[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 1669133, member: 3208"] i've often found that the easyest way to do this is to actually sit down and make the character more then a set of stats on a character sheet. figure out where he is from, who his friends were growing up, his family, who did he apprentice with, what are his goals. make the character a person. then i ask myself the same question constantly: what would he do right now? the key to good roleplaying is to make your character a role, not just stats. once you can do that, leaving what you would do behind and seeing what the character would do, you, grasshopper, can be a most excellent roleplayer. for examples, pick up an old adventure at a used rpg product store and check out some of the npc descriptions. start doing that for your character every once in awhile. going over his accomplishments and goals, his opinions ect.... to many people just pick an allignment and make every character the same every time they pick it. no two chaotic neutrals should be the same or you are doing it wrong. at least that's how i do it. edit: or you could just check out the downloads at the wotc site for an old adventure or setting enhancement book ie cormyr, read the high level npc descriptions and do the same for your character on a smaller scale. ie in stead of running a kingdom effectively, he wants to keep old man jensen from marrying betty sue mahoney and is willing to go how far to do it?
