I had the same problem a few years back playing a wizard, DM and other players regarded anothing other than toe to toe combat as unmanly, with 'save or lose' spells being a cheat mode. It also didnt help with the DM not knowing what most of the spells did and having to halt the game to look up the range, effects, etc each time I cast something.
How about doing what I did, retiring your character (as it seems the other players and DM think it is incompatible with the "everyone fights!" ethos of the group and dislike the idea of a squishy character hanging back out of harms way) and instead playing a cleric? You can still fight in the front and hit things (earning the respect of the rest of the group), as well as do spell use, much of which is more supportive of the group - healing, protection, detection, undead control, etc? This would make you more of a team player and if done properly make them reliant on you, instead of the current "Im different, squishy and mostly useless in a front line fight, you must all protect me!" type character. It would also give you a load of protective spells that are particularly useful against evil characters if that guy continues to try to do your character in.

Im thinking if I can't get the switch with my Dex and wis so i can be a front line bladesinger and it's the same stifling of me i might just fine a good role play reason to go full team wipe and force new characters.
Why not?
