[QUOTE="DackBlackhawk, post: 1558149, member: 10803"] [b]The Dramatic Speech[/b] The speech you talk about is common or used more often in a game where roleplaying dominates the game versus roll playing. Your poor friend doesn't get it. There's a possibility that he's more interested in action than words, so words are wasted on him. In 3E, the action is centered more on tactical roleplaying (read: combat) than character interaction. 3E (and others) D&D is compatible with character interaction and roleplaying, but your group has to buy into a bit and look for storyline develpoment as well as a kick-butt experience in die-rolling combat. Many movies we see have the speeches as they are not written with hack'n'slash adventurers in mind. A possible way to wean them into it would be to have an ally NPC bard use his bard abilities in the form of this cool speech, enheartening (and thus giving them BONUSES) while talking. As an alternative, an evil or adversary NPC bard could affect them in the opposite way. At any rate, perhaps the person (or group) can see the effect of these speeches... [/QUOTE]
