Hello,
I started my 5E campaign some weeks ago and it's going fine (I'm writing a diary on ENworld at this link). We're quite satisfied with the new system and my players says that they're really enjoying these first sessions. However I have a problem with one of my PCs a Sun Elf (we play in the Realms) Wizard which is really obsessed by gold and wealth. This is not a problem per se, but from what he said to me about his character this things should not be relevant to him and I soon realized that coins, jewelry and treasure are very important for the player and not for the character.
He should be a researcher of ancient magic and curious about magic and old books, at least from what he told me, but during the game this things do not appear very often but instead he's asking for money all the time: if there's a chance of having 2 coppers he wants them.
Now, I don't want to tell people how to play their characters, it's their choice, but I would like if he shows other traits of the personality of his character and not just being obsessed by wealth and jewelry.
Yesterday I talked to him about this thing, he told me he would consider my words but then he played with the same style. What can I do to push him to go in detail about other things? He also has a nice background, but it seems to ignore it when it comes to regular playing.
PS: He's a relatively new player so that's why the matter is quite delicate and I want to be sure not to scary him.
