[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2269946, member: 18701"] First, get some wine. Lots and lots of wine. Fill up 2 glasses to the rim and give her one. Hand her a scrap piece of paper and ONLY the Player's Handbook. Sit her down at the dinner table and tell her you are going to fix her dinner (or tell her you're going to prepare a plate for her of the fast food you just brought home) Point out the pages in the book with the pretty pictures of different races and different classes. Tell her she doesn't have to read them, but to pick her favorite picture and tell you what she liked. As you're fixing food, tell her briefly about her choices and what they actually are. While you're at it, tell her about the other races/classes in case one interests her and she'd like to look at the pictures again of those versions. Your main goal is to get her tippsy off of the wine. That way she'll be relaxed and won't take all of this info too seriously. Begin slowly making her a character. The farther you get in character creation, the more technical it is. But the more technical it gets, the more she should have drank...so she won't mind! Ya know, basically treat the situation like she would when she wants you to buy her something from a catalogue. :cool: [/QUOTE]
