[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3994784, member: 24357"] Few years back one of our long time players left, we all wanted to continue the campaign he was involved in but the group lacked a Cleric now, and the group could not continue without one (trust me on that one- we have tried). In any case as the Player with the most left at the table I offered to play a second character. The GM was concerned that I would lose track or that the characters would be indistinguishable from one another. Not the case, the two are opposites- a once pain riddled soldier coming out of his shell of pain, and a happy optimistic cleric of Barronar Truesilver. The two characters agree on little, and challenge each other often in their beliefs. The engaging is not me talking to myself, but rather the two character operating off the other two player and the three NPCs. I tell you all this to offer a suggestion- challenge her Role Playing skills, tell her you want her to play a second character, you make it for her, tell her the character is needed for the future, but you need her character and this other character to be opposites. Should she decline then move on. Should she accept then run with it, correct her on the second character only- "this was a total surprise to you, what will you do?" I think its about challenging her Role Playing skills, about getting something from her on the table. It might even be worth sharing with the group this idea and using them to help you. Hope this help, even a little. Take care, and peace to all. [/QUOTE]
