[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 4493362, member: 177"] Well, asking her why she's not engaged except in combat might help. Mind you, it also might not, if she hasn't thought about it much. Not everyone analyzes their gaming experience. In general, many players won't engage in social scenes if they don't think the scene is particularly relevant to them, is uninteresting, or they think that dealing with the scene is someone else's job. F'rex: any number of folks will step back and allow the character who has social skills and/or a high Charisma score to take the lead in such stuff. One way to engage a player is to make the social stuff [i]personal[/i] - something that the character with high charisma can't do for her. F'rex - while she's sitting by the fire, a young apprentice boy runs into the inn, and hides behind her to escape a whipping from his cruel master. The master, rightfully or no, takes this as an action on her part, and suddenly she's involved in the local guild politics... [/QUOTE]
