[QUOTE="justrob, post: 5372889, member: 90783"] Well, let me elaborate a bit. She (the player) is the main hack n slasher. Ditzy kind of girl, but when I mentioned she could rip things to shreds and kill them all conan style, she was totally in for it. She chose a tiefling because of the horns and tail, and a cleric because I mentioned that some clerics adventure to bring the wrath of their gods down upon those who oppose the ideals of that god...yeah, she's kind of a violent needs type player. Try as I might, I really can't get her to RP much beyond what little needs to be done to support her taking on the next group of baddies. When I put her through the whole shape up or the boogie man would get you scenario, I granted her some low-level magic items "Xxx of Avandra" type deals that would unlock new properties as she grew and her devotion became more solid. What she got out of the whole thing was that she got cool pointy things to stick into other things and the targets she chooses have to be chosen a little more carefully. Ok, that's fine. She's just that kind of gamer. She has been improving slowly...very slowly. I've been working with her to take more of an active role in the direction her character takes, and she's opening up. I understand it'll take time, but that's alright, It's a process. The other players are levels beyond her in RP ability, so I haven't had to work as directly with them, but everyone has a place in the story, and I build my plot lines around the needs of the characters, ie. the party currently completing the tieflings tasks for avandra.
