I love it when a player who doesn't RP starts doing so! It's complete gold for me as a DM and it means I made them care about something in game in a way they haven't before! The only issue you have is the player will also out of character assume they are on paper more powerful. In the case of a cleric versus a paladin, they may very well be. However, you need to make sure that the ways the come into to conflict aren't just slugfests. There needs to be a RP social element for them as well.  For example - as mentioned by a previous poster the captain of the ship gets ticked that people are shedding blood on his boat. He's truly the one in a power position here. His boat he is judge and jury on the high seas and someone just assaulted another passenger with nearly deadly consequences (I'm guessing this was a weapon atack and not a punch in the face.)  The captain threatens to throw the cleric (or both) overboard, the paladin then has a chance at diplomacy to settle the situation. Now we sort of even the score cleric:1 paladin:1 and the jockeying for leadership position continues. Just don't forget the other two players in this little side adventure...</blockquote>
