[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 6947587, member: 6816692"] Depends on the GM, but I like to switch voices and accents a lot. Especially when my players are talking to more than one NPC at a time. For the rest, as I said, it depends on the maturity level of your group. I'm lucky to play with my husband and a friend of 10+ years, so we can and do tackle difficult themes in our campaigns. Playing an opposite gender is by far an easier feat compared to playing, for example, fanatic twin oracles of Asmodeus in a believeable way. Or discussing systems of government where one character is a aristocratist (and noble) while the other is a theocracist and the third one favours a meritocratic monarchy. Or having a character deal with pregnancy. In my opinion, roleplaying something that isn't you (or is even contrary to your beliefs) can help you understand and elaborate different points of view and interest. If you are open enough to "embrace" that point of view and start arguing from it. For example, my current (albeit new) character is an Eladrin woman hailing from a matriarchic, reclusive enclave that hasn't had a lot of contact with the outside world for 500 years. And while she is kind of a "progressive youth" who thinks the current matriarchy is neither good for men nor women, she still sees the "new" world around her in a biased way. She's more accepting when it comes to female authority, doesn't question arranged relationships, is estranged by jealousy and monogamy and still has to adapt to the idea that a "father" should have any say on his child's education (the concept of fatherhood doesn't exist in her home culture). So yes, she is slightly sexist without wanting to be so. [/QUOTE]
