[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 8193004, member: 6778044"] I suppose you could call those roles, but really they are components of the character you are role playing. That is, you make decisions as if you are a halfling cleric of Tymora who was born and lived in that world. If you then switch to making decisions based on things that are happening in this world, at the table, based on what you know about other players (and not their in-world characters), then you are no longer role-playing the character in that world. You are playing a halfling cleric of Tymora at the table, and your character in the world is taking actions based on that. Again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. I'm just pointing out that if you are role-playing the character, then you are making those decisions based on what that character would make under those circumstances. Their race, class, religion, and a host of other aspects make up that character. Shifting to making decisions based on what's going on at your table is no longer making decisions as [I]that[/I] character. [/QUOTE]
