Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jedi_Solo" data-source="post: 3561188" data-attributes="member: 40245">Some people are better suited to certain types of characters.  I don't think that is in doubt.  Some people are better tacticions, some people can keep thousands of spells straight in their head and some people can talk circles around others at the drop of a hat.But the trouble at hand in the time issue, correct?  The fear that in the next games players will be stuck waiting for X to say something?I don't know X so I don't know the "best" way around this.  Will he feel less pressure if he rolls the die before he speaks or will he say 'it doesn't matter' and not say anything?Will he feel hurt if other others offer suggestions after five seconds of waiting instead of thirty?  Still gives X a chance but not as long of one.Since you know that you will be in a city and doing a lot of talking, can you prepare ahead of time in case he needs to talk?  ("There is a guard at the door.  What will we say if he stops us?")  Obviously the group can't ALWAYS be prepared, but one wait a night is better than five or more.The OP isn't having fun waiting around so there is an issue.  Who is X best friends with in the group?  Can they raise the issue outside of the game (and hopefully avoid a lot of stress) and find out how X feels about it?Another type of question: is he trying to speak in first person?  Would it be easier for him to speak in a general style third person?I am currently playing a Bard.  I try to speak in character when convercing with NPCs.  Being a theatre person I prefer that style.  But sometimes I can't think as fast as my Bard apparently can (he has some really high social stats).Would the group let him say :  I try to convince te guard to let me pass because of the favor I did for him last week.or does he think he needs to say:Now, Bob.  Remember when I recovered your wedding ring from Innara's house last week so that Gwen wouldn't find out that you left it there?  That caused me some problem and cost a few coins.  Could you just... you know... convienently look over there for a few seconds?If he's getting caught up on the details it might be easier if he knows he can just do a general description.</blockquote>
