[QUOTE="sckeener, post: 3539681, member: 8801"] bingo...I was the first role player in the group. I joined during City of the Spider Queen adventure. Everything focused on battles and the only reason to talk to anyone was to sell or buy stuff. To say I was bored was an understatement. With 2 DM changes during the game and no RP brought into the mix I felt hopeless...but they were my friends so I stayed. Then they said they wanted a change and wanted to try role playing.....for 80% of the group it was a no problem change.....however, that one player just saw the rules as mechanics. His reasoning was he was already part celestial (aasimar) and becoming half-celestial should just mean embracing what he was....I agreed but I told him he needed to show me that he was embracing that...or seeking a way to bring it out (I figured a munchkin could understand a quest)...but nope...he didn't try to do anything...just wanted to argue that he should just be allowed to take the [url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd%2Fsp%2F20040319a"]template[/url]. My point of view was he already was a CG aasimar and unless he gave me a reason for why he was changing, I wasn't about to start having all aasimars just naturally progressing to HC for no reason. We were playing in Mulhorand... I consider the game a success...mostly because that 80% enjoyed the game so much they kept text msging, chatting, and emailing me about it....I think I got them hooked. [/QUOTE]
