[QUOTE="milotha, post: 1545781, member: 17122"] 1) Roleplaying doesn't have anything necessarily to do with success. It does have to do with the character's actions affecting the game. If the game is reduced to die rolls without any consideration of the actualy actions, or intent of the players, then whey are the players even sitting at the table?! If you roleplay out a social situation, it doesn't mean that you succeeded anymore. It means you had an impact on it. I never find that just rolling a d20 is a good substitute for this. 2) Perhaps because low charisma players don't expect to effect the situation. If I play one, I will role play out sabotaging the situation before we even get to a die roll. The GM seems quite willing to raise the DC based on my statements. Consider playing the high charisma player. If you say something effective, is this going to lower the DC? If roleplaying isn't rewarded, then it doesn't. [/QUOTE]
