[QUOTE="Spell, post: 3991993, member: 19718"] talking to her might not bear the fruits you want, depending on the type of person she is. from what you say, i don't think it would help much. maybe she's the type of player that is less interested by role playing and more about the tactical side of the game. if that's the case, you simply have to live with it: things are not going to change. she might be hold back by the fact that she's relatively new. "acting" and playing in character is a bigger thing for adults that have never done it than it is for children, or young adults, or people that have played RPGs for years. if this is the case, she will eventually ease her shyness and play a bit more in character. i think you should do two things: 1. make the XP rewards public. if she like to succeed so much, knowing that she is being given less XPs for roleplaying might be helpful to make her be so blase. 2. talk about the other players, too. even if this is something that concerns you only, because your pride as DM is shaken, it is a problem at the game table, and it would be useful to think what your players think. do they feel the same as you? do they have some advice that you can all implement? best of luck.
