about not wanting to do it, and how it was stupid. This really irked me.
Third: I felt very much it was a DM ran game. By this I mean in every situation, it was a DM NPC that solves the problem. For me, this takes me out of the game. It may have been sheer coincidence but it seemed to me that the ghost had the solution to all of our problems, and the players were just along for the ride. The players didn't even seem to know their own characters, as it was usually the ghost who gave suggestions on how to use their spells/abilities.
Fourth: I prefer a game that is more, "Gritty." I like seedy characters, evil monsters and questionable ethics. I don't want to cruise around with a group of peaceniks making friends with the world, but that is just me.
Finally: I just didn't like the feel of the game. The whole session left me feeling annoyed and bored. It wasn't enjoyable.

Fair enough.

On a side note: I should have gotten XP as a sixteenth level character as a half giant is +1 ECL.

On a side note, the setup was for new entries coming in at the ECL of the lowest current party member (at the time, Kaylin and Rilyrr, at 15th), and not drawing from sources I don't have access to (where was that nifty knoweledge feat from?). I would have mentioned it after the session, but it became a moot point, so ....
